Abstract
The improvement of the present invention is directed to an endplate which is disposed at the end of a gaseous fuel burner body forming the flame-containing space. Such endplate has a portion which extends substantially above the top edge of the mixing plates. The endplate may have lateral sides which extend beyond the lateral extent of the endplate body to shield and protect the apertures disposed within the longitudinal extent of the mixing plates also to shield the flame on the lateral sides of the mixing plates disposed near the endplate. The endplate improvement of the present invention serves to substantially reduce secondary air from chilling the flame near the end of the burner, and thereby substantially reducing the formation of carbon monoxide, which is formed preferentially to carbon dioxide in reduced temperature flames.
