Abstract
A high-temperature, non-catalytic, infrared heater is formed within a housing having a bottom and at least one side lined with a refractory material. The burner includes a burner surface area and is positioned within the housing. A re-radiating surface is positioned above the burner and comprises a mesh having a re-radiating surface area greater than the burner surface area with the re-radiating surface operating between approximately 400° F. and 2200° F.
Claims18
A high-temperature, non-catalytic, infrared heater comprising:
- a housing having a bottom and at least one side;
- a burner positioned in the bottom of the housing, the burner having a natural gas supply and a burner surface area, the burner operating between approximately 1400° F. and 2200° F.;
- a re-radiating surface positioned above the burner, the re-radiating surface having a re-radiating surface area greater than the burner surface area, the re-radiating surface operating between approximately 400° F. and 2200° F.
A high-temperature, non-catalytic, infrared heater comprising:
- a housing having a bottom and at least one side lined with a refractory material;
- a burner positioned in the bottom of the housing, the burner having a burner surface area;
- a re-radiating surface positioned above the burner, the re-radiating surface comprising a mesh of an irregular pattern having a re-radiating surface area greater than the burner surface area, the re-radiating surface operating between 400° F. and 2200° F.
A high-temperature, non-catalytic, infrared heater comprising:
- a housing lined with a refractory material;
- a burner positioned within the housing, the burner having a burner surface area;
- a re-radiating surface positioned above the burner, the re-radiating surface comprising a mesh of an irregular pattern and having a re-radiating surface area approximately five times greater than the burner surface area, the re-radiating surface operating between 600° F. and 1400° F.
