Abstract
There is described a porous ceramic reactor which is used in a heating system. The combustion of fuel occurs on the outer surface of the reactor. The outer surface has a plurality of indentations that break up the surface continuity. As a consequence, the scaling and cracking that occurs due to differential expansion and contraction is minimized. Alternatively, the surface continuity can be broken up by means of a wide mesh metal screen that is in contact with the surface thereby creating thermal continuities that minimize scaling.
