Abstract:
An appliance for burning a combustible gas, comprising:a relatively massive metal body forming a heat sink, in which there is formed a passage for a flow of the combustible gas, said flow passage including an inlet to which the combustible gas is fed in a liquid phase, and an outlet, from which the combustible gas is discharged in a gaseous phase;a control member for controlling a flow rate of the combustible gas flowing down said flow passage;a mixing member for mixing primary air in with a stream of the combustible gas in the gaseous phase, discharged from the outlet, in order to obtain a mixture that can be burned; andwherein, said control member comprises a pressure reducer, at least partially incorporated into said metal body and comprising an inlet chamber into which the combustible gas is admitted in the liquid phase at high pressure, a discharge chamber from which said gas is discharged at low pressure, at least partially in the gaseous phase, the inlet and discharge chambers being formed in said metal body, and a valve disposed between the inlet and discharge chambers, situated mainly within said metal body, andwherein the inlet chamber is immediately adjacent to the inlet of the flow passage.
