Mixing device for a gas burner
First Claim
1. A mixing device for mixing gas and combustion air for a gas burner, the mixing device having a housing that defines a combustion air inlet, a gas inlet, and an outlet, the mixing device comprising:
- a venturi which serves to mix the combustion air and the gas, wherein the venturi includes a contraction section, a mixing section and a diffuser section; and
a guide device positioned inside the venture, the guide device divides combustion air which enters the mixing device via the combustion air inlet of the housing into a primary flow and a secondary flow, wherein the combustion air of the primary flow, issuing from the combustion air inlet of the housing, is fed to the mixing section via the contraction section and is mixed with the gas to form a first mixture, and wherein the combustion air of the secondary flow, issuing from the combustion air inlet of the housing, is mixed downstream of the mixing section in the region of the diffuser section with the mixture of the gas and the combustion air of the primary flow to form a second mixture.

Abstract
A mixing device (10) for a gas burner, with a housing (11) having a combustion air inlet (13), a gas inlet (14) and an outlet (15) for the mixture of gas and combustion air, and with a Venturi device (12) which is positioned in the housing, wherein the Venturi device is contoured to form a contraction section (19), a mixing section (20) and a diffuser section (21). A guide device (22) for combustion air, which divides combustion air which enters the mixing device via the combustion air inlet (13) into a primary flow and a secondary flow, may be positioned inside the Venturi device, wherein the combustion air of the primary flow, issuing from the combustion air inlet, can be fed to the mixing section (20) via the contraction section (19), and wherein the combustion air of the secondary flow, issuing from the combustion air inlet, can be mixed downstream of the mixing section (20) in the region of the diffuser section (21) with the mixture of the gas and the combustion air of the primary flow.

19. A mixing device for mixing gas and combustion air for a gas burner, the mixing device having a housing that defines a combustion air inlet, a gas inlet, and an outlet, the mixing device comprising:
-
a venturi that includes a contraction section, followed by a mixing section, followed by a diffuser section; the gas inlet of the mixing device is in fluid communication with the mixing section of the venturi to provide gas to the mixing section of the venturi; a guide device having an outer wall that defines a lumen that extends through the guide device from an upstream end of the guide device to a downstream end of the guide device, wherein the guide device is positioned in the venturi and passes through at least part of the mixing section of the venture such that an outlet of the guide device is downstream of an inlet of the mixing section; and the guide device dividing combustion air that enters the combustion air inlet of the mixing device into a primary flow, which flows between the outer wall of the guide device and an inner wall of the venturi, and a secondary flow, which flows through the lumen of the guide device.
