Burner (12) for heating a boiler room (55) with reduction of
NOx emissions, comprising: a mixing and
combustion chamber (54); a mixing and ignition device (51) arranged in the mixing and
combustion chamber (54); a
fuel supply (50) which is connected to the mixing and ignition device (51) and is designed to supply fuel to the mixing and ignition device (51); an air supply with an air supply
pipe (30) delimiting the mixing and
combustion chamber (54), which is designed to supply a first partial air flow (L1) to the mixing and
combustion chamber (54); a
recuperator (40) at least partially surrounding the air supply
pipe (30), through which a second partial air flow (L2) is supplied to the mixing and
combustion chamber (54) via the air supply; a
combustion chamber opening (53) formed by the
recuperator (40), which opens the mixing and combustion chamber (54) to a heating room (55) to be heated; Control means (60) designed to control a fuel flow (B) via the
fuel supply (50) and to control at least the first partial air flow (L1) via the air supply, wherein the burner (12) and the control means (60) are designed to operate the burner (12) with a stable
flame (56) extending from the mixing and ignition device (51) through the combustion chamber opening (53) into the heating chamber (55); wherein the air supply
pipe (30) and the
recuperator (40) each form an associated through-hole (33, 43) at their free end pointing in an axial direction (Z), which are arranged coaxially, wherein the through-hole (43) of the recuperator (40) forms the combustion chamber opening (53) and at least one
air channel (39) through which the second partial air flow (L2) flows is formed between the recuperator (40) and the air supply pipe (30), which opens into the mixing and combustion chamber (54) between the through-hole (43) of the recuperator (40) and the through-hole (33) of the air supply pipe (30); characterized by the fact that the air supply pipe (30) forms a pipe extension (31) with an outer surface (32) tapering in the axial direction (z) towards the associated through hole (33) and the recuperator (40) forms a recuperator extension (41) with an inner surface (42) tapering in the axial direction (z) towards the associated through hole (43), wherein the pipe extension (31) and the recuperator extension (41) are arranged
interlocking.
