Abstract: A burner head has at least two and preferably four openings (45) in an aperture plate (37), with uniformly inclined guide blades (23) for the delivery of incoming air in the direction of an axis (31) to a combustion chamber (15) in the form of incoming air jets (53) intersecting one another in the chamber. Between the openings (45), blocking blades (27) are embodied, for forming peripheral underpressure zones (55) between the incoming air jets (53). The incoming air jets (53) are deflected by the guide blades (23) into a position that is inclined relative to the axis (31). The incoming air jets (53) therefore diverge and as a result create a central underpressure zone (57) about the axis (31) between the incoming air jets (53). By means of the central underpressure zone and the inclination of the incoming air jets, a rotation of the incoming air is achieved.
