Thermal radiation shield and combustion air controlled enclosure assembly for a ground flare

Abstract

A thermal radiation shield and combustion air controlled enclosure assembly. The assembly encloses a ground flare or flares and includes a plurality of structural supports at an obtuse angle to grade. Panels extend between the structural supports surrounding the ground flare wherein the panels are at an obtuse angle to grade.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A thermal radiation shield and combustion air control enclosure assembly for a ground flare, which assembly comprises;
 a plurality of structural supports at an obtuse angle to grade; and   at least one panel extending between said structural supports surrounding said ground flare wherein said panel is at an obtuse angle to said grade.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly as set forth in  claim 1  wherein said obtuse angle of said at least one panel is the same as said obtuse angle of said structural supports. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly as set forth in  claim 2  wherein said obtuse angle of said at least one panel and said obtuse angle of said structural supports ranges between 110 and 120 degrees. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly as set forth in  claim 2  including a plurality of said panels contiguous with each other. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly as set forth in  claim 2  including a plurality of said panels wherein said panels are spaced from and parallel to each other. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly as set forth in  claim 1  wherein said obtuse angle of said at least one panel is different from said obtuse angle of said structural supports. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly as set forth in  claim 6  wherein said obtuse angle of said structural supports ranges between 110 and 120 degrees. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly as set forth in  claim 1  including a secondary enclosure spaced from said at least one panel. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly as set forth in  claim 8  wherein said secondary enclosure is vertical to grade. 
     
     
         10 . The assembly as set forth in  claim 8  wherein said secondary enclosure is at an obtuse angle to grade.
