본 발명에서는, 보일러 또는 내연 기관의 연소 챔버(BR) 내에서의 완전 연소를 개선할 수 있는 장치 및 방법이 제시된다. 이를 위해, 기체 상태의 연료/공기 혼합물 또는 이러한 혼합물 성분 중 하나를 상기 연소 챔버(BR) 내로 도입 전에 플라즈마 발생기(PG)를 이용해 적합한 농도의 라디칼 및 이온으로 농축하는 것이 제안된다. A device and a method for improving combustion are disclosed. In an embodiment the device includes a combustion chamber including at least one combustion chamber inlet for feeding in fuel or air or the fuel/air mixture, a reactor chamber connected upstream of the combustion chamber, the reactor chamber comprising a plasma generator, wherein the plasma generator is a piezoelectric transformer configured to operate with a low voltage and a control apparatus for the plasma generator, wherein the device is configured in such a way that even before a start of an actual combustion process at least one gaseous component in the reactor chamber is enriched with radicals and ions by the plasma generator.
