A combustion apparatus is fitted to the top of an oil burner having a single nozzle for the simultaneous introduction of oil and water by means of compressed air. The apparatus includes a combustion chamber defined by an inner vessel open at both ends with one end being fitted to the burner. An outer vessel is co-axially mounted on the inner vessel with both ends being secured to the corresponding ends of the inner vessel to form a preheating chamber between the inner and outer vessels. The inner vessel is provided with a plurality of holes and a baffle is located within the pre-heating chamber in overlying relation with respect to the holes. Pressurized air is introduced into the heating chamber, around the baffle, and through the holes into the interior of the vessel to compress the flame of the water-oil fuel emulsion forcing it to swirl and remain in the vessel so that the combustion takes place at a temperature between 700 DEG and 1,000 DEG C. |
