Dans le brûleur atmosphérique, le débit du gaz sous pression entraîne l'air comburant nécessaire à la combustion. La partie d’air ainsi induite est appelée air primaire, le complément air secondaire s’ajoute naturellement dans le foyer. Les brûleurs atmosphériques équipent les chaudières dites atmosphériques et sont plus silencieux que les brûleurs à air soufflé ou à gaz soufflé. 4, record 4, French, - br%C3%BBleur%20atmosph%C3%A9rique
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Brûleurs à prémélange à gaz seul sous pression. Un brûleur à induction d’air atmosphérique est constitué par l’assemblage d’un mélangeur de gaz et d’air, utilisant l’énergie cinétique d’un jet de gaz issu d’un injecteur pour aspirer l’air ambiant et réaliser un mélange inflammable, et d’une tête de brûleur assurant la combustion stable du mélange air-gaz. Du point de vue de l’utilisateur industriel, la caractéristique principale de ces brûleurs tient à l’absence du ventilateur et des organes mécaniques d’asservissement du débit d’air au débit de gaz, nécessaires sur les brûleurs à air soufflé. 3, record 4, French, - br%C3%BBleur%20atmosph%C3%A9rique
