The world of burners
1. Early burner generation
A burner is a thermal energy device that converts chemical energy into heat and controls and regulates the fuel combustion conversion process. The world's first applicable burners date back to the 19th century and were produced with the use of gas as an industrial fuel. In the middle of the 19th century, air or steam was reacted with coal, coke or charcoal at a high temperature to produce a low-calorie artificial gas. The main combustible components of this artificial gas are carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and others such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen are high. . In order to solve the problem of artificial gas combustion in production and life, the following simple burners or burners have been used:

After the mid-19th century, the invention of internal combustion engines and the development of thermal power plants, as well as the improvement of drilling technology, oil and natural gas have been widely used, providing a solid foundation for the application of liquid and gaseous fuels.
2.Modern burner industry formation
In the 20th century, oil and natural gas were widely used as fuels, and burners were developed as never before. Internationally, there have been well-known burner companies such as the Hamworthy combustion engineering company, the German Saacke burner Co., Ltd., the Max Weishaupt Gmbh, German. and the S.T. Johnson Company.
In the middle and late 20th century (after 1950), the oil industry achieved unprecedented growth. Oil and natural gas replaced coal as the world's main fuel. The change in fuel structure also gave birth to the great development of the burner market. The old brand burner company continued. Dominating the industry. At the same time, foreign companies such as Finland Oilon, Italy Baltur, Italy Riello, Germany Elco, Italy Ecoflam, Italy Ebico, US POWER FLAME and other professional businesses and brands have emerged. These brand products cover almost all users around the world. With the development of burners, well-known burner suppliers such as SIEMENS, DUNGS, HONEYWELL, KROMSCHRODER, LAMTEC and AUTFLAME have emerged.
