Abstract
A porous, ceramic member defines both the burner and baffle. Gaseous fuel is supplied under pressure into a chamber and flows through the ceramic member and, in flowing, causes the aspiration of atmospheric air into the flowing gaseous fuel. The air-fuel mixture is ignited a short distance downstream of the chamber and the flame flows through the ceramic member and emerges from the ceramic member within the heat exchanger. The air mixing with the gaseous fuel causes turbulence and mixing of the gas and cools the flame prior to its reaching temperatures associated with the generation of thermal NO.sub.x.
