Method of operating a burner without using a fuel pump, and burner assembly operating in accordance with such method

摘要

This relates to a method of operating a burner under conditions of stoichiometric combustion, wherein liquid fuel and combustion air are combined in a essentially constant ratio within a mixing and atomizing chamber, whereby a negative pressure is produced within said chamber owing to the guiding and metering of the air, said negative pressure serving to draw in fuel into said chamber. Furthermore, the invention relates to a burner assembly for carrying out the method.
