Abstract
A swirl generator, a method for preventing flashback in a burner with a swirl generator and a burner are provided. The swirl generator includes a central fuel distributor element, an outer wall enclosing the central fuel distributor element and bounding an axial flow channel for combustion air, swirl vanes extending in a radial direction to the outer wall and giving the flowing combustion air a tangential flow component, and a separating wall enclosing the central fuel distributor element and being positioned radially within the outer wall. The separating wall divides the flow channel into a radially inner channel segment and a radially outer channel segment. The radially inner channel segment allows the combustion air to pass without giving it a tangential flow component or while giving it a tangential flow component counter to the orientation of the tangential flow component in the radially outer channel segment.
