Abstract
The invention relates to a high performance burner whose performance can be controlled in a stepless manner. To this end, a premixing chamber is upstream of a burner nozzle that extends into a combustion chamber. Fuel is supplied in controllable amounts to the premixing chamber, and a mixture, in the form of an emulsion, is prepared therefrom by means of air supplied from an auxiliary air line. The air-fuel mixture thus prepared is passed to the burner nozzle which diffuses it in the combustion chamber. A high performance burner in accordance with the invention is designed for use as a heating device of high performance, like an independent heating device but, advantageously, can be employed as an exhaust gas afterburner, whereby the high performance burner is disposed in an exhaust gas line of a combustion engine, or a branch line thereto. The afterburning of the exhaust gases being usable for generating of heat by way of an exhaust gas heat exchanger, as well as for the regeneration of soot filters in combustion engines, particularly Diesel combustion engines.
