Referring to
A mixing tank 11 is located at the lower space and includes an inner space 111. The output pipe 112 is connected with the mixing tank 11 and extends through the through hole 26 so as to deliver the mixture of the flammable gas to a burner 3 a shown in
A hydrogen source 12 is located in the upper space and has a hydrogen input pipe 121 connected thereto. An oxygen source 13 has an oxygen input pipe 131 connected thereto and a coolant pipe 15 is located in the upper space and connected to a coolant source. The hydrogen input pipe 121, the oxygen input pipe 131 and the coolant pipe 15 are respectively connected to the mixing tank 11, and the hydrogen source 12, the oxygen source 13 and the coolant source are respectively connected with the control panel 14. The user may check the conditions of mixture by lights of the control panel 14. A plurality of ventilation holes 25 are located on two sides of the casing 2 and a plurality of casters 29 are connected to an underside thereof.
A receptacle 24 is connected to the casing 2 and located away from the sensor unit 22, and the receptacle 24 is connected with the oxygen source 13 which can be driven by AC current when needed.
The mixing tank 11 has an inner space 111 and a tubular member 113 is received in the mixing tank 11 and defines the inner space 111 into a first space 114 outside of the tubular member 113 and a second space 115 within the tubular member 113. The tubular member 113 includes a filter 116 located in communication between the first and second spaces 114, 115 so that the hydrogen, the oxygen and the coolant are mixed and filtered before entering the second space 115. The mixture is pure and includes less foreign objects. The output pipe 112 communicates with the second space 115 so as to be sent the mixture to the burner 3 via the output pipe 112.
The hydrogen source 12 is a hydrogen molecular storage device and an isolation coat 122 is coated on the hydrogen molecular storage device. The oxygen source 13 is a pump which can also be driven by a direct current battery 132. The isolation coat 122 is in communication with the oxygen source 13 and includes a space through which air passes to maintain the pre-set temperature of the oxygen source 13.
While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
