  • Patent number: 9765662
    Abstract: A burner includes a tubular inner tube portion and a tubular outer tube portion. The inner tube portion mixes fuel with air. The outer tube portion surrounds the inner tube portion. A peripheral wall of the inner tube portion has a gaseous mixture outflow hole. The gaseous mixture outflow hole causes a clearance between an inner peripheral surface of the outer tube portion and an outer peripheral surface of the inner tube portion to communicate with an interior of the inner tube portion. A peripheral wall of the outer tube portion has an air supplying hole. The air supplying hole further supplies air to the clearance.

  • Patent number: 9476333
    Abstract: A burner for an exhaust purifying device includes a tube, an air supply port for supplying air for combustion into the tube, a fuel supply port for supplying fuel into the tube, and an ignition portion. The tube includes a premixing chamber for mixing air for combustion and fuel to generate a pre-mixed air-fuel mixture, a combustion chamber for combusting the pre-mixed air-fuel mixture to generate post-combustion gas, and a discharge port for discharging the post-combustion gas. The ignition portion ignites the pre-mixed air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. The tube further includes a swirling flow generation unit arranged upstream of the premixing chamber for generating a swirling flow of which the center direction corresponds to a fuel injection direction and a diffusion unit arranged downstream of the swirling flow generation unit in the premixing chamber for diffusing the fuel incorporated in the swirling flow.
