Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A gas burning system comprising: (a) a premixing chamber for premixing pressurized air and a combustible gas, said chamber opening on at least one ceramic burner plate, said burner plate having an inner surface facing said chamber and an outer surface at which level combustion products are emitted; (b) an air intake for pressurized air; (c) means for supplying pressurized air to said air intake; (d) primary combustion air circuit means providing gas flow communication between said air intake and said premixing chamber for introducing a portion of pressurized air from said air intake into said premixing chamber; (e) means for introducing a combustible gas into said premixing chamber; and (f) secondary air circuit means providing gas flow communication between said air intake and the outer surface of said ceramic plate(s) for introducing a portion of pressurized air from said air intake to the outer surface of said ceramic plate(s).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
