Abstract
The present invention is a gas burner having a mixture plenum that receives a gas air mixture. A port plenum is positioned above the mixture plenum. The port plenum comprises a plurality of ports for combustion of the gas air mixture. A quenching plate is positioned between the mixture plenum and the port plenum to separate the mixture plenum from the port plenum. The quenching plate comprises a plurality of apertures. The gas air mixture flows through the plurality of apertures and from the mixture plenum to the port plenum. The plenum, quenching plate and apertures retard back flow and auto ignition, and the quenching plate will quench a flame in the event of back flow.
Claims18
A gas burner, comprising:
- a mixture plenum constructed and arranged to receive a gas air mixture;
- a port plenum positioned above the mixture plenum, the port plenum comprising a plurality of ports constructed and arranged to discharge the gas air mixture for combustion;
- a quenching plate positioned between and separating the mixture plenum and the port plenum, the quenching plate comprising a plurality of apertures, the quenching plate and apertures constructed and arranged to quench a flame, wherein the gas air mixture flows through the plurality of apertures and from the mixture plenum to the port plenum.
