A burner and a method utilize a burner tile with an outer surface extending along the furnace wall and an inner surface defining a passageway. A fuel duct extends at least partially through the passageway and discharges fuel onto a burner head. The burner head forms a coanda-curved surface, wherein the fuel is directed onto the coanda-curved surface such that the fuel flows along the coanda-curved surface to the outer surface of the burner tile. There is an air channel defined by an outside edge of the coanda-curved surface and in fluid flow communication with the passageway such that air flows from the passageway through the channel to mix with the fuel so as to produce the combustible mixture.

Apparatus and method of heating and ventilating an enclosed area comprising a floor arranged as a number of floor zones. The method comprises providing a radiant heater spaced above each floor zone so as in use to direct heat downwards towards the floor; providing a ventilating air inlet spaced above at least part of each floor zone, the air inlet being at the same level as, or closer to, the floor than the radiant heater, the air inlet being arranged in use to draw-in a controllable quantity of air from outside of the enclosed area; providing a ventilating air outlet spaced above at least part of each floor zone, the air outlet being spaced further from the floor than the radiant heater and air inlet, the air outlet being arranged in use to extract a controllable quantity of air from inside of the enclosed area, wherein the method further comprises, for each floor zone, independently controlling the quantity of air being drawn in and extracted from said floor zone based on the sensed temperature inside and outside the enclosed space.

A radiant tube includes a conduit; and one or more heat transfer promoters disposed in the conduit, wherein the heat transfer promoter includes a body part on a center side of the conduit, and protruding parts protruding from the body part toward an inner wall surface of the conduit, the protruding parts are on an outer periphery of the body part to be arranged in a circumferential direction of the conduit, the protruding parts includes first protruding parts having a distal end portion facing the inner wall surface across a gap ΔL, and a second protruding part, the number of first protruding parts is greater than the number of second protruding parts, and a ratio (ΔL/Dt) of the gap ΔL to an equivalent diameter Dt of a conduit portion is x %, where the heat transfer promoter is disposed, and formula (1) is satisfied: 0.3%<x<7%.

A balanced high efficiency outdoor heater is provided to increase the heat radiation area, and to improve the stability of the structure. The heater includes a burner provided at an upper end of a standing column, a bottom base provided at a lower end of the standing column, and a beam is set between the burner and the standing column. The beam and the standing column are connected by pipe fittings. An ignition control device is equipped inside the base and is connected to the burner. An electrode rod and a thermocoupler are connected to the ignition control device under the burner. A first reflector is fixedly connected to the lower end of the burner and a gas valve is equipped in the bottom base. Compared with the prior art, the burner uses sintered felt and a heating surface of the burner faces upside down to improve thermal efficiency.

A gas induction heater and a gas induction heater and outdoor table connection system including a gas induction heater and an outdoor table are disclosed. The gas induction heater has an aluminum reflector, an infrared emanation screen, a protection fence, aglass tube, a heating portion, a pedestal, a fix plate and bolt assembly, a Quick Disconnect Device (QDD), a gas hose, a gas regulator, and fastening pieces. The QDD on the gas hose is intended to connect the gas valve to the gas regulator, such that an easy and safe connection of the gas line for users can be achieved. The gas induction heater is assembled on the outdoor table by utilizing an umbrella hole. Thus, two different applications can be achieved in one outdoor table.

The present disclosure seeks to provide a metallic burner tile for use in industrial processes such as cracking. The tile is substantially metallic (e.g. more than 80%) with the balance being ceramic coating on surfaces exposed to high temperature. The tile is lighter and more durable than the current ceramic burners.

A radiant tube heater with a burner assembly, a radiant tube assembly and a combustion air pre-heater, wherein the burner assembly comprises: a burner fuel nozzle; a plenum chamber and a pre-mixer chamber; the plenum chamber having a combustion air inlet; wherein in use: combustion air flows from said plenum chamber through an orifice to said pre-mixer where said air, is mixed with burner fuel entering said pre-mixer through said nozzle prior to being combusted at a burner head; said pre-mixer being at least partly located within said radiant tube assembly; and where in use at least part of the combustion air supplied to said plenum is preheated in said air pre-heater using residual sensible heat of the hot combustion gas products of the heater.
