Abstract

Bei einem Brenner, der im wesentlichen aus einem Drallerzeuger (100) für einen Verbrennungsluftstrom (115) und aus Mitteln zur Eindüsung eines Brennstoffes in den Verbrennungsluftstrom (115) besteht, ist stromab des erwähnten Drallerzeugers eine Mischstrecke (220) angeordnet. Diese Mischstrecke (220) weist innerhalb einer ersten Teilstrecke (200) eine Anzahl von in Strömungsrichtung verlaufenden Uebergangskanälen (201), welche die nahtlose Ueberführung der im Drallerzeuger (100) gebildeten Strömung (40) in ein nachgeschaltetes Rohr (20) sicherstellen. Die Austrittsebene dieses Rohres (20) zur Brennkammer (30) ist mit einer Abrisskante ausgebildet, welche der Stabilisierung und Vergrösserung einer sich stromab bildenden Rückströmzone (50) dient.
