Abstract
A fuel/air supply device including a fuel supply arrangement designed to convey fuel to a fuel outlet of the fuel/air supply device, a primary air supply arrangement designed to convey air to an air outlet of the fuel/air supply device, and a secondary air supply arrangement connecting the primary air supply arrangement to the fuel supply arrangement at a position upstream of a fuel compressor that is included in the fuel supply arrangement. The secondary air supply arrangement includes an air conduit that has a restricted portion for defining a relatively small air passage in the air conduit, and can be used for realizing a fuel/air mixture of low calorific value if so desired on the basis of a supply of air to the fuel without needing complex control measures.
