Abstract

The object of the invention is to provide a method for operating a premix burner which has improved operational reliability and functioning during certain types of operation. In addition, it is intended to specify a corresponding premix burner for carrying out the method. According to the invention, this is achieved by the fact that at least one liquid fuel (2) is injected into the inner chamber (9) of the premix burner (4) in a plain jet (26, 26') with an injection angle .alpha. of less than 10.degree.. For this purpose, the liquid-fuel nozzle (17) has a simple injection opening (19) with a guide length (1) and with a diameter (d).
