Burner

摘要

A burner suitable for use in a ground flare has a fuel gas supply pipe shaped to have a low resistance to upward air flow. The fuel gas supply pipe has one or more outlets in its upper surface which direct fuel gas onto adjacent plates to cause spreading and mixing of the fuel gas with aspirated air. The plates have a top edge adapted to give flame retention. The central portion of the upper edge of the plate is inclined into a substantially horizontal position towards the fuel gas outlet and the outer portions of the plate are inclined in the direction away from the fuel gas outlet.
