Abstract: An atomizing type burner comprises an air supply tube (11,103) for supplying an air, a combustion cylinder (104,114,115) connected to the open end of the air supply tube (11,103), a fuel supply tube (102) for supplying a fuel at least partially placed in the air supply tube (11,103), a fuel atomizing nozzle (101) formed in the shape of a funnel and connected to the open end of the fuel supply tube (102), a passage formed by the air supply tube (11), the combustion cylinder (104), the fuel supply tube (102) and the fuel atomizing nozzle (101), and a small clearance portion formed in the passage near the fuel atomizing nozzle (101). The small clearance portion is nallower than the front and the rear portions of the passage so as to function as an atomizer.

Abstract: In an apparatus for burning a combustible liquid containing a combustible liquid and water, a furnace (1) has a lower portion, an upper portion and a side portion extending between the lower portion and the upper portion. A burner (2) is placed at the lower portion of the furnace (1) for burning a fuel. A heat exchanger (3A) is connected to the furnace (1) for receiving a hot gas produced in the furnace (1) and heating the combustible liquid so as to vapourize the water. A generator (3B) is connected to the heat exchanger (3A) for generating the vapourized water. A heater (7) is placed at the upper portion of the furnace (1) and connected to the generator (3B) for heating the vapourized water so as to be dried before it enters into the furnace (1).
