Abstract
A gas burner assembly includes an elongated burner and a round burner positioned at a middle portion of the elongated burner. The elongated burner defines a plurality of flame ports adjacent a first end portion of the elongated burner. Flame ports of the plurality of flame ports that are positioned on a pair of parallel linear segments of the elongated burner have a first total port area, and flame ports of the plurality of flame ports that are positioned on an arcuate segment of the elongated burner have a second total port area. The second total port area is greater than the first total port area.
Claims19
A gas burner assembly, comprising:
- an elongated burner extending between a first end portion and a second end portion, the elongated burner defining a first plurality of flame ports adjacent the first end portion of the elongated burner and a second plurality of flame ports adjacent the second end portion of the elongated burner, the first plurality of flame ports distributed along a pair of parallel linear segments of the elongated burner and an arcuate segment of the elongated burner that extends between the linear segments of the pair of linear segments, the flame ports of the first plurality of flame ports on the pair of parallel linear segments having a first total port area, the flame ports of the first plurality of flame ports on the arcuate segment having a second total port area, the second total port area being greater than the first total port area;
- and
- a round burner positioned at a middle portion of the elongated burner.
A gas burner assembly, comprising:
- a round burner;
- an elongated burner having a first elongated burner portion and a second elongated burner positioned opposite each other about the round burner, the first elongated burner portion having a pair of linear edges and an arcuate edge that extends between the linear edges of the pair of linear edges, the first elongated burner portion also defining a first plurality of flame ports distributed along the pair of linear edges and the arcuate edge, the flame ports of the first plurality of flame ports positioned at the pair of linear edges having a first total port area, the flame ports of the first plurality of flame ports positioned at the arcuate edge having a second total port area, the second total port area being greater than the first total port area.
