[0046] The above technical solution has the following advantageous effects: the combustion air flows out of the elongated holes in the base plate of the fire protection baffle, generates a rotational flow under the action of the air guide blades to be strongly mixed with the fuel gas sprayed from the combustion nozzle for combustion, and dissipates the high-temperature flame in a short time; a part of process air (the process air mentioned here means that a medium is used to absorb the heat generated by a burner, and then the heated medium is used to heat a products, such as drying a gypsum board) passes through the fin and participates in the combustion together with the combustion air, which greatly improves the temperature uniformity on the whole section of the combustion air duct, reduces the chemical combination of oxygen and nitrogen at a high temperature during combustion, greatly reduces the generation of nitrogen oxides, thus stably providing the heating process air with a uniform temperature below 850° C., and meeting the industrial technological requirements such as gypsum board drying.
