Abstract
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a burner assembly. The burner assembly can comprise a tube that introduces a combustible fuel into a burner chamber, through an opening in a solid back wall plate. The burner chamber can be defined by the solid back wall plate, a solid front wall plate, and a side wall, where the side wall can comprise a mesh layer and/or a ridged porous layer. The fuel can be expelled from pores disposed in the side wall to the outer periphery of the burner's side wall in a substantially uniform manner, where combustion of the fuel can produce a relatively uniform, omni-directional flame at the outer surface of the burner's side wall.
Claims13
A burner assembly comprising:
- a front wall plate;
- at least one side wall, operably engaged with the front wall plate, and comprising:
- a mesh inner layer;
- and a metallic rigid porous outer layer;
- wherein the combination of the mesh layer and rigid porous layer provide vias between the inside of the side wall and the outside of the side wall, the area of the vias comprising between ten and thirty percent of the total surface area of the side wall;
- a back wall plate, operably engaged with the at least one side wall, and comprising a through-hole configured to receive a fuel;
- a burner chamber defined by a combination of the front wall plate, the at least one side wall, and the back wall plate, the combined mesh layer and rigid porous layer of the side wall providing for fuel to be expelled around an outer periphery of the side wall in a substantially uniform manner;
- and
- a fuel supply tube, operably engaged with the back wall plate, and configured to direct the fuel into the burner chamber.
