Abstract

Disclosed is a combustion heat generator with a recirculation region for forming uniform temperature distribution in a combustion chamber by forming a gas recirculation region around a central part of a combustion space in a housing and injecting fuel into the gas recirculation region to generate space combustion based on the recirculation region.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A combustion heat generator comprising:
a plate-shaped housing having a combustion space therein;
an oxidant injector provided on a first position of the housing and forming a first circulation region by inputting an oxidant to an outer periphery of an inner side of the combustion space through an oxidant injection nozzle and circulating the oxidant;
a gas ejector provided on a second position of the housing and discharging a portion of gas circulating in the combustion space; and
a fuel feeder installed so that a front end of a fuel injection nozzle is extended into the housing and positioned in a second circulation region formed in a center of the combustion space by circulation of an oxidant in the first circulation region to inject only fuel into the second circulation region,
wherein the first position and the second position are formed on the same side of the housing respectively,
wherein space combustion is generated in the combustion space based on the second circulation region while the fuel injected into the second circulation region is gradually mixed with the oxidant circulating along the first circulation region and diffused into the first circulation region,
wherein a gas recirculation region by the first circulation and the second circulation is formed in the housing and the space combustion is generated based on the gas recirculation region, and
wherein the oxidant and the fuel recirculate in one direction in the housing.

2. The combustion heat generator according to claim 1 , wherein the housing is formed in any one shape of a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, and a polygon.

3. The combustion heat generator according to claim 1 , wherein the oxidant injector and the gas ejector are installed to be spaced apart from each other in parallel to the housing.

4. The combustion heat generator according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a guide member provided in the combustion space and configured to guide the oxidant injected through the oxidant injector to circulate the oxidant in one direction.

5. The combustion heat generator according to claim 1 , wherein the gas ejector of the combustion heat generator is connected to an oxidant injector of an adjacent combustion heat generator to successively install the plurality of combustion heat generators in series.

6. The combustion heat generator according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a heat exchanger for increasing temperature of an oxidant input through the oxidant injector and temperature of fuel input through the fuel feeder using heat of gas discharged through the gas ejector is provided on one side of the housing.
