Record 1 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

Record 2 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
