Abstract:
A submerged combustion melter and burner therefor. The burner may include a first tube having a scaled distal end and a second tube concentric to the first tube, the second tube having a partially sealed distal end with an opening for receiving the first tube, where an annular space is defined between the first and second tubes. The burner further includes a first gas port in the sealed distal end of the first tube, the first gas port supplying a first gas, a second gas port in a distal end of the second tube, the second gas port supplying a second gas to the annular space, and a nozzle on the proximate ends of the first and second tubes. The nozzle provides N first gas outlets and M second gas outlets where the N first gas outlets supply either the first or the second gas into a molten glass environment external the burner, and the M second gas outlets supply either the second or the first gas into the molten glass environment external the burner to thereby mix and combust the first and second gases together in the molten glass environment.
