Burner (), in particular for a vehicle heater (), having an orifice plate () separating an inner combustion region () from an outer region (), wherein a photosensitive sensor () is arranged in the outer region (), wherein at least two separate air inlet openings () are being provided in the orifice plate (), wherein one of the at least two air inlet openings () is additionally formed as a light opening () which also allows light to pass from the inner combustion region () to the photosensitive sensor () that is arranged in the outer region (), wherein the at least two air inlet openings () are being shaped such that the same combustion air quantities flow into the internal combustion region () per unit time, respectively, and wherein the orifice plate () is transparent and/or the light opening () has a shape different from the air inlet openings () that are not formed as light opening such that an illumination area defined by the light opening () is larger than a reference illumination area defined by one of the at least two air inlet openings () that are not formed as light opening ().

Burner with improved orifice plate

A heat exchanger and a method of manufacturing a heat exchanger having an internal conduit for conducting a fluid, and a heat dissipating body for dissipating heat of the fluid. The heat dissipating body has a cavity extending in a longitudinal direction. An end piece of the internal conduit extends inside of the cavity and has an orifice facing a bottom surface of the cavity for feeding the fluid into a bottom area of the cavity. An inner shell of the heat dissipating body includes a first portion and a second portion, each portion having at least two ribs transversally displaced in relation to each other. At least one rib of one of the first and the second portion is transversally displaced in relation to each rib of the other of the first and the second portion.
