  • Patent number: 6409502
    Abstract: The technical field of the invention is that of making “in-stream” burners which are placed directly inside a duct carrying a flow of gas, with the burners serving to heat the gas and being placed as burner rails that are generally made up of individual blocks. Such burners comprising a pipe on an axis XX′ and suitable for extending transversely across the flow direction of the gas, the pipe being fed with a fuel gas and being pierced by at least two holes in alignment on a common generator line, the burner also having a flame stabilizer formed by two deflector-forming fins diverging on either side of the generator line. According to the invention, at least one of the holes is extended by a tube extending beyond the outer edges of the fins and pierced by at least one fuel gas ejection orifice at its distal end.

  • Patent number: 5634785
    Abstract: A gas burner for discharging a mixture of a gaseous fuel and combustion air into a combustion chamber wherein the mixture is burned and flue gases are formed comprises a burner body having a peripheral wall defining a combustion air supply passage having a central axis and having an orifice communicating with the combustion chamber. Primary gaseous fuel is injected in a central part of the combustion air supply passage, and secondary gaseous fuel is injected through pipes in the combustion air supply passage peripherally distributed about the primary gaseous fuel injection. Conduits for recycling the flue gases are disposed in the combustion air supply passage and associated with the secondary gaseous fuel injection. The secondary gaseous fuel is injected into the conduits, the conduits have an axis extending parallel to the central axis and an orifice along their axis at one end thereof, the orifice communicating with the combustion chamber.

  • Patent number: 5562437
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluid fuel burner with very low emission f nitrogen oxides, comprising, in known manner, means for injecting the fuel into a hearth at least one primary air supply conduit around said injection means, and at least one secondary air supply conduit located radially on the periphery outside the primary air supply conduit. According to the invention, said injection means comprise multiple orifices creating a plurality of independent divergent flames in the hearth, and the burner comprises as many secondary air supply injectors as there are said flames, each of said injectors being placed axially and angularly with respect to one of these flames, in a position such that it furnishes thereto an additional air fluid after a first phase of combustion.

  • Patent number: 4925387
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an apparatus intended to effect the combustion of a mixture of air and liquid or gaseous fuel, wherein the injection of the fuel is staged without that of the air for combustion being staged. According to the invention, in addition to the primary means (20, 34) for injecting fuel into the passage (10, 14) supplying air to the burner, secondary injection means (24) mounted inside said passage are provided and comprise a main part (24a) which is extended by a terminal part (24b) bent in such a manner that the end of said terminal part is situated downstream of the end of the primary means (20, 34) and at a distance from the axis (2) of said passage which is greater than the minimum section of the latter. The invention is applicable both to so-called parallel air admission burners and to burners having swirl vanes.
