Abstract
A non-catalytic porous-phase combustor and process for generating radiant energy wherein the gas phase reaction and combustion take place within the pores of a multilayer porous plate to provide higher combustion intensity and to provide a greater proportion of heat released by radiation. The combustor comprises a porous plate having at least two discrete and contiguous layers, a first preheat layer comprising a material having a low inherent thermal conductivity and a second combustion layer comprising a material having a high inherent thermal conductivity and providing a radiating surface. Combustion intensities of about 400,000 to about 750,000 Btu/hr-ft.sup.2 may be achieved in the combustion layer of the porous phase combustor.
