A burner for an exhaust aftertreatment system is provided that includes a nozzle assembly having a body and a heating element. The body may include first and second cavities, a fuel inlet passage and an air inlet passage. The first cavity may receive portion of the heating element and may be in fluid communication with the fuel inlet passage and a fuel discharge passage such that fuel from the fuel inlet passage is heated in the first cavity by the heating element and discharged from the first cavity through the fuel discharge passage. The second cavity may be in fluid communication with the air inlet passage and an air discharge passage. The first and second cavities may be fluidly isolated from each other and may supply fuel and air, respectively, to an exit aperture disposed downstream of the fuel discharge aperture and the air discharge aperture.

1. A burner for an exhaust aftertreatment system comprising: a housing defining an interior volume; anda nozzle assembly mounted to the housing and including a body and a heating element, the body extending into the interior volume and including first and second cavities, a fuel inlet passage and an air inlet passage, the first cavity receiving at least a portion of the heating element and being in fluid communication with the fuel inlet passage and a fuel discharge passage such that fuel from the fuel inlet passage is heated in the first cavity by the heating element and discharged from the first cavity through the fuel discharge passage, the second cavity being in fluid communication with the air inlet passage and an air discharge passage, the body including a tapered portion defining a tapered fuel flow path upstream of the fuel discharge passage, the tapered portion defining a tapered air flow path upstream of the air discharge passage, the first and second cavities being fluidly isolated from each other and supplying fuel and air, respectively, to an exit aperture disposed downstream of the fuel discharge aperture and the air discharge aperture, the fuel and air are combined downstream of the fuel discharge passage and downstream of the air discharge passage. 2. The burner of claim 1, wherein the second cavity is an annular cavity that surrounds at least a portion of the first cavity. 3. The burner of claim 1, wherein an inner surface of the first cavity cooperates with the heating element to form an annular fuel passageway therebetween. 4. The burner of claim 1, wherein the heating element includes a glow plug. 5. The burner of claim 1, wherein the heating element is operable in a cleaning mode in which the heating element is operated at a temperature that is sufficient to burn combustion deposits off of the body of the nozzle assembly. 6. The burner of claim 1, wherein the heating element is operable in an auto-ignition mode in which the heating element is operated at a temperature that is sufficient to heat fuel in the first cavity to a temperature at which the fuel auto-ignites when combined with air downstream of the fuel and air discharge apertures. 7. The burner of claim 1, wherein the second cavity is in fluid communication with a plurality of air discharge apertures arranged in a circular array. 8. A burner for an exhaust aftertreatment system comprising: a housing defining an interior volume; anda nozzle assembly mounted to the housing and including a body and a heating element, the body extending into the interior volume and including first and second cavities, a fuel inlet passage and an air inlet passage, the first cavity receiving at least a portion of the heating element and being in fluid communication with the fuel inlet passage and a fuel discharge passage such that fuel from the fuel inlet passage is heated in the first cavity by the heating element and discharged from the first cavity through the fuel discharge passage, the second cavity being in fluid communication with the air inlet passage and an air discharge passage, the first and second cavities being fluidly isolated from each other and supplying fuel and air, respectively, to an exit aperture disposed downstream of the fuel discharge aperture and the air discharge aperture,wherein the body of the nozzle assembly includes a main body portion, an outer nozzle body and an inner nozzle body, the main body portion including a central aperture and a recess, the heating element being fixedly received in the recess, the inner nozzle body being fixedly received in the central aperture, and wherein the first cavity is formed in the inner nozzle body and is in fluid communication with the recess. 9. The burner of claim 8, wherein the inner nozzle body is received in the outer nozzle body such that the inner nozzle body and the outer nozzle body cooperate to form the second cavity. 10. The burner of claim 9, wherein the fuel discharge aperture and the air discharge apertures are formed in a head portion of the inner nozzle body. 11. The burner of claim 10, wherein the nozzle assembly includes a cap member at least partially received in the outer nozzle body and retaining the inner nozzle body relative to the outer nozzle body, and wherein the exit aperture is formed in the cap member. 12. The burner of claim 11, wherein the fuel inlet passage and the air inlet passage are formed in the main body portion. 13. The burner of claim 12, wherein the outer nozzle body is received in another recess in the main body portion.
