Abstract
A plaque for a radiant heating system can include a main body defining an outer surface and a plurality of pores defined within the main body, wherein at least some of the plurality of pores are disposed in a non-parallel relationship with at least some others of the plurality of pores, or wherein at least some of the pores are parallel with each other. A burner assembly including a plurality of adjacently arranged plaques reduces the ignition time and delay for adjacent plaques after the central plaque has been ignited.

- and
- b) a plurality of pores defined within the main body, wherein at least some of the plurality of pores are disposed in a non-parallel relationship with at least some others of the plurality of pores.
A burner assembly comprising:
- a) a plurality of plaques arranged in an array, each including:
- i. a main body defining an outer surface;
- and
- ii. a plurality of pores defined within the main body, wherein at least some of the plurality of pores are disposed in a non-parallel relationship with at least some others of the plurality of pores;
- b) wherein outer pores of adjacent plaques form a non-zero approach angle with respect to each other.
A heating element for a radiant heating system, the plaque comprising:
- a) a main body defining an inner surface and a curved outer surface, the main body having a longitudinal axis;
- and
- b) a plurality of pores extending through the main body between the inner surface and the outer surface.
