CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims priority of U.S. Application No. 60/713533, filed on Sep. 1, 2005, which patent application is fully incorporated herein by reference. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates fuel burners, for example, fuel burners for use during various material processing procedures. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Conventional burners are frequently used to heat objects for processing materials. When carrying out the process, the burner must be effective to apply heat while maintaining sufficient clearance to avoid contamination of the material and/or burner. There is a continuing need for functional burner designs that operate to transfer heat during various material processing procedures. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] In accordance with one aspect, a fuel burner comprises a body including at least one burner port. The body is fabricated from a material having a thermal conductivity greater than about 80 W/mK. The fuel burner further comprises a fluid coolant system for removing heat from the body. The fuel burner is capable of producing a flame having a temperature of at least about 2000.degree. C. [0005] In accordance with another aspect, a fuel burner comprises a body including a cavity and at least one burner port in communication with the cavity. The fuel burner includes an apparatus positioned in the cavity and adapted to prevent flashback through the at least one burner port. The fuel mixture is adapted to pass through the apparatus, the cavity and the at least one burner port in use. [0006] In accordance with still another aspect, a fuel burner comprises a body including a cavity and at least one burner port in communication with the cavity. The fuel burner further includes a mixing device positioned in the cavity and adapted to mix a fuel and oxidizer prior to flowing through the at least one burner port. The mixing device defines a fluid path having a plurality of angular turns. [0007] In accordance with yet another aspect, a fuel burner comprises a body including a cavity and at least one burner port in communication with the cavity. The body is fabricated from a material having a thermal conductivity greater than about 80 W/mK. The fuel burner further includes an apparatus positioned in the cavity and adapted to prevent flashback through the at least one burner port. The fuel burner further comprises a fluid coolant system adapted to remove heat from the body. The fluid coolant system is adapted to prevent the body from melting in use. [0008] In accordance with a further aspect, a fuel burner comprises a body including a cavity and a plurality of burner ports in communication with the cavity. The body is fabricated from a material having a thermal conductivity greater than about 80 W/mK. The fuel burner further includes a mixing device positioned in the cavity and adapted to mix a fuel and oxidizer prior to flowing through the plurality of burner ports. The mixing device defines a fluid path having a plurality of angular turns. A fluid coolant system is also provided for removing heat from the body. The fuel burner is capable of producing a flame having a temperature of at least about 2000.degree. C. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fuel burner in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention with portions broken away to depict interior portions of the fuel burner. [0010] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary fluid coolant path for the burner of FIG. 1. [0011] FIG. 3 is a top view of the fuel burner of FIG. 1. [0012] FIG. 4A is a sectional view along line 4A-4A of FIG. 3. [0013] FIG. 4B is a sectional view along line 4B-4B of FIG. 3. [0014] FIG. 5 is a sectional view along line 5-5 of FIG. 3. [0015] FIG. 6 is a sectional view along line 6-6 of FIG. 3. [0016] FIG. 7 is an exploded view of the fuel burner of FIG. 1. [0017] FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a fuel burner in accordance with another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. [0018] FIG. 9 is an exploded view of the fuel burner of FIG. 8. [0019] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a fuel burner in accordance with another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Continue reading...
