Abstract
The invention concerns a burner-type apparatus designed to facilitate fuel gas combustion in the atmosphere, comprising a combustion zone (1) supplied with at least a fuel gas through at least a tube (2) for burning gas intake. The invention is characterized in that the tube (2) end is enclosed with a plurality of elements (3) arranged around the latter each consisting of a venturi and motive fluid supply, and designed to increase the quantity of air in the combustion zone.
Claims17
Gas flare-type equipment to facilitate the combustion of combustible gases in the atmosphere, containing a combustion zone (1) fed by at least one input tube (2) of combustion gas to be burned, an end of said tube being surrounded by a multiplicity of devices (3) arranged around said end and each device of said multiplicity of devices (3) composed of a venturi (5) and a fluid motive feed (4), wherein:
- each device of said multiplicity of devices (3) includes a multiplicity of tubes (10) arranged in an essentially annular shape around an axis AA of the venturi (5);
- and
- said multiplicity of tubes (10), that injects the motive fluid in the venturi (5), diverge from one another by forming an angle with the axis AA of the venturi (5) greater than 3°.
