Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a combustion device for improving a turndown ratio, which is capable of stably implementing a combusted state in a low-output load region by improving a turndown ratio of a burner. To this end, the present invention provides the combustion device having a premixing chamber ( 300 ) which is connected to an air supply tube ( 100 ) and a gas supply tube ( 200 ), and which has a space for premixing air and gas provided therein, wherein the space for premixing the air and gas supplied from the air supply tube ( 100 ) and the gas supply tube ( 200 ) is divided into multiple stages of a venturi structure in the premixing chamber ( 300 ), and the discharging direction of the gas discharged inside the premixing chamber ( 300 ) through the gas supply tube ( 200 ) is formed in parallel to the flow direction of the gas supplied inside the premixing chamber ( 300 ) through the air supply tube ( 100 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A combustion device for improving a turndown ratio, the device comprising:
a premixing chamber connected to an air supply tube and a gas supply tube, the premixing chamber having a inner space in which air and gas for combustion are mixed with each other,
wherein the inner space of the premixing chamber, in which the air and gas supplied through the air supply tube and the gas supply tube are mixed with each other is divided into a multiple-stage venturi structure, and
the gas discharged into the premixing chamber through the gas supply tube is discharged in parallel to a flow direction of the air supplied into the premixing chamber through the air supply tube,
the combustion device further comprising a mixed gas regulation unit that opens or closes a portion of the premixing chamber divided into the multiple-stages to regulate a flow rate of a mixed gas of the air and gas,
wherein the premixing chamber is divided into two stages to form a first premixing chamber and a second premixing chamber in both sides of a partition member, and
the mixed gas regulation unit opens or closes the second premixing chamber through/into which the air passes and the gas is discharged,
wherein the gas supply tube is branched into a first gas discharge tube supplying the gas into the first premixing chamber and a second gas discharge tube supplying the gas into the second premixing chamber, and
a first discharge hole of the first gas discharge tube and a second discharge hole of the second gas discharge tube are formed so that the gas is discharged toward outlets of the first premixing chamber and the second premixing chamber,
wherein the first and second gas discharge tubes are disposed to transversely cross a middle portion of the first premixing chamber and the second premixing chamber, respectively,
wherein the mixed gas regulation unit comprises a moving block reciprocated by a driving unit to open or close the second discharge hole of the second gas discharge tube and a flow path of the air passing through the second premixing chamber,
wherein the driving unit comprises a step motor or a solenoid.

2. The combustion device of claim 1 ,
wherein a flow path of the air is formed around each of the first gas discharge tube and the second gas discharge tube.

3. The combustion device of claim 1 , wherein the first discharge hole of the first gas discharge tube and the second discharge hole of the second gas discharge tube are formed in throat portions in the first premixing chamber and the second premixing chamber, respectively.
