Abstract
The disclosure relates to a gas-heated infrared radiation emitter comprising at least one radiating screen, which is for example made of ceramic and/or metal, in the form of at least one plate comprising a lower main surface and an upper main surface that are distant from each other, and a plurality of through-prisms, which are preferably hollow, extending from the lower main surface to the upper main surface, each prism being defined by a polygonal base and by an axis. The prisms may be juxtaposed with one another so that their polygonal bases form a tiling of at least one portion of the lower and upper main surfaces of said plate.

A gas-heated infrared radiation emitter comprising at least one radiating screen in the form of at least one plate comprising:
- a lower main surface and an upper main surface that are distant from each other,
- a plurality of through-prisms extending from the lower main surface to the upper main surface, each through-prism of the plurality of through-prisms being defined by a polygonal base and by an axis, and
- a burner plate, said burner plate acting as combustion surface, said screen in the form of at least one plate being positioned on the combustion surface side of said burner plate,
- wherein the plurality of through-prisms are juxtaposed with one another so that their polygonal bases form a tiling of at least one portion of the lower and upper main surfaces of said plate,
- wherein each through-prism of the plurality of through-prisms has a form factor greater than 3, and
- wherein said plate comprises silicon carbide infiltrated with silicon.
