Abstract
A high velocity gaseous fuel burner has a casing with an inlet end into which air is blown to an outlet end in the form of a nozzle. Within the casing but circumferentially spaced therefrom is an elongated combustion tube into the rear end of which a main burner unit projects a fuel/air mixture. The outlet end of the tube reaches to or into the nozzle and the air blown through the casing passes over the combustion tube, some air passing into the tube through apertures in its wall. A boost burner unit may be mounted through the walls of the casing and tube to project a fuel/air mixture axially towards the casing nozzle to produce further combustion beyond the tube outlet. Valves are provided for controlling the flow of fuel and air to the two burner units jointly and/or separately.
