Abstract

The present invention refers to a combustion system applied in cooking equipments, which comprises technical features capable of enhancing heat exchange efficiency and capacity of cooking equipments through a turbulent combustion regime process. Preferably, the combustion system in accordance with the present invention comprises a fuel feed duct ( 1 ) connected to a cooking equipment burner ( 2 ) by means of an intermittent mechanism ( 3 ) for the purpose of releasing and blocking the fuel flow coming from said feed duct ( 1 ) such that an ignition element ( 4 ) causes a fuel turbulent combustion in said burner ( 2 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Combustion system for cooking equipment burners, comprising a fuel feed duct ( 1 ) connected to a burner ( 2 ), said system being CHARACTERIZED in that it comprises:
 at least a combustion chamber ( 10 ) cooperating with an intermittent mechanism ( 3 ) for intermittently feeding fuel, air or an air/fuel mix into said combustion chamber ( 10 ), and   at least an ignition element ( 4 ) cooperating with said intermittent mechanism ( 3 ),   said intermittent mechanism ( 3 ) being mechanic and comprising at least a valve ( 8 ) actuated by a lever ( 9 ) to release and block the fuel and/or air-fuel mix flow in the combustion chamber ( 10 ) of said burner ( 2 ).   
     
     
         2 . Combustion system, in accordance with  claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED in that said valve ( 8 ) is interconnected to the lever ( 9 ) through at least a return element ( 12 ). 
     
     
         3 . Combustion system, in accordance with  claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED in that said combustion chamber ( 10 ) comprises at least an auxiliary air or air-fuel inlet at any ratio. 
     
     
         4 . Combustion system, in accordance with  claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED in that said combustion chamber ( 10 ) of burner ( 2 ) can be opened or closed. 
     
     
         5 . Combustion system, in accordance with  claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED in that said ignition element ( 4 ) is electric/electronic or a small pilot flame fed by a parallel duct ( 11 ).
