Burner unit and device for the temperature control of objects

Abstract

Flue gases are produced in a combustion chamber of a burner unit, in particular for the combustion of exhaust air. Combustion gas can be supplied to a gas burner via a combustion gas line and feed air, in particular exhaust air that can be used as feed air, is supplied to said burner via a feed air line. The feed air is divided into primary air and secondary air by a device. The primary air is mixed with the combustion gas, in a mixing zone, to form a primary air/combustion gas mixture, said primary air/combustion gas mixture being supplied to the combustion chamber. A flue gas re-circulation system comprises a through-flow chamber which is connected to the combustion chamber and in which the secondary air is mixed with the flue gases occurring in the combustion chamber to form a secondary air/flue-gas mixture. The secondary air/flue-gas mixture is supplied to the primary air/combustion gas mixture in the combustion chamber by means of a device. At least one internal cylindrical surface of the through-flow chamber forms a Coanda profile in the direction of flow. A device for the temperature control of objects, in particular for drying painted vehicle bodies, comprises a temperature-control tunnel that is accommodated in a housing and that defines at least one tunnel section comprising at least one air outlet and at least one air inlet. A heating assembly, in which a hot primary gas can be generated by means of a burner unit of this type, is associated with the tunnel section.
