Abstract: The burner comprises inner and outer tubular concentrically arranged conduits having their outlets positioned approximately in the same plane. The inner conduit is connected to a high pressure gas source; the outer conduit is connected to a low pressure gas source. The end face of the inner conduit forms a valve seat in which a Coanda-type valve body seats. The valve body is axially displaceable away from the valve seat so as to co-operate therewith to form an annular passage. A tubular shroud concentrically surrounds the conduit outlets and valve body in spaced relation therewith. In operation, high pressure gas unseats the valve body and flows at high velocity through the annular passage.

Abstract: A water hydrant diffuser formed of a plurality of diffuser elements mounted in generally parallel planes in a housing. A coupling section has a free end and a mating end with the free end being designed so that the coupling section can be secured to a water hydrant outlet. The other end of the coupling section is connected to one end of the housing. A fluid flow measuring device can be inserted in the water hydrant diffuser intermediate the coupling section free end and the diffuser elements.
