Appl. No.:

12/841393

Inventors:

Jack Greenwood - Wentzville MO, US
Robert J. Reese - Edwardsville IL, US

Assignee:

Duke Manufacturing Co. - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

A21B 1/00
A21B 1/26
F27D 19/00
F24C 15/00

US Classification:

219391, 219400, 219414, 219507, 126 21 A, 126273 R

Abstract:

A convection oven having a vapor collection system; water injection system; easily accessible electrical components; and a variable-speed, reversible blower is disclosed. The vapor collection system collects vapor from the cooking chamber during a cooking event, condenses the vapor, and drains the condensed vapor. The water injection system injects water for impact against a blower wheel for dispersion into the air circulating through the cooking chamber. The electrical components are housed within a housing that in a closed position conceals the components and in a closed position exposes the components for easy access. The rotational speed and direction of the variable-speed, reversible blower is controlled during a cooking event according to predetermined speed curves which may include one or more reversal events to achieve more uniform cooking of food. A main controller is programmable via an operator input (e. g. , liquid crystal display touch screen) to control operating parameters of the oven.

US Classification:

126 21 A, 126 83, 126312

Abstract:

Apparatus for substantially blocking flames and spreading heated gases emitted from a broiler flue. The apparatus includes a riser placed above the broiler flue for defining a pathway along which heated gases are exhausted from the flue, a catalyst support on the riser for supporting a catalyst in the pathway for flow of heated gases through the catalyst from a bottom surface of the catalyst to a top surface of the catalyst, and a plurality of baffles in the riser extending across the pathway below the catalyst support. The baffles have the shape of inverted troughs.
