Abstract
A fuel injector arrangement for fluid fuel combustion apparatus comprises a conduit 31 for the flow of an airstream, a conduit 56 for the flow of fluid fuel to a housing 15 incorporating a fuel plenum chamber 25, the fuel plenum chamber 25 having at least one inlet orifice 22 and at least one outlet orifice 34 in substantially direct alignment, the inlet orifice(s) 22 being connected to the conduit 31 whereby, in use, air in the airstream flows into the plenum chamber to thereby force fuel out of the plenum chamber via the outlet orifice(s). The airstream may constitute a secondary airstream, there being, in use, a primary airstream which flows around and beyond the housing in a conduit 10 to receive the fuel forced out of the fuel plenum chamber.
