Proposed is a gas preheating torch that projects a flame. A hollow adaptor module is connectable to a portable gas container. A gas valve body module has a gas flow path to discharge gas introduced from the portable gas container. A gas temperature change module includes a gas inlet pipe connected to the gas valve body module, a bent gas pipe connected to the gas inlet pipe, and a gas outlet pipe connected to the bent gas pipe and the gas valve body module. A heat exchange promotion module enables heat exchange between gas flowing through the gas inlet pipe and gas flowing through the gas outlet pipe. A burner module is connected to the gas valve body module and located behind the bent gas pipe to spray gas discharged from the gas valve body module, project a flame, and heat the bent gas pipe.

A plurality of independently flow rate-controlled flows of oxidant may be preheated at a heat exchanger (or both oxidant and fuel at separate heat exchangers) by heat exchange with a hot shell-side (heat transfer) fluid. The separate flows of hot oxidant are directed to associated separate burners where they combust with flows of fuel to produce hot combustion gases. The hot combustion gases are used to preheat the hot shell-side fluid at a recuperator or regenerator.

The present invention relates to a combustion apparatus capable of reducing the combustion load of a burner and improving the combustion efficiency thereof. The combustion apparatus includes: a premixing chamber for premixing external air, introduced through an air supply inlet, with a combustion gas; a blower for supplying a mixed air premixed in the premixing chamber toward a burner; a combustion chamber for burning the mixed air by ignition of the burner; a heat exchanger for heat exchange with room heating water by using the combustion heat of the combustion chamber; an exhaust gas discharging part for discharging an exhaust gas having passed through the heat exchanger; and a duct through which the exhaust gas having passed through the exhaust gas discharging part is discharged outside, wherein the combustion apparatus includes an air intake preheater for heat exchange between the exhaust gas discharged to the duct through the exhaust gas discharging part and the air supplied to the premixing chamber through the air supply inlet, the air intake preheater including a channel-forming member in which a plurality of unit plates are stacked with a predetermined interval therebetween to form an exhaust gas channel and an air intake channel therein that are separated from each other, are adjacent to each other, and are alternately arranged.

A furnace-heating combustion apparatus that allows adjustment of a ratio between the amount of primary air and the amount of secondary air. A double-tube elongate burner extends through a rear wall portion of an air box disposed away from a furnace wall. The leading end portion of the burner is disposed inside a tube section such that a secondary air conduit is formed between an outer circumferential face of the leading end portion and an inner circumferential face of the tube section. A primary air conduit is provided at the leading end portion of the burner to introduce the air inside the air box from the rear end portion and cause it to flow toward the leading end portion. A burner supporting means is provided for to allow adjustment of the position of the burner in the longitudinal direction relative to the rear wall of the air box.
