Abstract
A modular burner system includes a nipple elongated along an axis and a plurality of jets connected to the nipple. The jets are spaced from each other along the axis. Each jet connected to the nipple has a jet axis and is elongated from the nipple along the jet axis. Each jet connected to the nipple has an exit on the jet axis spaced from the nipple to release fuel to fuel a flame at the exit. The jet axis of at least one of the jets connected to the nipple is at a first angle relative to the axis and the jet axis of at least one of the jets connected to the nipple is at a second angle relative to the axis different than the first angle.

A modular burner system comprising:
- a nipple elongated along an axis;
- and
- a plurality of jets connected to the nipple, the jets being spaced from each other along the axis;
- each jet connected to the nipple having a jet axis and being elongated from the nipple along the jet axis, each jet connected to the nipple having an exit on the jet axis spaced from the nipple to release fuel to fuel a flame at the exit;
- the jet axis of at least one of the jets connected to the nipple is at a first angle relative to the axis and the jet axis of at least one of the jets connected to the nipple is at a second angle relative to the axis different than the first angle;
- the nipple being elongated between a first end and a second end, the first end and second end of the nipple being on the axis and the nipple being linear on the axis from the first end to the second end;
- and
- a support connector that has a gas inlet and a gas outlet, the gas outlet being connected to the nipple, the nipple being cantilevered from the support connector;
- the first angle and the second angle each being in planes perpendicular to the axis.
A modular burner system comprising:
- a nipple elongated along an axis, the nipple having ends on the axis and the nipple being linear on the axis from one end to the other end;
- and
- a plurality of jets connected to the nipple, the jets being spaced from each other along the axis;
- each jet having a smaller cross section than the nipple;
- each jet having a jet axis and being elongated from the nipple along the jet axis, each jet having an exit on the jet axis spaced from the nipple to release fuel to fuel a flame at the exit;
- the jet axes of some of the jets being at a first angle relative to the axis and the jet axes of some of the jets being at a second angle relative to the axis different than the first angle;
- all of the jets being arranged with the jet axes of adjacent ones of the jets alternating between the first angle and the second angle;
- and
- the first angle and the second angle each being in planes perpendicular to the axis.
