A burner having an elongate, generally tubular sheet metal body having an inlet end, a closed distal end and a tubular segment extending between the ends. The inlet end is formed to define a gas orifice holder which is adapted to mount a gas orifice element. The inlet end is further formed to define at least one primary air opening arranged to admit primary air from a source of primary air. Rows of flame ports are defined in the tubular segment and are arranged to create a desired predetermined flame pattern. When used as a fireplace burner the flame ports may be slot-like in construction and include tabs which determine the effective size of the ports. In a fireplace application, flame ports located below a crossover log, are eliminated and/or formed of reduced size, thus providing a flame of lower height and/or less intensity, thus substantially eliminating sooting. When used as a premix-type burner, a source of primary air under pressure is delivered to the inlet end of the burner and compensates for the restriction posed by the bluff structure, resulting in a blue flame.

Gas burner

A heating apparatus includes at least first and second burners located in a combustion chamber wherein the burners are separated by a divider for deterring uncombusted fuel flowing from a firing burner to an area adjacent to a non-firing burner. In another aspect of the present invention, the burners are used to heat water in a multiple staged heater.

Multiple stage heating apparatus

A gas cooking apparatus is disclosed having a gas combustion chamber with a single burner and a baffle enclosed therein. The baffle comprises a series of graduated restrictions designed to control the propagation of combustion gases through the combustion chamber. The baffle permits the use of a unique high power burner.

Gas cooking apparatus

A gas burner system in which a turbulator disk is arranged between a burner and an opening in a combustion chamber aligned with the burner. The turbulator disk defines a central port and a plurality of peripheral voids adjacent to the central port. A burner flame, produced by ignition of a gas-primary air mixture, together with a quantity of secondary air, may be directed through the central port of the turbulator disk into the combustion chamber. A additional quantity of secondary air may be directed through the voids into the combustion chamber for combustion of the uncombusted gas from the gas-primary air mixture.

Power gas burner system

A steam cooking device is described which contains a steam generating chamber having a heat exchanger therein. The heat exchanger is provided with baffles comprised of raised surface projections to create turbulent flow of flue gases through the heat exchanger which results in more efficient heating of the water in the steam generator chamber to create steam for use in cooking.

Steam generator heat exchanger for cooking equipment

An inshot gas burner nozzle having a flame retention insert that enhances flame stability and reduces noise, the insert comprising a central opening, secondary openings of smaller diameter arranged circularly around the central insert, and a plurality of restricted peripheral openings in the form of stepped notches. The nozzle further comprises plenum chambers which have restricted outlets thereby creating back pressure within the plenums to improve cross-ignition of adjacent nozzles.
