LIQUID FUEL COMBUSTION APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent diffusion of a flame upon spray combustion formed near a vaporizer, and reduce transfer time from the spray combustion to vaporization combustion. SOLUTION: A burner 10 is constructed with a combustion chamber outer cylinder 14 located outside, a combustion panel 15 provided inside the combustion chamber outer cylinder 14 and constituting a combustion chamber 22 for combusting a liquid fuel such as light oil, a downward opened vaporizer 16 provided substantially at the center in the combustion panel 15, an ignition device 20 provided near the vaporizer 16, and an air fan 12 for supplying air into the vaporizer 16. A gas chamber 25 is provided between the combustion chamber outer cylinder 14 and the combustion chamber 22, in which gas chamber 25 a baffleplate 28 is partly provided for arresting a flow substantially in the lateral direction when viewed in a flat plane of air A passing therethrough upon the spray combustion.
