Abstract
The burner is capable of operating either on gas or fuel oil and includes a burner block with a high velocity discharge nozzle. Combustion air for the burner is rotationally spun to promote more complete combustion of the fuel and to reduce the formation of carbon deposits along the block and within the discharge nozzle. As a result of the spinning combustion air, a high rotational velocity is imparted to the flame so that the flame threads corkscrew-fashion out of the discharge nozzle and is formed with a hollow center.
