Patent ID: 10858278

Abstract:
Submerged combustion burners having a burner body and a burner tip connected thereto. The burner body has an external conduit and first and second internal conduits substantially concentric therewith, forming first and second annuli for passing a cooling fluid therethrough. The burner includes a generally central flow passage for a combustible mixture, the flow passage partially defined by an inner wall of the burner tip. The burner tip has an outer wall and crown connecting the inner and outer walls. The inner and outer walls and crown comprise materials having greater corrosion and/or fatigue resistance than the burner external conduit. The burner tip is connected to the burner body by inner and outer connections, at least one of which includes members interference fit to the burner tip and burner body, the members welded, soldered, or brazed together, in certain instances by fiber laser welding.
