Abstract
A burner (1) for producing a flame for a heat generation system, comprising a fuel supply line (3) and at least one a comburent intake system operatively connected to the combustion head (2) for supplying a flow rate of fuel and a flow rate of comburent, respectively, to the burner (1). The burner (1) comprises a turbogas unit having an auxiliary combustion chamber (6) in which combustion takes place and for the generation and conveying, downstream, of a flow of flue gases; and a turbine (7) activated by the flue gases produced by the auxiliary combustion chamber (6). In particular, the turbine (7) is operatively active to contribute at least partially to the movement of the fuel in said comburent supply system (4).
Claims21
A heat generation system, comprising:
- a combustion chamber;
- a burner for producing a flame for a heat generation system comprising:
- a combustion head provided to generate a continuous flame at least when the burner is active and configured to be connected to a combustion chamber of the heat generation system;
- a fuel supply line and a comburent intake system operatively connected to said combustion head for supplying a flow rate of fuel and a flow rate of comburent, respectively, to said burner;
- an auxiliary combustion chamber of a gas turbine separate from said combustion head and configured for the combustion of a fuel and for the generation of a flow of flue gases;
- and
- a turbine activated by the flue gases produced by the auxiliary combustion chamber, and in that said turbine is operatively active for contributing at least partially to the movement of the comburent in said comburent intake system, wherein said turbine directs an output of a jet of exhaust gas towards said combustion head produced by said turbine;
- wherein said combustion head is inserted at least in part inside said combustion chamber so that the flame generated extends into said combustion chamber;
- said combustion chamber being defined by at least one of:
- a water boiler, vapour boiler, a furnace, and an incinerator.
