**Glossary:** - Combustion chamber: a chamber in which fuel is burned to establish a self-supporting fire or flame and which surrounds that fire or flame - Burner: a device by which fluent or pulverised fuel is passed to a combustion space where it burns to produce a self-supporting flame. A burner includes means for feeding air that are arranged in immediate connections with a fuel feeding conduit, for example concentric with it. - Air: a mixture of gases containing free oxygen and able to promote or support combustion - Primary air: air supplied to the burning fuel, e.g. together with the fuel, in order to liberate combustible gases - Secondary air: air supplied to the combustible gases liberated by the primary air in order to complete their combustion. The expression "secondary air" covers "tertiary air" etc. - Combustion: the direct combustion of oxygen gas, e.g. in air, and a burnable substance - Combustion zone: the part of an apparatus where the reaction takes place between air and fuel
