Abstract
Abstract An improved pulverized fuel burning method and apparatus having means for decreasing the pressure drop through the burner nozzle and decreasing the formation of nitric oxides, including a splash plate to breakup a natural forming fuel-rope, a deflector to deflect the fuel-rope, and a diffuser to disperse the pulverized fuel into a more desirable fuel burning distribution pattern.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
An improved fuel burner having a tubular nozzle with an end plate attached thereto and a means for reducing the pressure loss though the nozzle and inhibiting the formation of nitric oxides, the means comprising; a deflector located downstream fuel flow-wise of the end plate and; a diffuser disposed within said nozzle having a shroud and a plug located downstream fuel flow-wise of the deflector.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
65 words
An improved fuel burner having a tubular nozzle with an end plate attached thereto and a means for reducing the pressure loss though the nozzle and inhibiting the formation of nitric oxides, the means comprising; a deflector located downstream fuel flow-wise of the end plate and; a diffuser disposed within said nozzle having a shroud and a plug located downstream fuel flow-wise of the deflector.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The improved fuel burner according to claim 1 wherein said deflector is a semicircular plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The improved fuel burner according to claim 1 wherein said deflector is angled downward in the direction of said diffuser.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The improved fuel burner according to claim 1 wherein the plug is formed of two frusto-conical sections joined at their base.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The improved fuel burner according to claim 1 wherein the shroud is cyclindrically shaped.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
66 words
An improved air entrained fuel burner having a tubular nozzle flow connected to an elbow member and a means for reducing the pressure loss through the nozzle, the means comprising; a deflector located downstream fuel-wise of the elbow member, and a diffuser having a cyclindrically shaped shroud mounted concentrically within the nozzle downstream fuel flow-wise of the deflector and a plug mounted concentrically within the shroud.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
66 words
An improved air entrained fuel burner having a tubular nozzle flow connected to an elbow member and a means for reducing the pressure loss through the nozzle, the means comprising; a deflector located downstream fuel-wise of the elbow member, and a diffuser having a cyclindrically shaped shroud mounted concentrically within the nozzle downstream fuel flow-wise of the deflector and a plug mounted concentrically within the shroud.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
The fuel burner according to claim 6 wherein the deflector is shaped to directionally guide the air entrained fuel into the shroud.
