FORCED-DRAFT BURNER [4 records]

Record 1 2005-07-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
  • Gas and Oil Heating
DEF

A gas burner in which combustion air is blown in by a motor driven fan.

CONT

[A] power burner [is a] burner in which the combustion air is supplied by a fan or blower at sufficient pressure to overcome the resistance of the burner and the appliance.

OBS

Power burner [means] a burner in which either gas or air or both are supplied at pressures exceeding, for gas, the line pressure and, for air, atmospheric pressure; this added pressure being applied at the burner. A [power] burner for which air for combustion is supplied by a fan ahead of the appliance is commonly designated as a forced draft burner.

OBS

Forced-draft burner... commonly called a "power burner".

OBS

"Burners of the power type use a fan to supply and control combustion air". Depending on ASHRAE Handbook & Product Directory, a "power burner" could be of the natural draft(natural-draft power burner) or forced-draft type(forced-draft power burner).

OBS

For gas or oil burner.

Key term(s)
  • forced draught burner
  • forced-draught burner
  • forced draught power burner
  • forced-draught power burner

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
  • Chauffage au gaz et au mazout
CONT

[...] brûleurs à air soufflé. Ces brûleurs comportent un ventilateur assurant un mélange intime du gaz et l'air.

CONT

On peut également classer les brûleurs [à combustibles liquides] suivant le mode d'apport de l'air de combustion. Ils sont dits: - à tirage naturel [...]. - à apport d'air si l'air est amené par des dispositifs mécaniques [...] soit refoulants, soit aspirants. - à tirage forcé si l'air de combustion aspiré par le brûleur met la chambre de combustion du générateur en surpression par rapport à l'atmosphère (foyer surpressé).

CONT

Les [...] brûleurs soufflés, dans lesquels le gaz et l'air sont comprimés par un ventilateur avant d'être éjectés à la buse.

Record 2 2000-04-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
DEF

A gas burner relying on machinery to bring in combustion air. Several methods are used to get air into the combustion chamber. [They are the forced-draft burner, the induced-draft burner and the fan mix burner methods. ]

Key term(s)

Record 3 1990-08-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
CONT

The forced-draft pot burner is a modification of the natural-draft pot burner, since the only significant difference between the two types is the means of supplying combustion air. The forced-draft pot burner supplies its own air for combustion and does not rely totally on the chimney.

CONT

... forced draft pot burners may be used in central heating furnaces.

OBS

Vaporizing pot-type burners can be divided into two groups: the natural-draft type and the forced-draft type.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
OBS

Ils [les brûleurs] sont dits: (...) à tirage forcé si l'air de combustion aspiré par le brûleur met la chambre de combustion du générateur en surpression par rapport à l'atmosphère (foyer surpressé).

OBS

Amenée d'air forcée. (...) l'appareil est équipé d'un ventilateur distribuant de l'air à la base de la lanterne et dans une chemise entourant cette lanterne.

Record 4 1990-08-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
CONT

Vaporizing pot-type burners can be divided into two groups : the natural-draft type and the forced-draft type.... In many instances these natural-draft vaporizing burners are regulated by a simple, float-operated constant-leveling valve equipped with a rotating flow-adjustment device which is turned manually.... These burners may also be wick-fed or have nothing but a metal vaporizing pot consisting of two or more perforated sleeves. In the latter case,... this burner is completely dependent upon natural draft for its combustion.

OBS

forced draft: Mechanical draft created by a device upstream from the combustion zone of an appliance to a chimney.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
OBS

Ils [les brûleurs] sont dits: - à tirage naturel si l'air de combustion est aspiré par la dépression créée par le tirage de la cheminée.
