Abstract
Abstract A self-aerating radiant gas burner assembly comprises a mixing chamber (1) closed except for an air inlet (3) into which is directed a gas injector jet (4), of 0.5 to 2.0 mm bore, to induce flow of air through the inlet, the chamber being surmounted by a radiant burner element of ceramic foam material of a porosity between 15 and 40 pores per linear 25 mm and a thickness between 8 and 30 mm, the dimensions within these ranges being selected for a specified gas and pressure range with the relationship that the lower the gas pressure the larger the jet size.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A self-aerating radiant gas burner assembly comprising a box base mixing chamber having an air inlet into which is directed a gas injector jet to induce flow of air through the inlet, the chamber being surmounted by a radiant burner element of ceramic foam material, the bore diameter of the gas injector jet being between 0.5 and 2.0 mm inclusive, the nominal porosity of the ceramic foam material being between 15 and 40 pores per linear 25 mm inclusive, the thickness of the burner foam material being between 8 and 30 mm inclusive and the dimensions within these ranges being selected for a specified gas and pressure range with the relationship that the lower the gas pressure the larger the jet size.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A self-aerating radiant gas burner assembly comprising a box base mixing chamber having an air inlet into which is directed a gas injector jet to induce flow of air through the inlet, the chamber being surmounted by a radiant burner element of ceramic foam material, the bore diameter of the gas injector jet being between 0.5 and 2.0 mm inclusive, the nominal porosity of the ceramic foam material being between 15 and 40 pores per linear 25 mm inclusive, the thickness of the burner foam material being between 8 and 30 mm inclusive and the dimensions within these ranges being selected for a specified gas and pressure range with the relationship that the lower the gas pressure the larger the jet size.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A self-aerating radiant gas burner assembly according to claim 1, in which the nominal porosity of the ceramic foam material is about 30 pores per linear 25 mm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
88 words
A self-aerating radiant gas burner assembly according to claim 1, in which the mixing chamber comprises a tray box of which the top is closed by the radiant burner element of ceramic foam material, with a flame trap below, and the gas injector is carried by an air-inlet bracket and is directed into the throat of a venturi tube which extends axially along the tray box and terminates with an open end beneath a distributor plate which baffles direct flow of gas/air mixture to the radiant burner element.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
88 words
A self-aerating radiant gas burner assembly according to claim 2, in which the mixing chamber comprises a tray box of which the top is closed by the radiant burner element of ceramic foam material, with a flame trap below, and the gas injector is carried by an air-inlet bracket and is directed into the throat of a venturi tube which extends axially along the tray box and terminates with an open end beneath a distributor plate which baffles direct flow of gas/air mixture to the radiant burner element.
