Injection nozzle 7 and electrode rods 8 and 9 (ignitor) are surrounded by double-cylinder flame stabilizer 10. Toroidal blocking plate 13 closes between inner and outer cylinders 11 and 12 of the stabilizer at its distal end whose proximal end is connected with line 15 for introducing combustion air 14 to between the cylinders. Inflow holes 16 are formed throughout the inner cylinder at its proximal end. Peripheral fins 17 are formed peripherally on the inner cylinder radially inwardly through cutting and bending-up at positions shifted from the inflow holes toward the distal end of the inner cylinder such that combustion air is introduced from circumferentially to form swirling flow inside the inner cylinder. End fins 18 are formed on the blocking plate in fuel injection direction through cutting and bending-up such that combustion air is discharged circumferentially to form swirling flow around flame 21.
A combustion appliance for raising the temperature of exhaust gas arranged in a bend of an exhaust pipe to raise the temperature of exhaust gas through burner combustion, characterized in that it comprises a fuel injection nozzle for injecting fuel downstream in a direction of flow of the exhaust gas in the bend of said exhaust pipe, an ignitor for igniting fuel mist injected from said fuel injection nozzle, a double-cylinder type flame stabilizer coaxially surrounding the injection nozzle and the ignitor about the injection nozzle, a toroidal blocking plate on a distal end of said stabilizer for closing between inner and outer cylinders of said stabilizer, a combustion air introduction line connected to a proximal end of said stabilizer for introducing combustion air to between said inner and outer cylinders, a plurality of combustion air inflow holes formed throughout a periphery of said inner cylinder at a proximal end thereof, a plurality of peripheral fins formed on the periphery of said inner cylinder radially inwardly through cutting and bending-up at positions shifted from said inflow holes toward the distal end of the inner cylinder such that the combustion air is introduced from circumferentially to form a swirling flow inside the inner cylinder and a plurality of end fins formed on said blocking plate in a direction of fuel injection through cutting and bending-up such that the combustion air is discharged circumferentially to form a swirling flow around flame blown out of said inner cylinder.
