An auxiliary burner for an electric furnace capable of increasing and homogenizing the heating effect of iron scrap by suitably and efficiently burning solid fuel along with gas fuel. Auxiliary burner 100 for an electric furnace comprises a solid fuel injection tube 1, a gas fuel injection tube 2, and a combustion-supporting gas injection tube 3 in the stated order from the center side, all arranged coaxially, and is characterized in that: a combustion-supporting gas flow path 30 of the 10 combustion-supporting gas injection tube 3 is provided with a plurality of swirl vanes 4 for swirling the combustion-supporting gas, and the angle θ formed between the swirl vanes 4 and the burner axis is 5° or more and 45° or less.

A system including a variable orifice component including a main body, a main fuel path extending through the main body, and a control body positioned in the main body. The control body is movable between a first position wherein a first fuel path thereof is in fluid communication with the main fuel path to enable fuel to flow therethrough, and a second position wherein a second fuel path thereof is in fluid communication with the main fuel path to enable fuel to flow therethrough. The system further includes a vent body coupled to the main body. The vent body is movable between a first position wherein the main fuel path is in fluid communication with a vent orifice of the vent body to provide fluid communication between the main fuel path and a surrounding environment, and a second position wherein the main fuel path is not in fluid communication with the vent orifice.

The present disclosure is directed to a fuel nozzle including a center body having a tube shape and a ring manifold disposed at an aft end of the center body. The fuel nozzle also includes an inner tube extending axially through the ring manifold and disposed within the center body. The inner tube is in fluid communication with a diluent supply. The fuel nozzle further includes a fuel tube extending helically around a portion of the inner tube. The fuel tube fluidly couples a fuel plenum of the ring manifold to a liquid fuel supply. Furthermore, the fuel nozzle includes a plurality of fuel injectors circumferentially spaced within an outer band of the ring manifold and in fluid communication with the fuel plenum. Each fuel injector is oriented to direct atomized liquid fuel radially outward from the center body. The ring manifold and the inner tube are thermally decoupled.
