Abstract

The present invention relates to a burner. At least one first passage, at least one second passage and a mixing chamber are formed in the burner, and the mixing chamber is respectively connected to an outlet of the first passage and an outlet of the second passage, so that a first fluid and a second fluid are mixed in the mixing chamber to form a fluid mixture; wherein the burner includes a nozzle, and at least one through passage fluidly connected to the mixing chamber is formed in the nozzle, so that the fluid mixture flows out from the at least one through passage, and wherein the sum of the sectional areas of the at least one through passage is smaller than the sectional area of the mixing chamber.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A burner, comprising:
at least one first passage, with a first inlet of each of the first passages fluidly connected to a supply port of a first fluid; at least one second passage, with a second inlet of each of the second passages fluidly connected to a supply port of a second fluid; and a mixing chamber, which is respectively fluidly connected to a first outlet of the first passage and a second outlet of the second passage, wherein the first fluid and the second fluid are mixed in the mixing chamber to form a fluid mixture;
wherein the mixing chamber has a sectional area
the burner comprising a nozzle, and at least one through passage fluidly connected to the mixing chamber is formed in the nozzle, wherein the at least one through passage has a sectional area, configured such that that the fluid mixture flows out from the at least one through passage, wherein the sum of the sectional areas of the at least one through passage is smaller than the sectional area of the mixing chamber,
wherein the at least one first passage is configured to cause the first fluid to produce rotational flow in a first rotation direction; and/or the at least one second passage is configured to cause the second fluid to produce rotational flow in a second rotation direction,
wherein the at least one first passage is a plurality of first passages, wherein the outlet of each of the first passage is located at a different position in the circumferential direction relative to the inlet thereof, wherein flows of the first fluid from the plurality of first passages form a rotational flow in the first rotation direction as a whole in the mixing chamber.

2 . The burner according to claim 1 , wherein the sum of the sectional areas of all the through passages is 5-90% of the sectional area of the mixing chamber.

3 . The burner according to claim 1 , wherein none of the through passages in the nozzle is on the same axis as the second passage; or
the at least one through passage includes a through passage on the same axis as the second passage, wherein the equivalent diameter of the through passage on the same axis as the second passage is smaller than 50% of the equivalent diameter of the outlet of the second passage.

4 . The burner according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of through passages are provided in the nozzle, and the through passages include inner passages and outer passages, wherein an outer outlet of each outer passage is located outside an inner outlet of each inner passage in the radial direction of the nozzle.

5 . The burner according to claim 4 , wherein the through passages extend in a direction gradually away from an axis of the nozzle from the inlets to the outlets.

6 . The burner according to claim 4 , wherein the outer outlets are evenly distributed on one circumference, and/or the inner outlets are evenly distributed on one circumference.

7 . The burner according to claim 6 , wherein the inner outlets are spaced apart from the outer outlets in the circumferential direction.

8 . The burner according to claim 1 , wherein the outlet of the at least one through passage is configured such that a propagation speed of a flame is smaller than a flow rate of a mixture at the outlet of the through passage.

9 . The burner according to claim 1 , wherein the flow rate of the first fluid at the outlet of the first passage and the flow rate of the second fluid at the outlet of the second passage are both greater than the flow rate of the mixture at the outlet of the through passage.

10 . The burner according to claim 1 , wherein a helical groove with the helical direction being the first rotation direction is formed in at least a part of the at least one first passage, and/or a helical groove with the helical direction being the second rotation direction is formed in at least a part of the at least one second passage.

11 . A burner, comprising:
at least one first passage, with a first inlet of each of the first passages fluidly connected to a supply port of a first fluid; at least one second passage, with a second inlet of each of the second passages fluidly connected to a supply port of a second fluid; and a mixing chamber, which is respectively fluidly connected to a first outlet of the first passage and a second outlet of the second passage, wherein the first fluid and the second fluid are mixed in the mixing chamber to form a fluid mixture;
wherein the mixing chamber has a sectional area
the burner comprising a nozzle, and at least one through passage fluidly connected to the mixing chamber is formed in the nozzle, wherein the at least one through passage has a sectional area, configured such that that the fluid mixture flows out from the at least one through passage, wherein the sum of the sectional areas of the at least one through passage is smaller than the sectional area of the mixing chamber,
wherein the at least one first passage is configured to cause the first fluid to produce rotational flow in a first rotation direction; and/or the at least one second passage is configured to cause the second fluid to produce rotational flow in a second rotation direction,

wherein the at least one first passage is a plurality of first passages, and each of the first passages comprises:
a first part, extending parallel to an axis of the burner from the inlet of the first passage; and
a second part, an outlet of which is located at a different position in the circumferential direction relative to an inlet thereof, so that flows of the first fluid from the plurality of first passages form a rotational flow in the first rotation direction as a whole in the mixing chamber.

12 . A burner, comprising:
at least one first passage, with a first inlet of each of the first passages fluidly connected to a supply port of a first fluid; at least one second passage, with a second inlet of each of the second passages fluidly connected to a supply port of a second fluid; and a mixing chamber, which is respectively fluidly connected to a first outlet of the first passage and a second outlet of the second passage, wherein the first fluid and the second fluid are mixed in the mixing chamber to form a fluid mixture;
wherein the mixing chamber has a sectional area
the burner comprising a nozzle, and at least one through passage fluidly connected to the mixing chamber is formed in the nozzle, wherein the at least one through passage has a sectional area, configured such that that the fluid mixture flows out from the at least one through passage, wherein the sum of the sectional areas of the at least one through passage is smaller than the sectional area of the mixing chamber,
wherein the at least one first passage is configured to cause the first fluid to produce rotational flow in a first rotation direction; and/or the at least one second passage is configured to cause the second fluid to produce rotational flow in a second rotation direction,

wherein the at least one first passage is a plurality of first passages, and each of the first passages comprises:
a first part, extending parallel to an axis of the burner from the inlet of the first passage; and
a second part, extending obliquely toward an axis of the burner from the first part to the outlet of the first passage.

13 . The burner according to claim 1 , wherein between the first fluid and the second fluid, one is an oxidant, and the other is a fuel.
