Abstract
A premix burner for combusting premixed gas containing fuel and air mixed in advance includes a plurality of combustion nozzles including a first nozzle having an ignition rod disposed therein and a second nozzle other than the first nozzle, a first premixed gas passage for supplying the premixed gas to the first nozzle, and a second premixed gas passage for supplying the premixed gas to the second nozzle. The first premixed gas passage and the second premixed gas passage are fluidically isolated from each other.
Claims12
A premix burner for combusting a premixed gas containing a fuel and air mixed in advance, comprising:
- a plurality of combustion nozzles including a first nozzle having an ignition rod disposed therein and a second nozzle other than the first nozzle;
- a first premixed gas passage for supplying a premixed gas to the first nozzle;
- and
- a second premixed gas passage for supplying a premixed gas to the second nozzle,
- wherein the first premixed gas passage and the second premixed gas passage are fluidically isolated,
- wherein the premix burner further comprises:
- a pipe in which the ignition rod is inserted and which forms at least a part of the first premixed gas passage inside thereof;
- a back plate through which the pipe penetrates:
- a front plate disposed between the back plate and the plurality of combustion nozzles;
- and a second cylindrical member extending between the front plate and the back plate, wherein the second premixed gas passage includes a second chamber formed by at least the front plate, the back plate, and an inner wall surface of the second cylindrical member, and
- wherein the pipe extends through the second chamber to the front plate,
- wherein the premix burner further comprises:
- a first cylindrical member disposed opposite to the second cylindrical member across the back plate;
- and
- a first chamber which is a part of the first premixed gas passage, the first chamber being formed by at least the first cylindrical member,
- wherein at least a part of the pipe is inserted in the first cylindrical member.
