Abstract (en)

The burner has a gas outflow aperture pattern improving the penetration of secondary air to the apertures, as well as small round apertures (7) as auxiliary gas structure. The pattern has longitudinal rows of slots (6) alternating with shorter slots (8) or round apertures (7) (Fig. 3, 4), or so alternating in pairs (figure 5). Also transversely adjacent longitudinal rows have a phase shift such that no slots are directly successive in the transverse direction.
