Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to a process for increasing the combustion effect in an oil burner. According to the process, a mixture of oil, atmospheric air, and added oxygen is projected through a jet into the combustion chamber of the oil burner at a pressure several times greater than 0.5 atmospheres, the outflow aperture of the jet having a diameter which is in the region of 1/10 to 2/10 mm. Because of the high pressure, a stream which is power-charged and enriched with considerable oxygen and by which combustion is advantageously influenced and oil consumption reduced, leaves the jet. Atomization is advantageously effected at a pressure of 2 atmospheres.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 80 words
A process for improving the combustion effect in an oil burner, comprising feeding a mixture of oil, atmospheric air, and added substantially pure oxygen through a jet of an oil burner having an orifice diameter of between 1/10 to 2/10 mm., said mixture being fed through said jet at a pressure of substantially 2 atmospheres, and projecting the said mixture from said jet of the oil burner into the combustion chamber of the oil burner in a power-charged combustible stream.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 80 words
A process for improving the combustion effect in an oil burner, comprising feeding a mixture of oil, atmospheric air, and added substantially pure oxygen through a jet of an oil burner having an orifice diameter of between 1/10 to 2/10 mm., said mixture being fed through said jet at a pressure of substantially 2 atmospheres, and projecting the said mixture from said jet of the oil burner into the combustion chamber of the oil burner in a power-charged combustible stream.
