Abstract

A burner head of ceramic materials through which the fuel (combustible) and the oxidizing agent (oxygen or oxygen-containing gas such as air) are passed from an inlet side to an outlet side, combustion being effected at the outlet side. According to the invention, the gas passages for the fuel and the oxidizing medium are of elongated cross section and parallel to one another, being offset in pairs so that indirect heat exchange is effected between the two mediums through the separating ceramic wall. The passages can be formed as rectangular-section channels which are closed at the top and bottom by ceramic plates.
