Abstract This invention relates to a gas burner for mixing combustible industrial noxious fumes and vapors with gases and air for combustion in a furnace to thus reduce air pollution. The metal portions of the burner are constructed so that they will quickly burn out due to high temperatures within the furnace, and also so that these metal parts will be protected with a ceramic shield or blocks to prevent damage to the burners. My gas burner will materially reduce air pollution from industrial plants, packing houses, etc., which emit combustible and noxious vapors into the air, which can be readily burned when they are passed through a burner together with the natural gas and air which is burned in these devices.
A gas burner for fumes and the like as recited in claim 1 and consisting of a plurality of hollow bodies spaced apart, pipe sections extending between said bodies and providing a substantial opening between the pipe sections through which adjacent air and fumes pass to commingle with the air and fuel gas to permit combustion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
34 words
A gas burner for fumes and the like as recited in claim 1, a refractory block extending over the forward face of said body, and means detachably mounting said refractory block on the body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
A gas burner for fumes and the like as recited in claim 1 comprising horizontal refractory blocks between adjacent pairs of burner bodies, said last-named refractory blocks aligning the refractory blocks covering the forward face of the burner.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A gas burner for fumes and the like as recited in claim 1, a plurality of louvers adjacent said burners, and means pivotally mounting said louvers to permit adjustment thereof.
