INSHOT BURNER [5 records]

Record 1 2011-02-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
DEF

A gas burner in which the gas is delivered from the side(s) of the combustion chamber, resulting in a horizontal flame.

CONT

Inshot burners have become the dominant burner in North American residential gas furnaces, according to the American Gas Association. The burners have a single port, and fire into a pipelike heat exchanger. They differ markedly from older designs that had multiple burner ports with two-part heat exchangers, known as clamshells. Inshot burners have resulted in smaller furnace cabinets, a handy feature when remodeling a basement.

CONT

... the Multi-Port In-Shot Burners ... actually shape the flame cone to produce maximum heat with minimum fuel usage, and the heat exchanger is serpentine-shaped to provide maximum heat transfer.

OBS

Modern furnaces make use of four different types of main gas burners. These burners are : 1) drilled port; 2) slotted port; 3) ribbon; 4) inshot.... usually the drilled pot burner is made of cast iron. The others are made by forming steel into the desired shape.... The burner head is the top part of the burner. It is here that the ports are placed that determine the type of burners(drilled port, slotted port, ribbon, or inshot).... The burners parts are openings that release the gas and air mixture into the combustion chamber.

OBS

inshot burner : term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee(New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
OBS

Brûleurs à gazéification. Dénommés également gazéificateurs ou brûleurs à vaporisation, on distingue parmi eux ceux qui fonctionnent en tirage naturel et ceux équipés d'un ventilateur [...] Leur principal élément est une coupelle ou pot dans laquelle le fuel se vaporise avant de brûler en présentant une flamme verticale ou horizontale.

OBS

Brûleur à gazéification à ventilateur et flamme horizontale.

OBS

brûleur à flamme horizontale : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
DEF

A boiler composed of a number of separate sections fastened together, resulting in a large heat transfer area. It can be fired by an upshot or inshot gas burner, or by a pressure-atomizing oil burner. Sizes range up to 4 million Btuh(about 80 BoHP).

Record 4 2000-05-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
DEF

A gas burner in which the gas is delivered vertically from below the combustion chamber, resulting in a vertical flame.

CONT

Burners of the atmospheric type are most frequently made up of a multiple of tubes or burners, each with a Venturi, gas orifice, and burner heads. These burners are of inshot or upshot design... upshot burners are arranged vertically, making them more adaptable in firebox-type boilers.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
CONT

Brûleurs produisant une flamme verticale. Dans la quasi-totalité des applications (au moins 95 %) l'axe du pulvérisateur doit être horizontal, ce qui a pour conséquence de donner naissance à une flamme plus ou moins allongée dont on peut modifier la longueur en utilisant les divers artifices que nous connaissons [...] Si nous plaçons le pulvérisateur verticalement, deux cas sont à considérer selon que le jet de particules combustibles est dirigé vers le haut (pulvérisateur en source) ou vers le bas (pulvérisateur en voûte).

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
DEF

... openings that release the gas and air mixture into the combustion chamber.

OBS

The burner head is the top part of the burner. It is here that the ports are placed that determine the type of burner(drilled port, slotted port, ribbon, or inshot)... There should be no more than two rows of ports on a burner head...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
  • Combustion et combustibles (Foyers)
DEF

Orifice d'admission du gaz chauffant ou de l'air dans la chambre de combustion.

CONT

[...] brûleur à flamme bleue. L'arrivée du gaz se fait par un injecteur [...] A son passage dans le col de Venturi, le gaz atteint une vitesse plus grande et, par ce fait, aspire l'air dans le convergent, l'entraîne dans la chambre de mélange, puis sort par les orifices de combustion.

CONT

[Brûleur à prémélange] Le mélange [...] obtenu alimente une tête de combustion constituée d'orifices percées dans une paroi et à travers lesquels passe le prémélange.
