Abstract
A plaque for a radiant heating system can include a main body defining an outer surface and a plurality of pores defined within the main body, wherein at least some of the plurality of pores are disposed in a non-parallel relationship with at least some others of the plurality of pores, or wherein at least some of the pores are parallel with each other. A burner assembly including a plurality of adjacently arranged plaques reduces the ignition time and delay for adjacent plaques after the central plaque has been ignited.
Claims7
A heating element for a radiant heating system comprising:
- a. a ceramic plaque forming a main body defining an inner surface and a curved outer surface, the curved outer surface having a radius about a center point passing through a longitudinal axis of the main body;
- and
- b. a plurality of pores extending through the main body between the inner surface and the outer surface, wherein a length of at least some of the plurality of pores are disposed in a parallel relationship with a length of at least some others of the plurality of pores, wherein some of the plurality of pores are disposed in a non-parallel relationship with at least some others of the plurality of pores.
A portable heater comprising:
- a. a housing assembly including a housing and a handle for transporting the housing;
- b. a burner located within the housing;
- and
- c. a heating element being located within the housing proximate the burner;
- the heating element including a ceramic plaque forming a main body defining an inner surface and a curved outer surface, the curved outer surface having a radius about a center point passing through a longitudinal axis of the main body, and a plurality of pores extending through the main body between the inner surface and the outer surface, wherein a length of at least some of the plurality of pores are disposed in a parallel relationship with a length of at least some others of the plurality of pores, wherein the pores have a diameter of about 1 millimeter.
