Abstract
A radiant tube burner mixes liquid fuel and/or gaseous fuel with air for combustion in a radiant tube to produce a quiet and stable luminous flame through the entire length of the radiant tube. A flame holding plate is positioned within the radiant tube to define a feed zone and a combustion zone. A liquid fuel nozzle positioned centrally in the plate directs fuel through the plate and into the combustion zone. The plate defines a series of apertures circumscribing the nozzle and another passage outward from the series of openings and concentric therewith. Combustion air is proportioned and admitted to the combustion zone through the series of openings and the passage. Gaseous fuel may be admitted to the combustion zone through the series of openings.
