Abstract
A burner includes a generally cylindrical casing (1) and a burner head (2) mounted within the casing, the burner head including one or more vanes (9) rotatably mounted on the head and rotatable about the head to sweep through a region between the burner head (2) and the casing (1). The vanes (9) each include one or more gas outlets for introducing gas into an air flow through the region.
Claims1
A method of operating a burner, in which air flows through a region between a burner head and a casing and one or more vanes rotate about the head, sweeping through the region between the burner head and the easing, and gas flows out through one or more outlets in the one or more vanes, wherein the one or more vanes are drivingly rotated by a drive means that comprises an electric motor, and the speed of the drive means is controlled by a speed control, in which the one or more vanes are drivingly rotated at a speed that is varied as the speed of the air flow between the burner head and the casing varies.
