1.2 Statement of the Problem
In
an effort to develop an economical means of cooking, different people
and institutions have come up with different designs and innovations of
cooking gadgets. Nevertheless, each design comes up with its peculiar
limitation especially with reference to the environment in which it is
being used. A look at the different types of burners available helped us
to understand the importance of this particular work. Many burners
currently in the market are single faced. With this, cooking slows down
since one thing must be cooked before the other is started. This causes
wastage of time and resources
Although there are already developed
two face burners in the market, most of them do not utilize the
principle of minimal gas combustion. Since they are two faced, they
waste more fuel than required. This study tends to curb the current
problem by designing a two face gas burner capable of asynchronous
usage, generate minimal heat and minimize fuel usage.
1.3 Aim and Objectives of the Study
The
main aim of this study is to construct a two face gas burner. To
achieve the stated aim, the following specific objectives were laid out:
i. Construct a burner that does not pose health risk to the user
and is environment friendly, i.e. applies complete combustion of gas.
ii. The burner should be safe, simple and easy to operate and maintain
iii. The burner should be able to produce enough useful heat with minimum energy loss.
1.4 Significance of the Study
This work will be of great importance to those in cooking industry as it will help improve combustion process. Specifically,
1. It would fasten the cooking process as the two face burners can be used alongside each other.
2. It can be used for commercial purposes (restaurants and Hotels)
since the gas cylinder is designed to contain large quantity of
kerosene which can burn for a longer period of time.
3. It does not form soot on the utensil used on it since the atomization
and vaporization of the gas helps it to burn properly in the
presence of oxygen.
1.5 Scope and Limitations of the Study
This
paper presents the redesign of a two face burner that uses High Static
Gas burner (HSG) product to mix the gas and air mixture before it is
ignited. This burner operates in firing range of 60,000-400,000 Btu/hr.
The objective of redesigning the burner is to improve the overall
performance of the burner. This design project deals with the port of a
powered gas burner utilizing both natural and propane gases. The port
function in a powered gas burner is to initiate the fuel gas into an air
stream. The redesigned burner port increases combustion efficiency by
3% compared to the original burner. This new burner operates within a
wider range of excess air of 5% on both the lean and rich side while
still igniting reliably and keeping the CO levels under 400 ppm. The
redesigned burner design meets all the criteria of the American National
Standards Institute ANSI Z21.17 standard for domestic gas conversion
burners. The redesigned burner was machined out of 304 stainless steel
which makes the burner head have corrosion resistant properties this
includes using corrosion resistant fasteners.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This project deals with the construction and fabrication of a two face gas burner. The gas components consists of the following major components; burner, injector opening, mixing tube, burner support, etc. The gas stove was constructed from medium carbon steel material. The choice of the selected material has to do with cost, and local availability. The distance between the cooking pot and the stove burner is 40mm, and the gap between each of the port is 5 mm. Mixing tube lengths of 80mm, tube i ... Continue reading---
