Combustion chamber, particularly for vehicle heating device
An evaporative burner, particularly for a vehicle heating device, includes a combustion chamber housing and, in the combustion chamber housing, an evaporative medium for receiving liquid fuel and for delivering fuel vapor into a combustion chamber. A heating coil arrangement is on a side of the evaporative medium remote from the combustion chamber, and an ignition region of the heating coil arrangement extends over the evaporative medium into the combustion chamber.
1. Evaporative burner comprising a combustion chamber housing ( 12 ) and, in the combustion chamber housing ( 12 ), an evaporative medium ( 22 ) for receiving liquid fuel and for delivering fuel vapor into a combustion chamber ( 18 ),
said evaporative medium ( 22 ) having a shape matching the shape of a floor region ( 14 ) of said combustion chamber housing ( 12 ) and being arranged parallel to the floor region ( 14 ),
further comprising a heating coil arrangement ( 26 ) for heating the evaporative medium ( 22 ) and for igniting an air/fuel-mixture in the combustion chamber ( 18 ), said heating coil arrangement ( 26 ) comprising a heating region ( 28 ) having a heating conductor section ( 32 ) extending between the evaporative medium ( 22 ) and the floor region ( 14 ) of the combustion chamber housing ( 12 ) along and abutting a side ( 30 ) of the evaporative medium ( 22 ) remote from the combustion chamber ( 18 ),
said heating coil arrangement ( 26 ) further comprising an ignition region ( 24 ) having a heating conductor section ( 36 ) merging into the heating conductor section ( 33 ) of said heating region ( 28 ) and projecting from the heating region ( 28 ) through an opening in the evaporative medium ( 22 ) and beyond the evaporative medium ( 22 ) into the combustion chamber ( 18 ).
2. Evaporative burner according to claim 1 , wherein the heating region ( 28 ) is arranged abutting on the side ( 30 ) of the evaporative medium.
3. Evaporative burner according to claim 1 , wherein the ignition region ( 34 ) extends through a through passage opening ( 42 ) in the evaporative medium ( 22 ).
4. Evaporative burner according to claim 1 , wherein the ignition region ( 34 ) is arranged extending substantially orthogonally of the heating region ( 28 ).
5. Evaporative burner according to claim 1 , wherein the ignition region ( 34 ) in the combustion chamber comprises a heating conductor section ( 36 ) extending substantially in a U-shape.
6. Heating device comprising an evaporative burner ( 10 ) according to claim 1 .
7. The heating device according to claim 6 , wherein the heating device is for a vehicle.
