Abstract
An oxy-fuel burner for producing a generally flat luminous flame, the burner having fuel passage terminating in a nozzle, the fuel passage and nozzle having a generally elongated cross-section, a housing of complementary shape surrounding the fuel passage, so that when fuel is introduced into the fuel passage and an oxidizer is introduced into the passage defined by a space between the housing and the fuel passage a generally flat luminous flame is produced at the nozzle end of the fuel conduit. A precombustor having a cross-sectional shape complementary to that of flame end of the burner can be disposed on the flame end of the burner housing to further enhance combustion and protect the burner from the furnace atmosphere.
