Abstract
Abstract A burner unit for fluid fuels and also for pulverized coal comprising combustion chamber means, prechamber means, means to enable combustion gases to pass from said combustion chamber means into said prechamber means, mixing pipe means in communication with said prechamber means and said combustion chambers means, a fuel supply nozzle for distributing finely divided fuel towards said mixing pipe means into the drawn-in combustion gases, and means for supplying oxygen-containing gas, f.i. air, to the mixture of fuel and combustion gases, wherein said means for supplying oxygen-containing gas comprises a plurality of exit openings arranged symmetrically about the longitudinal axis of said fuel supply nozzle to increase the suction effect of the oxygen-containing gas on the combustion gases drawn into said prechamber means.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A burner unit comprising combustion chamber means, prechamber means, means to enable combustion gases to pass from said combustion chamber means into said prechamber means, mixing pipe means in communication with said prechamber means and said combustion chamber means, a fuel supply nozzle for distributing finely divided fuel towards said mixing pipe means into said recirculated combustion gases, and means for supplying oxygencontaining gas to the mixture of fuel and combustion gases, wherein said means for supplying oxygen-containing gas comprises a plurality of exit openings arranged symmetrically about the longitudinal axis of said fuel supply nozzle, said means for supplying oxygen-containing gas comprises pipes extending into the prechamber and arranged symmetrically about the fuel supply nozzle, the interstices between adjacent pipes forming passageways for the recirculated combustion gases into the space of the prechamber surrounding the fuel supply nozzle.
