Combustion, heat-exchange and emitter device

Method for producing a combustion, heat-exchange and emitter device (10) comprising the steps:

• providing an emitter layer (1) having an outer surface (1.1) facing away from the combustion, heat-exchange and emitter device (10) and an inner surface (1.2);
• at least partially coating said inner surface (1.2) of the emitter layer (1) with a catalytic coating in order to provide for surface specific fuel combustion;
• providing said emitter layer (1) with a selective emitter (1.3) configured for emitting predominantly near-infrared radiation in the direction of said outer surface (1.1) when it is heated up to high temperatures via said inner surface (1.2);
• providing a pre-heat layer (4);
• joining said emitter layer (1) with the pre-heat layer (4) such as to define a combustion chamber (9) adjacent to the inner surface (1.2) of the emitter layer (1);
• providing a heat conduction layer (5) with a heat dissipating surface (5.1) and a heat absorbing surface (5.2);
• joining the pre-heat layer (4) and the heat conduction layer (5), such as to define a pre-heat chamber (15) in-between and thermally connect the pre-heat chamber (15) to said heat dissipating surface (5.1);
• providing a first flow-through passage (13.1) connecting the pre-heat chamber (15) with the combustion chamber (9);
• providing a heat conduction inhibition layer (7);
• joining said heat conduction inhibition layer (7) with the heat conduction layer (5) such as to define a heat recovery chamber (11) adjacent to said a heat absorbing surface (5.2);
• and
• providing a second flow-through passage (13.2) connecting the combustion chamber (9) and the heat recovery chamber (11),
• the heat recovery chamber (11) and the pre-heat chamber (15) being arranged and configured such that heat absorbed by the heat absorbing surface (5.2) is dissipated by the heat dissipating surface (5.1) such as to pre-heat a thermal energy carrier (fuel) within the pre-heat chamber (15).
