An inspirator mixer, does not require a blower but does require high pressure gas,(can be dangerous) and is not very economical or efficient. The tip or nozzle is usually always a flame retention type tip. The reason this burner requires high pressure gas is that the gas needs to be moving at a high rate of speed in order to induce enough air for proper combustion. It is usually used for propane and in a situation where no electricity is available. If you have high pressure gas it is recommended that you use a regulator and switch to an aspirator mixer type system. 3, record 1, English, - inspirator%20mixer

Le brûleur dont il est question est conçu pour l'évaporation par rotation suivi de combustion du mélange combustible-air sur un porte-flamme cylindrique. Le combustible est acheminé vers la cuve du diffuseur par une pompe de dosage à oscillation modulable, forme un film d'huile sur le bord de cuve et s'évapore finalement sur une surface d'évaporation chauffée. 2, record 3, French, - diffuseur
