- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to gas heaters and, more particularly, to unvented gas heaters.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Unvented gas heaters are designed to be used indoors without pipes, ducts, or other conduit to vent the heater's exhaust to the exterior atmosphere. Vent free gas heaters typically include one or more gas burners and optionally one or more ceramic containing heating elements in a housing. The gas and air mix in the heater where combustion takes place. These heaters may have a blower to force air flow through the heater providing the release of heated gases or convective heat.
- Unvented gas heaters have been designed to be free standing, mounted on a wall, or in a decorative housing such as a vent free fireplace. The housing providing a vent free fireplace is typically substantially the size of a fireplace and has artificial logs above the burners. Some have even been designed with a glass front to provide the appearance of an enclosed fireplace.
- The unvented heaters of the prior art are typically designed to use either natural gas or liquid propane gas as a fuel source. It is not permitted for a manufacturer to supply a conversion kit for an unvented gas heater to convert from one fuel source to another. Even if such a conversion kit were permitted, as is the case with vented gas heaters, to change fuel source gas type on a heater in the field, requires the installer to change the regulator, pilot orifice and burner orifice for the alternate gas type.
- A dual fuel gas burner is provided for use in a vent free heater. Embodiments of the dual fuel vent free gas burner can be used in free standing heaters, wall mount heaters, gas fireplaces, or other vent free heaters as is known in the art.

The heater may be designed to use natural convective air currents and may optionally have a fan enhancing the natural convective currents within the heater. Alternatively, a fan may be used to force the gases and/or air within the heater at desired flow patterns which may be counter to natural convective forces.
- This gas heater can be operated with multiple fuels such as liquid propane or natural gas. In some embodiments, an installer turns a selector valve plumbed in the product gas train. This selection sends the correct gas type to the correct fuel injector and pilot burner. Preferably, all plumbing connections are performed at the factory rather than onsite by the user or installer.

At the third position, one end of the “L” shaped flow throughfuel injector aperture 812 and axially aligned “L” shaped flow throughpilot aperture 814 are blocked by the wall ofcylindrical aperture 850 in control block 804 cutting off the flow of fuel. -
FIG. 9 shows a schematic view of dual fuel ventfree heater 900. Dualfuel gas heater 900 comprises tworegulators fuel lines Fuel line 146 extends from the “T” connector tothermostatic control valve 130. Apilot line 142 and aninjector line 144 lead fromthermostatic control valve 130 to multi-positionalmanual control valve 800. Multi-positionalmanual control valve 800 has a first, second, and third control position as indicated with LP, NG, and OFF. The first control position creates a flow communication between thepilot line 144 andinjector line 142 leading fromthermostatic control valve 130 withpilot flame burner 120 andinjector 128 throughpilot feed line 140 andinjector feed line 136 respectively. The second control position creates a flow communication betweenpilot line 144 andinjector line 142 leading fromthermostatic control valve 130 withpilot flame burner 122 andinjector 126 respectively. The third position cuts off fuel flow frompilot line 144 andinjector line 142 leading fromthermostatic control valve 130.Thermal switch 935 is in electrical communication with a temperature sensor proximatepilot flame burners electrical connectors Thermal switch 935 sends a shut off signal to a control valve when a first set temperature is exceeded inpilot flame burner 120 or a second set temperature is exceeded inpilot flame burner 122 cutting off the flow of fuel toheater 900. -
FIG. 10 shows a schematic view of dual fuel ventfree heater 1000 havingburner cross-over burner 171. Such a configuration provides a blue flame burner and a yellow flame burner as is often desirable in a vent free fireplace heater. The configuration ofheater 1000 is similar to the configuration ofheater 900 with the addition ofburners 132 b,cross-over burner 171, two fuel line “T” connectors, andfuel injectors Crossover burner 171 is in flow communication withburners Burner 132 b hasfuel injectors bracket 124 b proximate an axial end and is situated substantially parallel burnerl32 a.Fuel supply line 134 b feedsinjector 126 b with a “T” connector in flow communication withfuel supply line 134 a.Fuel supply line 136 b feedsinjector 128 b with a “T” connector in flow communication withfuel supply line 136 a. -
FIG. 11 is a schematic view of dual fuel ventfree heater 1100 having a multi-positionalmanual control valve 800 directly controlling the flow of fuel intoheater 1100. The configuration ofheater 1100 is similar to that ofheater 900 but does not havethermostatic control 130. Rather, fuel from eitherregulator 112 orregulator 114 is fed throughfuel line Fuel lines pilot line 142 andinjector line 144 which lead directly to multi-positionalmanual control valve 800. Therefore, the amount of heat produced byheater 1100 is manually controlled with multi-positionalmanual control valve 800 without any thermostatic control.
