Burner with suppressed NO/sub x/ generation

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6220325

An improved swirl burner of the two-stage combustion type reduces the amount of nitrogen oxide and soot generated while also lowering the excess rate of combustion air. A nozzle with a trustoconical shape and swirling vanes subjects the primary air to a powerful motion as it enters the first combustion chamber. The secondary-air nozzles (positioned around the primary combustion chamber) direct a rectilinear flow of air into the furnace, where the second stage of combustion occurs.
