Abstract
A forced draft gas burning water and/or space heater having a screen type vertically extending tubular burner provided with a deflector plate supported transversely within the burner tube for free vertical sliding movement therein on a vertical extending guide rod mounted in the burner tube. At the outset of each heating cycle of the heater, the pressurized combustible gas/air mixture initially forced upwardly into the open lower end of the burner tube pushes the deflector plate upwardly therein along the guide rod and is deflected thereby laterally outward through the apertured screen wall of the burner tube into the bottom region of the combustion chamber of the heater to cause immediate ignition of the initial combustible gas/air mixture by the igniter means located within the combustion chamber and eliminate any sputtering ignition effect.
