Totally Aerated Combustion Burner

Abstract

A totally aerated combustion burner is provided with a combustion plate part through which air-fuel mixture is ejected. The combustion plate part includes: a porous body made of metal fibers; and a distribution plate stacked on a back surface of the porous body, the distribution plate having formed therein a multitude of distribution holes, thereby enabling reduction in cost. The porous body is formed by nonwoven fabric made by laminating metal fibers in the form of felt. A front surface of the nonwoven fabric is covered by a meshed sheet made of metal. Preferably, the meshed sheet is made by knitting a wire member into the form of a mesh, the wire member being formed by bundling together a plurality of metal fibers. The mesh size of the meshed sheet shall preferably be below a flame-out distance of the air-fuel mixture to be ejected out of the combustion plate part.
