Katalytischer Brenner

The burner has equipment (1) to supply fuel and air, and has at least one catalyser (3). It also has wall components through which coolant can flow. The heat transmission from the first catalyser onto the wall components results mainly from radiation. The components may be separated from a first catalyser by a space (2) through which a mixture of fuel and air flows in the direction of the catalyser. They may also be separated from the first catalyser by a space (2a) through which a partly-burnt mixture of fuel and air flows in a direction which is largely not onto the wall component (5). USE/ADVANTAGE - Catalytic burner is designed to reduce emissions, and is simple to construct.
