A burner includes a first tube portion formed with an ejection port; a second tube portion that extends in the first tube portion toward the ejection port and to which gaseous mixture flows in from a side opposite to the ejection port; a third tube portion arranged in the first tube portion and including an open end positioned on the ejection port side; a closing portion that closes the open end; a coupling wall portion that closes a gap between the first tube portion and the second tube portion; a partition wall that is coupled to the first tube portion and the third tube portion, the partition wall being formed with a communication path; and an igniting portion that is arranged on the ejection port side with respect to the partition wall.

A fuel injector is provided. The fuel injector includes a manifold and a housing coupled to the manifold. The housing defines an interior chamber therein. The fuel injector also includes a nozzle positioned within the interior chamber. The nozzle includes an array of mixing tubes that each have a proximal end, a distal end, and a perforated body extending therebetween. The proximal ends are coupled in flow communication with the manifold such that the perforations of each body are in flow communication with the interior chamber to facilitate discharging a mixture of fuel and compressed gas from the distal ends.

A fuel atomizer that includes a housing having a fuel inlet and at least one primary orifice positioned at the inlet, wherein the at least one orifice configured to disperse a stream of fuel into a plurality of fuel droplets. The plurality of fuel droplets contact a fuel impingement surface to break up the plurality of fuel droplets into a plurality of smaller secondary droplets and create a thin film of secondary droplets on the impingement surface. At least one pressurized air channel delivers an airflow into contact with the secondary droplets. The secondary droplets pass through a plurality of secondary outlet orifices to exit the housing. A size of the plurality of secondary droplets is reduced when passing out of the plurality of secondary orifices.

A burner includes a tubular inner tube portion and a tubular outer tube portion. The inner tube portion mixes fuel with air. The outer tube portion surrounds the inner tube portion. A peripheral wall of the inner tube portion has a gaseous mixture outflow hole. The gaseous mixture outflow hole causes a clearance between an inner peripheral surface of the outer tube portion and an outer peripheral surface of the inner tube portion to communicate with an interior of the inner tube portion. A peripheral wall of the outer tube portion has an air supplying hole. The air supplying hole further supplies air to the clearance.

The premixed pilot nozzle includes axially elongated tubes defined within a plenum between an outer shroud and a first shroud disposed radially inward of the outer shroud. The tubes extend between tube inlets defined through a forward face and tube outlets defined through an aft face. A second shroud is disposed radially inward of the first shroud, thereby defining a fuel plenum between the first shroud and the second shroud, and the fuel plenum is in communication with a gaseous fuel supply. A fuel injection port, which is positioned between the tube inlet and the tube outlet of each tube, is in fluid communication with the fuel plenum. An air supply configured to fluidly communicate with the tube inlet of each tube. The second shroud defines a second plenum therein, the second plenum being coupled to a source of a non-combustible fluid.

Provided are dryness raiser and method for improving steam dryness of a steam injection boiler. Technical solutions of the dryness raiser and the method are that: a plurality of compressed air circulation holes perpendicular to a front end head are provided in the middle of a flange bolt hole of the front end head in a compressed air inlet passage, and the compressed air inlet passage is connected to a fuel pipe passage by the compressed air circulation holes; and a plurality of compressed air heat dissipation holes are provided in a front end face of the front end head, and are perpendicular to and are connected to the compressed air circulation holes, air heat dissipation nozzles are disposed at tail ends of the compressed air heat dissipation holes, and a plurality of air heat dissipation jet orifices are evenly distributed on circumferences of the air heat dissipation nozzles.

A fuel-fired burner 100 includes a combustion air inlet 113 for receiving combustion air coupled to a combustion air nozzle 136 at an input to a second chamber 152 within a burner housing 110 spaced apart from a third chamber 168 within the second chamber. The combustion air nozzle 136 directs the combustion air 171 into the third chamber 168. A fuel inlet 111 coupled to a burner nozzle 167 secured to a burner mounting plate 161 has a recycle port 164 for receiving hot exhaust gas provided to an exhaust gas path 165. A jet pump located entirely inside the burner housing is configured to receive the hot exhaust gas from the exhaust gas path. The jet pump operates by flowing the combustion air through the combustion air nozzle 136 which suctions in the hot exhaust gas through the recycle port into the exhaust gas path then into a gas mixing zone 178 for mixing the hot exhaust gas and the combustion air.
