Claim:
1. A burner comprising a central channel and at least one coaxial channel surrounding the central channel, the channels leading from an upstream supply side to a downstream discharge end, the central channel and the coaxial channel being defined by concentric inner and outer walls having free downstream outer ends profiled to define an annular slit forming a discharge end of the coaxial channel and converging towards an adjacent discharge end of the central channel, the burner being encased by a cooling jacket and comprising a double walled front face having an outer diameter, the double walls of the front face being spaced by one or more baffles defining a coolant flow path operatively connected to the cooling jacket wherein the cooling jacket has an upstream section having an outer diameter and transitional section having an outer diameter narrowing down from the outer diameter of the upstream section to the outer diameter of the front face, the outer diameter of the front face being smaller than the outer diameter of the upstream section of the cooling jacket; wherein the transitional section of the cooling jacket and the upstream part of the cooling jacket are attached to opposite sides of an interposed connection block having openings to allow flow-through through the channels and the coolant flow paths; wherein the coolant flow path upstream of the connection block comprises a non-spiral flow path; and wherein the transitional section comprises a non-spiral flow path upstream of the front face and a plurality of baffles defining a spiral flow path downstream of the front face, operatively connected to the coolant flow path defined by the baffles of the front face.
