  • Patent number: 5049066
    Abstract: A burner for mixing and burning a gaseous fuel includes an inner pipe, carrying the gaseous fuel, and an outer pipe, carrying combustion air in the annular space between the inner and outer pipes. A cone-shaped horn is affixed to the end of the inner pipe. The horn extends near the inner surface of the outer pipe, leaving a narrow annular space therebetween. An alternating series of air jetting portions and blind portions around the periphery of the large end of the horn encourage the formation of mixing vortices as air passes through the air jetting portions. A plurality of radially directed fuel jetting openings in the inner pipe, upstream of the horn, inject gaseous fuel into the combustion air to form a lean air-fuel mixture. A plurality of jet openings at the end of the inner pipe, within the horn, direct gaseous fuel generally parallel to the diverging wall of the horn.
