ABSTRACT:
This disclosure is directed to an oxy-hydrogen torch (10) comprised of a plate (16) captured between first and second outer members (12 and 14). Each outer member has a plenum (18) which open towards, and is separated by, the plate (16). The plate (16) has a plurality of groups (29, 30, 31) of spaced grooves (32--32) in one major surface (34). The groups of grooves (32--32) are arranged in an interleaved relationship with groups (29', 30', 31') of spaced grooves (36--36) on the opposite surface (38). The grooves (32 and 36) extend from one surface 46 of the plate (16) to the respective plenums (18--18) in the outer members (12 and 14). Each of the grooves (32 and 36) in a group are radially directed at a different point. Oxygen is directed into one plenum (18) and hydrogen urged into the other plenum. The gases pass through the respective grooves (32 and 36) to the surface (46) of the torch (10) for mixing and ignition.
