Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure relates to a device for heating a medium, including a burner unit and a flame tube, wherein the burner unit generates flue gas, wherein the flame tube has a flue gas inlet, a longitudinal axis, a casing extending along the longitudinal axis, and an end face opposite the flue gas inlet, wherein the flue gas passes from the burner unit into the flame tube via the flue gas inlet, wherein a plurality of recesses are located in the casing, and wherein the recesses have different dimensions and/or are distributed asymmetrically on the casing. The longitudinal axis is in a central plane, wherein a first side and a second side of the casing are formed by the central plane, and wherein recesses on the first side have smaller dimensions than recesses on the second side.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A device for heating a medium, comprising: a burner unit and a flame tube, wherein the burner unit generates flue gas, wherein the flame tube has a flue gas inlet, a longitudinal axis, a casing extending along the longitudinal axis, and an end face opposite the flue gas inlet, wherein the flue gas passes from the burner unit into the flame tube via the flue gas inlet, wherein a plurality of recesses are located in the casing that are divided into a first set of recesses and a second set of recesses wherein the flame tube is horizontally arranged, wherein the longitudinal axis is in a central plane, wherein a first side and a second side of the casing are formed by the central plane such that the first side is arranged above the second side, wherein the first set of recesses are disposed on the first side and the second set of recesses are disposed on the second side, and wherein the recesses have different dimensions and are asymmetrically distributed on the casing, such that the first set of recesses disposed on the first side have smaller dimensions than the second set of recesses disposed on the second side. 2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the device further has a flue gas outlet, and wherein the flue gas passes from the flame tube to the flue gas outlet. 3 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein a majority of the recesses is located in a portion of the casing which is small relative to an overall length of the casing, and wherein the recesses are located between a last third and a last quarter of the casing in front of the end face. 4 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the end face is partially or completely closed. 5 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the device further includes a heat exchanger, and wherein the flame tube is at least partially located in the heat exchanger.
