The various embodiments and example provided herein are generally directed to novel multiphase resonant converters. In an embodiment, a multiphase resonant converter comprises N unit resonant converters having inputs and outputs connected in parallel, respectively. Each unit converter comprises an inverter, a LLC series resonant tank, and a rectifier. In a preferred embodiment, the inverters of the N unit converters are driven by N drive signals phase-shifted 2π / N degrees apart. During operation, the current of the multiphase converter is shared among the unit converters, resulting in a smaller current in each unit converter. The smaller current in each unit converter reduces conduction losses, thereby increasing the efficiency of the multiphase converter. In addition, the smaller current in each unit converter reduces the amount of stress placed on individual components of the converter allowing for the use of lower tolerance components. Further, the multiphase converter has automatic current sharing ability.

In a method for the combustion of a fuel, a fuel or a premixed combustible mixture is introduced into a combustion space as a combustible fluid open jet. The velocity of the open jet is selected in such a way that it is impossible for a stable flame front to form, i.e. is in any event greater than the flame front velocity, and that, on account of a jet pump effect, flue gas is mixed into the combustible fluid jet from the combustion chamber in a jet-induced recirculation internally within the combustion chamber. The admixed flue gas dilutes and heats the combustible fluid. The heating causes the spontaneous ignition temperature to be exceeded, and a low-pollutant volumetric flame is formed in a highly dilute atmosphere.

Light load efficiency of a power factor correction circuit is improved by adaptive on-time control and providing for selection between a continuous conduction mode and a discontinuous conduction mode wherein the discontinuous conduction mode increases time between switching pulses controlling connection of a cyclically varying voltage to a filter / inductor that delivers a desired DC voltage and thus can greatly reduce the switching frequency at light loads where switching frequency related losses dominate efficiency. The mode for controlling switching is preferably selected for each switching pulse within a half cycle of the cyclically varying input voltage. A multi-phase embodiment allows cancellation of EMI noise at harmonics of the switching frequency and adaptive change of phase angle allows for cancellation of dominant higher order harmonics as switching frequency is reduced.
