Abstract:
A fireplace and method of manufacturing a fireplace. Embodiments of the fireplace comprise a combustion chamber, a front opening allowing viewing within the combustion chamber, and a back wall opposite the front opening. The back wall can be controllably switched between an opaque state and a transparent state. A combustion region between the front opening and the back wall is adapted to provide a flame. A controller coupled to the back wall enables a user to switch the back wall between the opaque and transparent states. In embodiments the back wall comprises a glass panel and switchable film on the glass panel. The controller is coupled to the switchable film.
Abstract:
A cooking appliance is provided. The cooking appliance may include a burner pot having a plurality of mixing spaces and a gas valve device to adjust a flow rate of a gas to be supplied into at least one mixing space of the plurality of mixing spaces.
Abstract:
A burner assembly for a cooking appliance is provided. The burner assembly includes a first port to which a gas mixture of gas and air is supplied and a second port which is separate from the first port and to which a gas mixture of gas and air is supplied, a combustion mat at which the gas mixture supplied to the first port or the second port is burned, and a tube assembly that guides the gas and air to the first and second ports.
Abstract:
A non-open fire type cooking burner capable of exhibiting endurance, workability and safety. Heat combustion or exhaust gas produced by combustion in a burner body are guided to a heat exchanger made of metal and discharged through an exhaust pipe to an exterior of a room, respectively. The heat is then radiated to a ceramic plate arranged above the heat exchanger for cooking. An air shifter provided with an air-direction change-over damper is arranged so as to change over flowing of air, to thereby permit the cooking burner to be applied to space heating as well as cooking.
Abstract:
Improved burner constructions for gas-fired infra-red generators having ceramic fiber matrix through the thickness of which gaseous combustion mixture is passed and as it emerges it is burned to heat emerging surface to incandescence. Burner matrix can be loaded with silicon carbide particles to improve its emissivity, can be made water repellent and its uniformity can be improved. Burner body can be casting, with sheet metal addition to form a baffle and air seal and to grip matrix edges. Combustion mixture plenum can have movable partition assembly separating it from air seals, to adjust portion of matrix at which incandescence is generated. Metal screen can be stretched in front of incandescent surface to assist with low-temperature operation. Large size matrix can have central support fitted and secured to back of burner body. Air seal can be provided by narrow curtain of air extending around internal faces of burner body. Annealing lehr is desirably provided with gas-fired infra-red irradiation, and can have heat losses reduced by diminishing amount of metal used as in a conveyor to move workpieces through.
Abstract:
Gas-fired burner having porous ceramic face through which gaseous combustion mixture emerges and on the emerging surface of which the mixture burns, can heat substrate with help of streams of air or recycled combusted gas sweeping across substrate to help remove moisture or other volatiles being driven from substrate. Burner body can have pilot ignition compartment. Ceramic face can be large ceramic fiber mat the back of which is supported to burner body back. Combustion mixture can be controlled to essentially stoichiometric.

Abstract:
A tube-fired radiant energy heating system comprising a burner of high rated capability and having a combustion chamber which is connected to an elongate radiant energy emitter tube typically carring a directing reflector, and connected at the output end to a power exhaust fan. Fixed primary and adjustable excess air inlet means are provided at the burner unit to permit excess air to be continuously drawn around the combustion chamber and into the radiant energy heater tube to be mixed with the ignited primary fuel/air mixture at the inlet to the heater tube. This method of firing permits the construction of the apparatus using lower cost materials which, if used in a burner system fired at Stoichiometric fuel/air ratios, would be thermally oxidized and weakened. The excess air flow results in the control of the emitted air temperature to safe levels, minimizing oxidation and maintaining the high tensile strength with high BTU inputs. The system also affords economic benefits in size and weight of materials, use of less costly alloys and finishes. The lower overhead temperatures also permit reduced tube mounting heights.
