Title: Coal burner

Abstract: A burner for use in a vapor generator having an outlet feeding the combustion zone of the generator with a mixture of fuel and air in a controlled turbulent flow. The housing for the burner has a relatively small diameter so that a relatively small amount of primary air is sufficient to carry the fuel to the burner nozzle. At least one atomizer is fitted in an opening of the burner housing for introducing atomizing air in a generally tangential direction relative to the axial flow of the fuel. The air creates turbulence so as to swirl the fuel and distribute same in a controlled manner to provide for even burning of the fuel in the combustion zone.
