Abstract
A horizontal flame burner (30) is disclosed for heating a glass sheet furnace floor (22) to provide radiant heat within a furnace (10) heated thereby. The burner (30) includes a combustion air and fuel inlet (54) located beneath the floor (22). A vertical intermediate portion (56) extends upwardly from the inlet (54) into the floor (22) and a horizontally extending outlet (58) extends from the vertical intermediate portion (56) into a heating passage (28) extending horizontally between upper and lower floor surfaces (24,26). The combustion air and fuel are mixed and ignited within the horizontally extending outlet (58) to propagate a horizontally extending flame within heating passage (28) to heat furnace (10).
