One object of the present invention is to provide a burner which can uniformly heat a wide area without decreasing the heat radiation even when the swing width of the flame self-oscillating is large, and the present invention provides a burner in which a main combustion fluid and a second combustion fluid are combusted by ejecting the main combustion fluid while self-oscillating from a central expanding ejection port (3) which expands towards a tip end and ejecting the second combustion fluid from a pair of side ejection ports (5 and 7) provided on both sides of the central expanding ejection port (3), wherein a pair of the side ejection ports (5 and 7) are disposed symmetrically with respect to a central axis of the central expanding ejection port (3), and the central expanding ejection port (3) and the side ejection ports (5 and 7) are provided such that an expanding angle α of the central expanding ejection port (3) and an angle β formed by the central axes of a pair of the side ejection ports (5 and 7) satisfy a relationship of −5°≤β≤α+15°.

A burner comprises a central passageway and outlets for fuel and for stabilizing oxidant arranged peripherally around the central passageway, and comprises outlets within the burner through which biasing gas, such as gas comprising oxygen, can be injected to enable control of the direction of the flame that is generated by combustion of the fuel and the oxidant at the face of the burner.

Post-mix burner and use of same for generating a flame curtain, the burner having a longitudinal central dividing wall (5) terminating in a wall head (7) towards the burner top (4), an oxidant inlet compartment (102) and an oxidant outlet compartment (103) on a first side of the central wall (5), a fuel inlet compartment (202) and a fuel outlet compartment on the opposite side of the central wall (5); the wall head (7) presenting a first set of oxidant outlet passages (107) and a second set of fuel outlet passages (207) terminating respectively in first oxidant ejection openings (100) and second fuel ejection openings (200) in an ejection surface (10) at the burner top (4), the oxidant and fuel ejection openings (100, 200) each extending in the longitudinal direction along the ejection surface (10).

A heater of an external tubular sleeve for repairing a longitudinal section of defective hollow pipe has a frame for encompassing the sleeve when operationally positioned. Each of several burners spaced at intervals about the frame as nozzle for heating the sleeve, and a novel baffle located intermediate the nozzle and sleeve when operationally positioned, for heat dispersal over the sleeve. Each baffle has staggered vents for passing flame from the nozzle onto the sleeve, to avoid cold spots on the sleeve below the baffle, and has a central shaped deflector proximate the vents and facing the nozzle. Flame from the nozzle impacts the deflector and redirects toward the vents and periphery, of the baffle, to avoid point heating below the nozzle and provide diffused flame uniformly over the sleeve. Changing deflector and vent features can influence desired flame dispersal characteristics.

Flame arrestors and methods of making flame arrestors are described herein. An example flame arrestor includes a cylindrical body. The body includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end of the body has an end surface. The body also includes a recess formed in the end surface of the first end. The recess is defined by a recessed surface extending inward from the end surface toward the second end. The body further includes a set of channels formed through the body between the first and second ends. The channels extend through the recessed surface.
