Disclosed is a burner apparatus comprising an inner tube defining a second channel and an outer tube defining a first channel surrounding the inner tube, air supplying means for supplying air to the first channel and the second channel, and gas supplying means for supplying fuel gas to the first channel and the second channel, either the first channel or the second channel being used as a main combustion channel and the other being used as a pilot combustion channel, the main combustion channel and the pilot combustion channel receiving the supply of fuel gas for combusting it. A plurality of first supply openings for supplying the fuel gas into the main combustion channel are distributed in the main combustion channel in a direction away from the pilot combustion channel. Discharging resistance of the fuel gas from each first supply opening due to passage of the oxygen-containing gas is set so as to increase as being distant from the pilot combustion channel.

Disclosed is a burner apparatus comprising an inner tube defining a second channel and an outer tube defining a first channel surrounding the inner tube air supplying means for supplying air to the first channel and the second channel, and gas supplying means for supplying fuel gas to the first channel and the second channel, either the first channel or the second channel being used as a main combustion channel and the other being used as a pilot combustion channel, the main combustion channel and the pilot combustion channel receiving the supply of fuel gas for combusting it. The burner apparatus including a common channel formed at one end of the inner tube and the outer tube for supplying the oxygen-containing gas to the main combustion channel and the pilot combustion channel. A common supply opening discharges the fuel gas of the gas channel in the common channel from the upstream side in the flow direction of the oxygen-containing gas of the pilot combustion channel to the upstream side in the flow direction of the oxygen-containing gas of the main combustion channel. A common shielding member adjusts the inflow amount of the oxygen-containing gas for a common gas supply area which extends in a discharging direction of the fuel gas from the upstream side in the oxygen-containing gas flow direction of the common supply opening and from this common supply opening to the common channel.

Disclosed is a burner apparatus comprising an inner tube defining a second channel and an outer tube defining a first channel surrounding the inner tube, air supplying means for supplying air to the first channel and the second channel, and gas supplying means for supplying fuel gas to the first channel and the second channel, either the first channel or the second channel being used as a main combustion channel and the other being used as a pilot combustion channel, the main combustion channel and the pilot combustion channel receiving the supply of fuel gas for combusting it. The main combustion channel includes a mixing promoting member against which the fuel gas discharged from the first supply opening into the main combustion channel is collided to be diffused in the main combustion channel. Alternatively, the pilot combustion channel includes a mixing promoting member against which the fuel gas discharged from the second supply opening for supplying the fuel gas into the pilot combustion channel is collided to be diffused in the pilot combustion channel.

Disclosed is a burner apparatus comprising an inner tube defining a second channel and an outer tube defining a first channel surrounding the inner tube, air supplying means for supplying air to the first channel and the second channel, and gas supplying means for supplying fuel gas to the first channel and the second channel, either the first channel or the second channel being used as a main combustion channel and the other being used as a pilot combustion channel, the main combustion channel and the pilot combustion channel receiving the supply of fuel gas for combusting it. A first supply opening supplies the fuel gas into the main combustion channel. The first supply opening is disposed in the main combustion channel with an orientation for discharging the fuel gas toward a more upstream side of the flow direction of the fuel gas than the direction normal to the flow direction of the fuel gas.

A fluid distributor includes a first feed port for feeding fuel gas into a main fuel flow path, a feed path for feeding the fuel gas inside a gas flow path to the first feed port, and distributedly into a pilot fuel flow path so as to increase the distribution ratio of the fuel gas to the first feed port according to an increase in an overall feed flow rate of the fuel gas from the gas flow path to a feed path and, inversely, to decrease the distribution ratio of the fuel gas to the first feed port according to a decrease in the overall feed flow rate. A plurality of fluid distributors are disposed in the main fuel flow path and pilot fuel flow path distributedly in the peripheral direction to constitute a gas feed means.
