A flame tube for a liquid fuel burner is disclosed. The liquid fuel burner includes a fuel atomizer directing atomized fuel into the flame tube and an igniter disposed within the flame tube to ignite the atomized fuel. The flame tube comprises an outer wall and an inner wall disposed about the outer wall to define an air passage therebetween. At a discharge end of the flame tube, the outer and inner walls are conjoined to form an annular surface, the annular surface being perforated. Preferably, the annular surface is perforated in an evenly distributed pattern.

1. A flame tube for a liquid fuel burner, the liquid fuel burner including a fuel atomizer directing atomized fuel along a path into a combustion chamber of the flame tube, and an igniter disposed within the combustion chamber to ignite the atomized fuel, wherein the flame tube comprises: an outer cylindrical wall; andan inner cylindrical wall disposed within the outer wall such that an air passage is defined between the outer and inner walls, the combustion chamber being formed within the inner wall, and the outer and inner walls are conjoined to form an annular surface at a discharge end of the flame tube combustion chamber, wherein the inner wall includes a plurality of apertures connecting the combustion chamber to the air passage, and the annular surface is perforated and forms an extreme end of the inner and outer walls, the inner wall and the apertures being configured to substantially combust all of the atomized fuel within the combustion chamber, such that air emerging from the perforated annular surface limits expansion of the emerging flame in a radial direction of the flame tube;wherein the apertures being configured to substantially combust all of the atomized fuel within the combustion chamber comprises: a first set of apertures configured to introduce swirling air into the combustion chamber;a second set of apertures, located downstream in the path from the first set of apertures, configured to introduce air into the combustion chamber that disrupts swirling induced by the first set of apertures; anda third set of apertures, located downstream in the path from the second set of apertures, disposed in a substantially radial configuration about an interior of the combustion chamber, and configured to introduce a last amount of air into the combustion chamber to complete combustion of the fuel and to shape any residual flame that emerges from the combustion chamber. 2. The flame tube of claim 1, wherein the annular surface is perforated in an evenly distributed pattern. 3. The flame tube of claim 1, wherein the annular surface is at least 10% perforated. 4. The flame tube of claim 1, wherein the annular surface is at least 20% perforated. 5. The flame tube of claim 1, wherein the annular surface is at least 30% perforated. 6. A flame tube for a liquid fuel burner, the liquid fuel burner including a fuel atomizer directing atomized fuel into a combustion chamber of the flame tube, and an igniter disposed within the combustion chamber to ignite the atomized fuel, wherein the flame tube comprises: an outer cylindrical wall; andan inner cylindrical wall disposed within the outer wall such that an air passage is defined between the outer and inner walls, the combustion chamber being formed within the inner wall, and the outer wall includes an annular inward curling lip forming a discharge end of the combustion chamber, wherein the inner wall includes a plurality of apertures connecting the combustion chamber to the air passage, and the inward curling lip is perforated, forms an extreme end of the outer wall, and the inner wall does not extend beyond the inward curling lip, the inner wall and the apertures being configured to substantially combust all of the atomized fuel within the combustion chamber, such that air emerging from the perforated inward curling lip limits expansion of the emerging flame in a radial direction of the flame tube;wherein the apertures being configured to substantially combust all of the atomized fuel within the combustion chamber comprises: a first set of apertures configured to introduce swirling air into the combustion chamber;a second set of apertures, located downstream in the path from the first set of apertures, configured to introduce air into the combustion chamber that disrupts swirling induced by the first set of apertures; anda third set of apertures, located downstream in the path from the second set of apertures, disposed in a substantially radial configuration about an interior of the combustion chamber, and configured to introduce a last amount of air into the combustion chamber to complete combustion of the fuel and to shape any residual flame that emerges from the combustion chamber. 7. The flame tube of claim 6, wherein the inward curling lip is perforated in an evenly distributed pattern. 8. The flame tube of claim 6, wherein the inward curling lip is at least 10% perforated. 9. The flame tube of claim 6, wherein the inward curling lip is at least 20% perforated. 10. The flame tube of claim 6, wherein the inward curling lip is at least 30% perforated.
