A gas fired infrared radiant heating system of improved thermal output. The
present invention solves problems associated with prior
art designs by providing a single gas delivery system for delivering
combustible gas to two or more burner assemblies. The invention
consists of a burner housing (10) with two or more burner assemblies (18),
each of which can be connected to a typical radiant tube
heat exchanger assembly (12). The homer housing contains a single gas delivery
system including a valve (14), a single control circuit
module (30), a single blower proving switch (50), and a single manifold (16)
which will distribute the gas to the multiple radiant tube heat
exchanger assemblies (12). In addition, in positive pressure configurations,
the burner housing will also have a single air fan (38), whereas
in negative pressure configurations of the heating system one or more exhaust
fans may be utilized. The foregoing design will provide a
higher thermal output without the heat distribution and installation cost
problems of the currently available infrared heaters.
L'invention concerne un système de chauffage radiant à infrarouge alimenté par gaz dont la puissance thermique est augmentée. Grâce à la présente invention, les problèmes associés aux dispositifs de l'art antérieur sont résolus par le fait que le système présenté comporte un seul système pour l'amenée de gaz combustible à au moins deux ensembles brûleurs. Le système selon l'invention est constitué d'un carter (10) et d'au moins deux ensembles brûleurs (18) dont chacun peut être relié à un ensemble échangeur de chaleur tubulaire radiant (12) classique. Le carter de brûleur contient un seul système d'amenée de gaz qui comporte une soupape (14), un seul module circuit de commande (30), un seul commutateur de détection d'air de ventilateur (50) et un seul collecteur (16) qui distribue le gaz aux différents ensembles échangeurs de chaleur (12) tubulaire radiant. En outre, lorsque le système de chauffage présente une configuration à pression positive, le carter de brûleur présente également un seul ventilateur (38), tandis que lorsque le système de chauffage présente une configuration à pression négative, il peut comporter plus d'un ventilateur d'évacuation. Le système présenté offre une puissance thermique supérieure sans présenter les problèmes relatifs à la distribution de chaleur et aux coûts d'installation connus avec les chauffages à infrarouge actuellement disponibles.
