This report dwells on the scientific study of the vortical device. The device is designed for
efficient combustion of fossil fuels. Oil-water emulsion was taken as an example of alternative fuel.
Although the functionality of the burner device is not limited to this fuel only. The innovative burner device
under investigation is based on principal of vortical motion of fuel air mixture. There is a precombustion
chamber specially designed, where inflammation and partial combustion of the swirling flow takes place.
The article describes experiment on defining the geometric dimensioning of the burner discharge nozzle in
relation to a combustion chamber. The position of the outlet nozzle inside of the burner is the main input
parameter of this research. The authors analyzed the influence of this parameter on the pressure inside the
combustion chamber and the electric load of the fan for the supplying combustion air. The position ranged
from 0 to 120%. The optimal position is at 50% of the total length of the burner chamber. The pressure
graph has an extremum in this position, and the electric energy consumption by the fan changes less
significantly with further deepening of the output nozzle than earlier. The Results are presented for cold (air
blowing only) and hot experiment (burning). This experiment proved the need for the design of the inner
part of the discharge nozzle, which is a design feature of the burner device for which the European patent
was obtained. The patent link is presented in the list of references.
