Abstract

A glycerin burning system having a specialized atomizing burner capable of combusting a continuous feed of crude or pure glycerin. The burner preferably includes an impingement nozzle. The nozzle has an internal distributor which mixes two fluid feed streams (glycerin and air) and expels the fluid through an orifice. The distributor has channels which cause the air to swirl before mixing with the glycerin. An impingement pin is provided outside the orifice. The rapidly ejected glycerin/air mixture strikes a target surface on the impingement pin which transforms the mixture into a fine mist having a reduced velocity. The nozzle is located on the central axis of a turbulator which surrounds the atomized spray with rapidly revolving air. An outlet choke is provided on the combustion chamber to limit the speed of the flow so that steady combustion is maintained.
