Abstract

Method and apparatus for generating oxy-liquid fuel with lowered NO.sub.x products using low pressure oxygen to atomize liquid fuel and produce an oxy-liquid fuel flame and surrounding the oxy-liquid fuel flame by an oxidizer, confining the oxy-liquid fuel flame and oxidizer in a precombustor for a distance determined by the rate of flame propagation and the diameter of the pre-combustor.
