Gas fired radiant emitter having a premixing chamber for preparing a premix of gas and air; a perforated ceramic plate acting as burner deck; and a pilot burner having a premix gas supply flow tube and two electrodes. The premix gas supply flow tube of the pilot burner extends from the side of the perforated ceramic plate where the premixing chamber is located, into a through hole in the perforated ceramic plate. The premix gas supply flow tube has a gas exit in the through hole in the perforated ceramic plate or at the combustion side of the perforated ceramic plate. The gas fired radiant emitter has features so that in an area of the perforated ceramic plate around where the premix gas supply flow tube extends into a through hole in the perforated ceramic plate, no premix gas flows through the perforated ceramic plate.

A burner includes a generally cylindrical reactor chamber (1) including a housing (1) having a proximal end (1p) and a distal end (1d). In the distal end of the reactor chamber (1) there is provided a catalyst (4). A fuel inlet (7) is provided in the proximal end of the reactor chamber. There are also a plurality of air inlets (22, 23; 24) arranged in the reactor wall at the proximal end. The inlets are configured to provide a rotating flow of the air injected into the reactor chamber. There is also provided a flow homogenizer (8; 30) extending over the cross-section of the reactor chamber at a position between the fuel inlet (7) and the catalyst (4).

A fuel injection system for a gas turbine engine (10) comprises; a pilot fuel injector section (22, 23) and a main airblast fuel injector section (25, 26, 27, 28, 29), the main airblast fuel injector section having an aft end (29) facing a combustion chamber (30). A surface of the injection system exposed to air flow through an injection system is non-axisymmetric or non-planar in a reference circumferential plane and/or is configured to generate controlled and varying acoustic impedance at or adjacent the aft end where, in use, the air flow collides with an oncoming acoustic wave.

A cylindrical burner apparatus and method which produce low noise levels and are not dependent upon a blower, or natural draft, for providing combustion air flow. A flow of combustion air is induced into a rearward end of a burner tube and a swirling flame is produced in the tube by discharging a gas fuel from a plurality of discharge ports located in the tube.

The present disclosure relates to a device for heating a medium, including a burner unit and a flame tube, wherein the burner unit generates flue gas, wherein the flame tube has a flue gas inlet, a longitudinal axis, a casing extending along the longitudinal axis, and an end face opposite the flue gas inlet, wherein the flue gas passes from the burner unit into the flame tube via the flue gas inlet, wherein a plurality of recesses are located in the casing, and wherein the recesses have different dimensions and/or are distributed asymmetrically on the casing. The longitudinal axis is in a central plane, wherein a first side and a second side of the casing are formed by the central plane, and wherein recesses on the first side have smaller dimensions than recesses on the second side.

A burner assembly includes a conduit having a plurality of ports formed along a length of the conduit. The conduit is configured to direct a flow of gas out of the conduit via the plurality of ports. The burner assembly further includes a shroud extending along a length of the conduit and covering at least a portion of the conduit. The shroud is perimetrically offset from the conduit to form an air passage between the shroud and the conduit along an outer perimeter of the conduit. The conduit and the shroud are configured to facilitate airflow along the air passage in response to the flow of gas out of the conduit.
