Abstract
A combustion system such as a furnace or boiler includes a perforated reaction holder configured to hold a combustion reaction that produces very low oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
Claims19
A combustion system, comprising:
- a fuel and oxidant source configured to output fuel and oxidant into a combustion volume;
- a perforated reaction holder disposed in the combustion volume and including reticulated fibers that define a plurality of perforations aligned to receive a mixture of the fuel and the oxidant from the fuel and oxidant source and to support a combustion reaction of the fuel and the oxidant within the perforations;
- and
- a heating apparatus configured to cause heating of the perforated reaction holder;
- wherein the perforated reaction holder is configured to support the combustion reaction supported by the fuel and oxidant mixture in the plurality of perforations after the heating apparatus preheats the perforated reaction holder.
