Abstract
A system to be installed into a radiant tube for reduction of pollutants, the system having a body having a tube shape including a length LB, an outer diameter ODB, and an inner diameter IDB, wherein the body further comprises a proximal surface, a terminal surface, and a circumferential surface extending between the proximal surface and terminal surface, and at least two helical bodies each having a substantially helical shape including a length LH, and an outer diameter ODH, wherein an axial distance (E) between the at least two helical bodies is at least 1% of the length LH.

A system configured to be installed into a radiant tube for reduction of pollutants, the system comprising:
- a body having a tube shape including a length LB, an outer diameter ODB, and an inner diameter IDB, wherein the body further comprises a proximal surface, a terminal surface, and a circumferential surface extending between the proximal surface and terminal surface;
- at least two helical bodies each having a substantially helical shape including a length LH, and an outer diameter ODH, wherein an axial distance (E) between the at least two helical bodies is at least 1% of the length LH.
A system configured to be installed into a radiant tube for reduction of pollutants, the system comprising:
- a body having a tube shape including a length LB, an outer diameter ODB, and an inner diameter IDB, wherein the body further comprises a proximal surface, a terminal surface, and a circumferential surface extending between the proximal surface and terminal surface;
- a first helical body closest to the body and a second helical body each having a substantially helical shape including a length LH, an outer diameter ODH, and a pitch, wherein the pitch of the first helical body and the second helical body are different.
A system configured to be installed into a radiant tube for reduction of pollutants, the system comprising:
- a body having a tube shape including a length LB, an outer diameter ODB, and an inner diameter IDB, wherein the body further comprises a proximal surface, a terminal surface, and a circumferential surface extending between the proximal surface and terminal surface;
- a first helical body closest to the body and a second helical body each having a substantially helical shape including a length LH, an outer diameter ODH, wherein the total length of a first helical body, LH1, and the length of the second helical body, LH2, is not greater than 40% LB.
