An inward-firing combustion burner, includes a burner casing configured to receive a fuel-air mixture at a burner inlet and to provide hot combustion gas at a burner output, a combustion substrate disposed within the burner casing, the substrate having a shape comprising at least a semi-cone or a flat surface, having a substrate porosity defined by a plurality of pores, and having a substrate inner surface and a substrate outer surface, the substrate configured to receive the fuel-air mixture at the outer surface of the substrate, the fuel-air mixture passing through the pores at a mixture flow rate from the substrate outer surface toward the substrate inner surface, and the burner configured such that, in operation, the fuel-air mixture ignites near the plurality of pores to form a respective plurality of flamelets, each flamelet corresponding to one of the pores.

A plaque for a radiant heating system can include a main body defining an outer surface and a plurality of pores defined within the main body, wherein at least some of the plurality of pores are disposed in a non-parallel relationship with at least some others of the plurality of pores, or wherein at least some of the pores are parallel with each other. A burner assembly including a plurality of adjacently arranged plaques reduces the ignition time and delay for adjacent plaques after the central plaque has been ignited.

An incinerating container for grills and similar broilers. The incinerating container receives products of combustion from a gas burner or hot gases from an electric element or other heat source. Apertures in a top of the incinerating container receive oil into the incinerating container, such as oils from melted fat as food cooks. The oils are incinerated within the incinerating container. The apertures formed in the top allow hot oils to enter the incinerating container for combustion of the oils within the incinerating container, and are constructed to prevent flames from materially exiting the incinerating container.

A domestic cooking appliance for heating a food item includes a main housing; a cooking compartment in the main housing, the cooking compartment being configured to receive the food item to be heated; a shelf located in the cooking compartment and configured to support the food item to be heated; a gas burner configured to provide heat to the cooking compartment; and a perforated panel located between the gas burner and the shelf, the perforated panel having a plurality of openings.

A combustion device includes a first cover, a second cover, an infrared generating mesh, and a gas burner assembly, wherein the first cover has a plurality of through holes. A first half portion of the second cover has at least one hollow portion. A second half portion of the second cover is closed. The infrared generating mesh is disposed between the first cover and the second cover. A flame outlet of the gas burner assembly is located within a projection area of the second half portion. In this way, the intensity of the infrared rays generated by the combustion device could be increased and could be uniform.

A gas furnace includes a mixing pipe through which a mixture formed by mixing fuel gas and air flows; a burner assembly that generates combustion gas by burning the mixture that passed through the mixing pipe; and a heat exchanger through which the combustion gas flows. In this case, the burner assembly includes a burner in which flame generated when the mixture is burned is seated; and a mixing chamber that mediates delivery of the mixture from the mixing pipe to the burner, thereby significantly reducing NOx emission.

A catalytic flameless combustion apparatus has a fuel inlet, a combustion-supporting gas inlet, a gas premixer, a combustion plate, an igniter, a gas deflector, a flameless combustion cavity, a catalyst filled in the flameless combustion cavity, a gas collection chamber and an exhaust port. The method for starting the catalytic flameless combustion apparatus includes initially combusting and heating the flameless combustion cavity and the catalyst filled therein with low power flame; and then increasing flow velocity and switching to high power flame for conducting catalytic flameless combustion. The catalytic flameless combustion apparatus can be used for various non-solid fuel combustion and heat extraction processes.

The present invention relates to a smoke tube boiler including: a mix chamber which includes a mixing space in which combustion gas and air are mixed, a mix chamber body having a flat shape, and a flat plate-shaped burner disposed in a horizontal direction above a combustion chamber; and a heat exchanger which includes an outer shell forming an outer wall of a water tank into and from which a heat medium is introduced and discharged and which accommodates the heat medium, a plurality of tubes formed in a flat shape that are configured to allow combustion gas generated in the combustion chamber to flow therein and cause a heat exchange to occur between the combustion gas and the heat medium flowing outside the tubes, turbulators coupled to an inner side of the tube and configured to induce occurrence of a turbulent flow in the flow of the combustion gas, and multi-stage barriers disposed between the outer shell and the tube and configured to induce a heat medium flow direction to be alternately changed between a radially inward direction and a radially outward direction.

A combustion system such as a furnace or boiler includes a non-planar perforated flame holder configured to hold a combustion reaction.
