Abstract
The present invention provides dual-fuel burners for the oxidation of liquid and of gaseous fuel with air. A dual-fuel burner is provided with an atomizer nozzle which generates a divergent spray cone of liquid fuel, and with an annular atomizer lip as an impact member for the liquid fuel spray cone. The dual-fuel burner has a primary channel for a first air stream through the spray cone and the inside of the atomizer lip, and a secondary channel for a second air stream over the outside of the atomizer lip with a common, coaxial mouth at an atomizer edge thereof. A channel for the gaseous fuel leads into the inside of the atomizer lip between the primary and secondary channels and discharges into one or both of the primary and secondary channels upstream of the atomizer edge.
