Abstract

Bei einem Vormischbrenner, im wesentlichen bestehend aus einem Drallerzeuger (30) für einen Verbrennungsluftstrom (15), Mitteln (17, 17a, 17b, 31-38, 41-48) zur Einbringung von Brennstoff in den Verbrennungsluftstrom (15) und Lufteintrittsschlitzen (19, 20), tritt der Verbrennungsluftstrom (15) über Lufteintrittsschlitze in einen Drallraum (14) des Drallerzeugers (30) ein.
Die Eindüsung des Brennstoffes in die Verbrennungsluft erfolgt über die Eindüsungs-Mittel (17, 17a, 17b, 31-38, 41-48) asymmetrisch. Eines der Eindüsungsmittel (5) ist an einer in den Drallraum ragende Brennstofflanze (3) angeordnet.
