Abstract
Abstract A burner for combustion of nitrogen-containing fuels. The burner includes a core-air tube with centrally arranged oil atomizing lance, a dust tube surrounding the core-air tube, a mantle-air tube which surrounds the dust tube and is provided with an axially shiftable twist-blade ring arranged at the air inlet, as well as a burner opening which expands conically toward the combustion chamber. The core-air tube and the mantle-air tube are supplied from a main air conduit. Air jets or nozzles are provided in a concentric arrangement around the burner opening. These air nozzles are connected with the main air passage by conduits, and the air stream discharging from the air nozzles is regulated by a flap.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
328 words
A burner for combustion of fuel which contains nitrogen and for which purpose, said burner comprises in combination therewith: a main air supply conduit; a core-air tube which is in communication with said main air conduit; an oil atomizing lance centrally arranged in said core-air tube; a dust tube which surrounds at least a part of said core-air tube; a mantle-air tube which surrounds at least a part of said dust tube and is provided with an air inlet which is in communication with said main air supply conduit, said mantle-air tube being connected to and in communication with a burner opening which widens conically from said mantle-air tube toward a combustion chamber; an axially shiftable twist blade ring arranged in said air inlet of said mantle-air tube and arranged as a twist producer essentially only for the mantle-air although adjustable axially; at least two and up to a maximum of only six air nozzles concentrically arranged around said burner opening, said two to six air nozzles being in communication with said main air supply conduit, said two to six air nozzles being arranged in a divided circle having a diameter in a range between minimum 1.5 and maximum 3 times the diameter of said mantle-air tube so that air flow supplied therewith is axially parallel and subdivided into a mantle-air flow and a stepped-air flow as supplied therewith; and a flap for regulating the air flow through said two to only six air nozzles such that tertiary air is added axially parallel to the axis of the main flame and such that subdividing of tertiary air is kept from being too great because otherwise impulse, which in remaining or tertiary air divided into too great a number of partial flows, is insufficient in order to bring remaining or tertiary air sufficiently far into the combustion chamber, which means accordingly to bring oxygen to a location where oxygen is needed to attain an influence upon NO x -reduction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
328 words
A burner for combustion of fuel which contains nitrogen and for which purpose, said burner comprises in combination therewith: a main air supply conduit; a core-air tube which is in communication with said main air conduit; an oil atomizing lance centrally arranged in said core-air tube; a dust tube which surrounds at least a part of said core-air tube; a mantle-air tube which surrounds at least a part of said dust tube and is provided with an air inlet which is in communication with said main air supply conduit, said mantle-air tube being connected to and in communication with a burner opening which widens conically from said mantle-air tube toward a combustion chamber; an axially shiftable twist blade ring arranged in said air inlet of said mantle-air tube and arranged as a twist producer essentially only for the mantle-air although adjustable axially; at least two and up to a maximum of only six air nozzles concentrically arranged around said burner opening, said two to six air nozzles being in communication with said main air supply conduit, said two to six air nozzles being arranged in a divided circle having a diameter in a range between minimum 1.5 and maximum 3 times the diameter of said mantle-air tube so that air flow supplied therewith is axially parallel and subdivided into a mantle-air flow and a stepped-air flow as supplied therewith; and a flap for regulating the air flow through said two to only six air nozzles such that tertiary air is added axially parallel to the axis of the main flame and such that subdividing of tertiary air is kept from being too great because otherwise impulse, which in remaining or tertiary air divided into too great a number of partial flows, is insufficient in order to bring remaining or tertiary air sufficiently far into the combustion chamber, which means accordingly to bring oxygen to a location where oxygen is needed to attain an influence upon NO x -reduction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A burner in combination according to claim 1, in which said two to only six air nozzles are hole-type nozzles.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A burner in combination according to claim 1, in which said two to only six air nozzles are slotted nozzles.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
342 words
In combination with a burner for combustion of fuel which contains nitrogen, said burner being provided with: a main air supply conduit; a core-air tube which is in communication with said main air supply conduit; an oil atomizing lance centrally arranged in said core-air tube; a dust tube which surrounds at least a part of said core-air tube; a mantle-air tube which surrounds at least a part of said dust tube and which is provided with an air inlet that is in communication with said main air supply conduit, said mantle-air tube being connected to and in communication with a burner opening which widens conically from said mantle-air tube toward a combustion chamber; and the improvement in combination therewith comprising: an axially shiftable twist blade ring arranged in said air inlet of said mantle-air tube and arranged as a twist producer essentially only for the mantle-air although adjustable axially via spindles and a handwheel operatively associated therewith; at least two and up to a maximum of only six air nozzles concentrically arranged around said burner opening, said two to six air nozzles being in communication with said main air supply conduit, said two to six air nozzles being arranged in a divided circle having a diameter in a range between 1.5 and 3 times the diameter of said mantle-air tube so that secondary air flow supplied therewith is axially parallel and subdivided into a mantle-air flow and a stepped-air flow as supplied therewith; and a flap for regulating the air flow through said two to only six air nozzles such that tertiary air is added axially parallel to the axis of the main flame and such that subdividing of tertiary air is kept from being too great because otherwise impulse, which in remaining or tertiary air divided into too great a number of partial flows, is insufficient in order to bring remaining or tertiary air sufficiently far into the combustion chamber, which means accordingly to bring oxygen to a location where oxygen is needed to attain an influence upon NO x -reduction.
