Abstract
An electric heating element located in the combustion chamber of a cooking range enables a previously oil or solid fuel fired range to be converted to electricity. This enables the Range to be retained and the user to benefit from clean, fume free cooking and heating, as well as retaining their 'Old World Charm' Kitchen. The Range will operate the same features as previously. It will heat the water system, operate the Oven Unit and the Hot Plates, as well as heating the room. <IMAGE>
Description
RANGE CONVERSION UNIT
This invention relates to a Conversion Unit for an Aga, or similar Bange.
Ranges usually come in two Resin typess- 1) Oil fueled
2) Solid fueled.
This necessitates expense and labour. Oil requires storing in tanks which can be expensive to install. Oil also emits fumes which require vents or flues so reducing the output of heat.
Coal or solid fuel stoves/ranges, require much work in stoking and cleaning. What ranges are solid and are part of the 'Country
Kitchen', to remove them for a modern electric cooker, would remove the 'Old World Charm' of the kitchen.
What is one to do then if they wigh to retain their Range, yet use the clean and modern and labour saving Electricity.
There is an electric Range at present on the market, but this necessitates the removal of the old range and the installation of a '3rick heated' electric range which will cost the customer around t2400. What could be simpler than to convert the original range to
Electric by using this simple conversion unit.
This invention consists of an Electric Element, which takes the place of the Oil or Solid fuel, in the range,which enables the Range to carry out the same duties as the original fuel.
The drawing accompanying, shows how this is achieved.
Figure 1 shows the Front elevation of the range with the Element
in position.
Figure 2 shows the Xbp elevation looking down through the removed Hot
Plate.
Figure 3 shows the tiae elevation of the range
Figure 4 illustrates the Element.
Figure 5 illustrates the Base Plate.
The Element (figure 4) is a low heatrelement. 53n (Five and Three quarter inches) by 6" (Six inches), but can be made to various sizes to suit the various types of Ranges.
The Base is a square plate 7" square (Seven inches) with four fixing holes, to secure bolts, to act as feet for the Element, and so keep it at a safe distance from the base of the Range and ensure that the Element wire does not come in contact with the Range. (figure 5).
In order to place the Element in position, the Rot Plate of the Range (5) and the Damper Plate (8) have to be removed.
Now clean out thoroughly, the fire area (1) of any remains of the old fuel.
Remove the Oil inlet pipe and block off the Oil storage tank.
Use the Oil pipe inlet as a channel for the electric power supply.
If converting a Coal (solid) fuel Range, an opening will have to be made in the Side of the Range to enable the wires to pass through (3)
Block off the Out-let Plue (4) Lift the heater Element, and place in position (1) so that the Element stands in the vacated burner site.
Connect wire from the Element, inside the Range (6) to a control box (3) which is placed on the exterior of the Range.
The wire is then connected inside the control box to a junction box and
P.V.C. cable for connection to the Wain electric supply.
Replace the Hot Plate (5) and the Dmper Plate(t8) A Thermostat is fitted in the space between the Top oven and the Hbt Plate (7) and will control, automatically, your heat.
In accordance with regulations, all the plumbing work, leading to baths, sinks, etc., must be earthed.
Tour Range is now ready to ,be used.
Claims (9)
1. The Conversion unit, consists of a 'low Heat Element' which
replaces the existing fuel, but maintains the same functions
of the Range.
2. The Conversion unit, unlike the Oil or Solid Fuel burners, does not emit fumes.
3. The Conversion unit, eliminates the need for storage of Fael/Oil
4. The Conversion unit can be fitted easily to an existing flange and eliminates the need of expensive and extensive 'operations'.
5. The Range, with the Conversion unit, can be operated at the flick
of a switch, whenever it is required, without the back breaking
work of stoking and cleaning as with the solid fuel Range.
6. With the Conversion unit, maintenance is at a minimum.
7. Without the need for Flues, a larger proportion if the heat
generated by the Range is conserved and utilised in the cooking Aeating properties of the Range.
8. With the Range working on the Conversion unit, there is no
necessity for daily attention.
9. With the Conversom unit, the water system is heated, unlike the
current electric Range, which requires the water to be heated
by a different system.
