- 6. The burner according to claim 1, further comprising a first reinforcement mounted around the tubular element, a second reinforcement mounted on the tap-hole block, and a second quick mounting means for connecting the first and second reinforcements.
- 7. The burner according to claim 6, wherein the second quick mounting means includes at least one swinging threaded tie rod.
- 8. The burner according to claim 1, wherein the injection pipe projects axially from the tubular element.
- 9. A glass furnace comprising:
- a tap-hole block made of a refractory material, the tap-hole block defining a burner cavity;
- a burner body mounted on the tap-hole block, the burner including a tubular element;
- at least one internal injection pipe for injecting a fuel from a downstream end thereof, fastened at a first end to a supporting structure, the length of the internal injection pipe being such that the downstream end thereof lies beyond a downstream portion of the burner body;
- spacing and centering means provided at a second end of the internal injection pipe; and
- quick mounting means for quickly mounting the supporting structure of the internal injection pipe on the tubular element of the burner body.
- 10. The glass furnace according to claim 9, wherein the burner body is attached to a supply of gaseous oxidizing agent containing at least 90% oxygen.
- 11. The glass furnace according to claim 10, wherein the gaseous oxidizing agent is provided by an air separation unit operating by adsorption.
- 12. The burner according to claim 9, wherein the supporting structure includes a plate which is penetrated by the internal injection pipe and is mounted on an annular flange at a rear end of the tubular element of the burner body.
- 13. The burner according to claim 9, wherein the at least one internal injection pipe comprises two parallel injection pipes.
- 14. The burner according to claim 13, further comprising second spacing mean between second ends of the parallel injection pipes.
- 15. The burner according to claim 9, further comprising a first reinforcement mounted around the tubular element, a second reinforcement mounted on the tap-hole block, and a second quick mounting means for connecting the first and second reinforcements.
- 16. The burner according to claim 15, wherein the second quick mounting means includes at least one swinging threaded tie rod.
- 17. The burner according to claim 9, wherein the injection pipe projects axially from the tubular element into the burner cavity.
- 18. A burner comprising:
- a burner body adapted to be mounted on a tap-hole block made of a refractory material, the tap-hole block defining a burner cavity, the burner body including a tubular element;
- at least one internal injection pipe for injecting a fuel from a downstream end thereof, fastened at a first end to a supporting structure wherein said support structure includes a handle for handling the internal injection pipe, the length of the internal injection pipe being such that the downstream end thereof lies beyond a downstream portion of the burner body;
- spacing and centering means provided at a second end of the internal injection pipe; and
- quick mounting means for quickly mounting the supporting structure of the internal injection pipe on the tubular element of the burner body.
- 19. A glass furnace comprising:
- a tap-hole block made of a refractory material, the tap-hole block defining a burner cavity;
- a burner body mounted on the tap-hole block, the burner including a tubular element;
- at least one internal injection pipe for injecting a fuel from a downstream end thereof, fastened at a first end to a supporting structure wherein said support structure includes a handle for handling the internal injection pipe, the length of the internal injection pipe being such that the downstream end thereof lies beyond a downstream portion of the burner body;
- spacing and centering means provided at a second end of the internal injection pipe; and
- quick mounting means for quickly mounting the supporting structure of the internal injection pipe on the tubular element of the burner body.
