Abstract

A burner unit has a fuel dispersion arrangement at a burner head leading to a flame region which distributed fuel from longitudinal slots extending along trailing edges of spinner vanes of a spinner vane assembly. The spinner vane assembly is disposed transversely across a flow channel of combustion air past the burner head and has a function of deflecting the axial flow of the combustion air radially outward into a conical flow. The deflective air flow pressure distribution over the spinner vanes contributes to induction and mixing of the fuel with the combustion air as the combustion air enters the flame region of the burner. Combustion gases resulting from a combustible mixture achieved in this manner have resulted in emission products with pollutant levels within currently specified limits.
