The invention relates to a method for combusting a fuel gas with an oxidant by using a burner assembly (10) comprising a burner (12) and a lance (14), the method comprising providing via the burner (12) a main gas flow to a combustion, wherein the main gas flow comprises a main part of the fuel gas and a first part of the oxidant. Further, the method comprises providing via the lance (14) a staging gas flow to the combustion, wherein the staging gas flow comprises a second part of the oxidant and an auxiliary part of the fuel gas. The main part of the fuel gas is larger than the auxiliary part of the fuel gas. Furthermore, the invention relates to a burner assembly (10) and a furnace comprising such.

A reactor for a mixture of fluids that can react with each other exothermically, the reactor combining the properties of heat transfer and porosity, and having a first chamber wherein reacted fluids are maintained above the reaction temperature threshold, a second chamber disposed adjacent to the first chamber, wherein unreacted fluids enter the second chamber at a temperature that is below a reaction temperature threshold that is necessary for reaction of the fluids to occur, the fluids flowing in a second direction, opposite the first direction and a porous wall disposed between the first chamber and a second chamber, allowing portions of the unreacted fluids from the second chamber to seep into the reacted fluids of the first chamber, thereby heating the seeped fluids, causing the seeped fluids to react, the reaction increasing the temperature of the reacted fluid.

A burner has a housing on which a combustion tube is arranged, wherein the combustion tube has an opening at the end averted from the housing, wherein a mixing element is provided in the combustion tube, and the space between the mixing element and the opening forms a combustion chamber, wherein the housing has at least two mutually separate channels which open out in the mixing element, wherein gases flow through the channels and the mixing element, and mixing of the gases takes place for the first time in a combustion chamber, wherein the mixing element is produced in an additive manufacturing process and has at least two separate intermediate channels which branch in the direction of the combustion chamber in a flow direction.

A blower assembly for a gas-burning appliance includes a blower and a motor coupled to the blower and configured to turn the blower to provide airflow through the gas-burning appliance. The blower assembly also includes a housing enclosing the blower and the motor. The housing includes a first portion and a second portion coupled to the first portion. The first portion and the second portion define a cavity therebetween to receive the motor and the blower. The blower assembly further includes an inlet sleeve coupled between the first portion and the second portion. The inlet sleeve is configured to couple to the gas-burning appliance and receive the airflow from the gas-burning appliance. The blower assembly also includes a seal extending at least partially around the inlet sleeve and at least partially between the inlet sleeve and at least one of the first portion and the second portion.

A heater having a planar metal sheet with a first and second surface. A metal oxide layer is formed on the first surface of the sheet and a combustion catalyst is impregnated into the metal oxide layer. A source of fuel and air is then supplied to the first side of the metal sheet resulting in catalytic combustion which heats the metal sheet. The metal sheet can serve as a cooking stove.
