Abstract
Abstract A combination gas and oil burner is disclosed for heating a radiant wall in a reforming furnace for petroleum refinery processes or the like to provide heat for radiation by the wall and in which oil, gas, or both fuels, may be employed, the burners being readily removable for inspection and maintenance, and in which operation can be effected with one fuel with the apparatus for the other fuel being removed without shutting down the operation, and with greater stability attained by surrounding the flame passageways with refractory faces.
