  • Swirl-stabilised burner having an inertisation front and related methods
    Patent number: 10995957
    Abstract: A burner for producing a stabilized flame with an inertisation front upstream from the stabilized flame includes a swirl generator and an inlet device with a passage therethrough. The swirl generator swirls an inert process medium about a swirl axis in a flow direction and one or more openings in the inlet device provide one or more partial mass flows containing combustion educts. The inert process medium inhibits combustion of the combustion educts through the inertisation front to displace the stabilized flame from the one or more openings.
    Type: Grant
