Abstract

A burner arrangement for the combustion of a fuel gas/oxygen mixture, characterized by a body permeable for the mixture whose surface regions defining the free cross section of flow are covered with an oxidation catalyst, by a feeder device arranged on an intake side of the body permeable for the mixture which distributes the mixture over at least essentially the entire active intake area of the intake side and by a layer coordinated with the feeder device and separating the catalytic combustion zone of the permeable body from the mixture inflow, but permeable for it, which serves as a flashback safety.
