Definitions

• the invention relates to a burner of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1
• burners are used advantageously in heating systems of residential and non-residential buildings.
• the heat generated by the burner when the fuel is burned heats up water in a boiler, for example.
• burners for liquid fuels such as heavy oil, extra light heating oil or kerosene
• burners for gaseous fuels such as natural gas exist is characterized in particular by the fact that their heat generation can be regulated over a large output range, which is referred to in the professional world as modulability.
• gas burners have favorable values with regard to pollutant emissions
• Burners for liquid fuels are widespread While burners for heavy oil are used in the firing of industrial plants, burners for light heating oil, especially those of the "heating oil extra light” type, dominate in heating systems in residential and non-residential buildings an oil pump required heating oil is atomized by means of a nozzle and burned directly. Such burners can only be modulated from higher outputs, e.g. greater than 100 kW. Due to structural measures such as better insulation of buildings, the specific heating requirement has decreased over the past two decades for heating systems with a nominal output of 15 kW and more.If the heat requirement is lower, which is the case with newer single-family houses, for example, the burner must be switched on and off continuously, i.e. run in so-called cycle mode t process associated with increased pollutant emissions, so that overall less favorable emission values result
• vaporizer burners The fuel is vaporized by the action of heat, then mixed with air and burned.
• Such burners were initially primarily used to burn kerosene or petroleum because these fuels have a relatively low vaporization temperature
