DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] The embodiments of the Hydrocarbon Burner 100 are comprised of a fuel supply connection, 108, an air supply 90-degree connector 112, an air supply support tube 111, a perforated air supply tube 110, an air supply connector 109, fuel supply connection 108, one or more support angles 107, an intake manifold 106, a support plate 105, two side perforated burner tubes 103, a middle perforated burner tube 104, two side plates 102, and an end manifold 101.

[0020] The hydrocarbon fuel enters the intake manifold 106 via the fuel supply connection 108. Fuel flows from the intake manifold 106 into a plurality of perforated burner tubes 103, 104. In one embodiment of the Hydrocarbon Burner there are three perforated burner tubes, a middle perforated burner tube 104 and two side perforated burner tubes 103. Air enters the Hydrocarbon Burner through an air supply 90-degree connector 112 and into the perforated air supply tube 110. Air then leaves the perforated air supply air tube 110 and mixes with the hydrocarbon fuel as it enters the intake manifold. Air and fuel continue to mix within the intake manifold 106. The air fuel mixture enters the perforated burner tubes 103, 104 and the combustion process begins as it exits the perforations on the perforated burner tubes 103, 104.

[0021] The perforated air supply tube 110 is fabricated from a highly heat conducting material. In one preferred embodiment, the perforated air supply tube 110 is fabricated from copper or copper alloy material to facilitate heat transfer. The perforated air supply tube 110 is fitted within the air supply connector 109 and the air supply support tube 111 in part to maintain a thermal connection to the outside surfaces of the Hydrocarbon Burner to facilitate heat transfer.

[0022] In another embodiment of the Hydrocarbon Burner, the coupling is a tank flange. Further, in another embodiment of the Hydrocarbon Burner, there will not be a short nipple or a coupling coming out of the top of tank flange rather there will be a plastic plug that holds the aspirator inside the burner until it is ready to be installed.
