Abstract
A deep fat fryer includes a plurality of open-ended burner tubes that are end-welded between opposing walls of the fry pot. A front heat shield is formed from a pair of steel sheets and is positioned between the wall of the fry pot and the burner so that the end weld is protected from the burner flame. Airflow is established over the end weld during operation of the burner. A rear heat shield is positioned in the rear of the burner tube and blocks the rear end weld from the hot combustion products. The spaces between the rear heat shield and the burner tube inner wall and the fry pot outer wall are filled with insulation.
