A burner box assembly according to aspects of the disclosure includes an outer cover, the outer cover having a sloped bottom face that directs condensation away from a heat-exchange tube, a heat-resistant liner having a plurality of panel members, the heat-resistant liner being disposed within the outer cover, a shield disposed between the heat-resistant liner and the sloped bottom face of the outer cover such that an air gap is formed between the shield and the sloped bottom face, and a tubular member abutting at least one of the plurality of panel members and disposed within the heat-exchange tube.

Liner device, adapted to be mounted between a burner box and a tube interface plate of a furnace. The liner device includes a base section, one or more tube sections, and one or more angle fasteners. The base section includes a shielding layer formed from a first flexible mesh of flame-resistant fibers, the shielding layer defining a first surface that is configured to face the burner box, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a medial region with a through-hole forming a passageway through the shielding layer. The tube section is composed essentially of a second flexible mesh of flame-resistant fibers formed into a tubular shape that defines an internal channel around a nominal axis. A proximal end of the tube section is positioned at the base section, such that the channel opens into the through-hole and that the tube section projects from the second surface and in a direction faced by the second surface. The angle fastener has a base portion that is positioned along and fixed to the second surface of the shielding layer. The angle fastener further has a leg portion that projects towards the second direction and is positioned along and fixed to an outer surface of the tube section at or near the proximal end thereof.

A burner assembly according to aspects of the disclosure includes a burner surface carried by a burner, the burner surface extending outward from a front side of the burner, a housing coupled to the burner on a side opposite the front side of the burner, a gasket disposed between the burner and the housing, a thermally anisotropic protective covering located on the front side of the burner and surrounding a perimeter of the burner surface, and an igniter positioned adjacent to the burner surface.

Submerged combustion burners having a burner body, a burner tip connected thereto. Submerged combustion melters including the burners and methods of using them to produce molten glass. The burner body has an external conduit and first and second internal conduits substantially concentric therewith, forming first and second annuli for passing a cooling fluid therethrough. The burner tip body is connected to the burner body at ends of the external and second internal conduits. The burner tip includes a generally central flow passage for a combustible mixture, the flow passage defined by an inner wall of the burner tip. The burner tip includes a crown portion defining a circumferential concavity.

A door with a gas burner on an inner surface and a system for carrying a combustible gas to the burner on the outer surface thereof. The door comprises a pair of metal sheets rigidly connected to one another at the edges thereof, each sheet having input and output openings for the gas mixture that are mutually separated in order to leave an inner space receiving a deflector plate serving as a thermal shield to be swept over on either side by the flow of the gas mixture supplying the burner. This arrangement reduces heat loss through the door; thus, keeping the outer surface cold, avoiding the risk of burns, and preheating the gas mixture. The invention can be used in heating appliances.

A combustion device having a double-layer structure includes a main body, which is double layered, including an inner-layer wall and an outer-layer wall disposed outside of and spaced from the inner-layer wall such that the inner-layer wall and the outer-layer wall include a hollow disposed therebetween. The inner-layer wall forms a fuel receptacle with an opening. A wick has an end defining fuel-drawing end inserted into the fuel receptacle through the opening.

A robust, thermally and structurally sound burn pit flare tip structure is disclosed of refractory brick construction capable of resisting the high temperature of 1800° C. and associated fluctuations. The burn pit is capable of prolonged continuous operation and reduces the previously experienced downtime and frequent failures.

A cooling shield for a liquor injection pipe of a liquor gun for supplying liquor to a combustion chamber of a recovery boiler, which has a first and a second side edge, the side edges extending in a longitudinal direction (L) of the cooling shield, and a first end edge and a second end edge extending between the side edges, the cooling shield comprising an outside shield wall, and an inside shield wall, the outside shield wall and the inside shield wall being connected along the side edges of the cooling shield, the cooling shield comprising a cooling medium space being arranged between the outside shield wall and the inside shield wall, the cooling shield comprising a cooling medium inlet and a cooling medium outlet the cooling medium inlet and the cooling medium outlet being arranged in communication with the cooling medium space.
