A fuel injector includes a fuel nozzle configured to issue a spray of fuel from a fuel outlet in a downstream direction along an injection axis. The fuel nozzle defines a main flow passage therethrough. An injection fuel line is in fluid communication with the fuel nozzle to supply fuel to the fuel nozzle. A torch ignitor has a flame outlet opening into the main flow passage of the fuel nozzle for issuing flame into the main flow passage.

A burner for venting gas of a gas or oil well, the same comprises a venting gas tubing laid from the well up to a burning pit; a tubing for the supply of pilot gas laid parallel to the tubing of venting gas; a tubing of power lines from a control panel up to at least one electrode; a nozzle constituted by a tube that comprises a plurality of perforations that go through the wall of said tube, a plurality of air inlet tubes affixed to the wall of said tube; and a plurality of support spoilers affixed to the wall of said tube; where, the distal ends of the venting gas tubing, the tubing of supply of pilot gas and at the least one electrode, are located inside the nozzle; and where, the nozzle is installed inside the burning pit.

An improved and high capacity gas igniter for furnaces and burners. The igniter can include an igniter tip that is annular in shape and includes various holes of different sizes and angular projections distributed throughout. The igniter tip may utilize a slip-joint-like mechanism or sleeve that connects inner and outer tubes of a guide tube that allows the inner tube to slide when undergoing thermal expansion. This configuration alleviates stress from building up on the inner tube and igniter tip, preventing damage.

Apparatus for igniting a burner of a barbeque includes a housing, a mesh, an orifice, a pair of conductors and a generator. The housing defines a conduit having an inlet and an outlet spaced apart from the inlet. The mesh occludes the conduit and is positioned adjacent the outlet. The orifice is for receiving combustible gas and communicates with the inlet. The pair of conductors define a gap, the gap being positioned such that the gap is disposed in spaced relation to the mesh and the mesh is disposed intermediate the orifice and the gap. The generator is for producing a spark across the gap.

An electronically controlled burner management system for oilfield process equipment. The system includes a vessel fluid temperature sensor and electronic valve for interruption of main burner fuel flow. When process equipment is retrofitted with this system total gas production is increased, reduces fugitive emissions of unburned gas, and reduces hazards. The system integrates with existing pneumatic thermostatic control, making it easy to control and can be bypassed in the event of failure.

A torch igniter system for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a housing defining a combustion chamber, an ignition source disposed at least partially in the combustion chamber, a fuel injector, a first fluid path connecting a first fuel source to the fuel injector, a second fluid path connecting an air source to the fuel injector, and a third fluid path connecting a second fuel source to the combustion chamber. The fuel injector is configured to inject fuel, air, or a mixture of fuel and air into the combustion chamber and to impinge on the ignition source.
