Abstract

In a premixed type of combustion of a liquid fuel at high pressure, the injection of the fuel (4c, 4d) and its evaporation with a gaseous medium (5) is undertaken, in order to prevent premature ignition of the liquid/gaseous mixture in the burner itself, at a location where the droplets of the fuel from the fuel nozzles (4a, 4b) are screened from the flame radiation from the flame front of the burner. As soon as the fuel (4c, 4d) is pre-evaporated, i.e. leaves the duct (7a, 7b) via the inlet slot (1d, 2d) in the direction of the internal space (3) of the burner as a mixture (6), it absorbs practically no flame radiation.
