A combustion module including a body including a combustion chamber, and at least one connector for supplying the combustion chamber with at least one combustible intended to be burned in the combustion chamber, is provided. The supply connector includes at least one inlet orifice intended to be connected to at least one source of combustible through a conduit and at least one outlet orifice intended to be connected to the at least one combustion chamber. The supply connector has a thermal conductivity substantially lower than that of the body such that the supply connector assures that the temperature at the inlet orifice of the supply connector and the conduit is lower than the auto-ignition temperature of the combustible(s).

Combustion module having improved operational safety and optimized thermal efficiency

A combustion system is provided, including at least one combustion module and at least one source of combustible gas and oxidizing gas, the combustion module including a body including a single solid piece of material including two combustion chambers configured to be supplied with the at least one combustible gas and said one oxidizing gas; a first connector in contact with a first end of the body and being heat insulating, including first supply conduits configured to supply a combustible gas to the two combustion chambers, and first evacuation conduits configured to evacuate combustion gas from the two combustion chambers; and a second connector in contact with a second end of the body and being heat insulating, including second supply conduits configured to supply a combustible gas and an oxidizing gas to the two combustion chambers, and second evacuation conduits configured to evacuate combustion gas from the two combustion chambers.
