Abstract

The pulsed combustion gases of a primary burner having a low fuel input rate are combined with those of a main burner having a high fuel input rate to provide an integrated combustion process having a single pulse frequency and improved stability. The combustion gases of the primary burner are used to start the main burner by inducing the self-feeding of an air and fuel mixture into the main burner and igniting the mixture.
