Abstract
A flow divider for use in a gas burner assembly supported in an opening in a furnace wall has injected fluid, such as gas and/or air, flowing through an inner burner pipe then outwardly through a plurality of openings for burning along the surface of a wall thus providing a near uniform radiant heat energy to the furnace. The flow divider has a plurality of nested members and a plurality of in-line members to divide the flowing gas and/or air to improve distribution and to promote more uniform mixing of the gas and air.
