Abstract

There is disclosed infra-red burner construction which includes the use of a burner face comprising a mat or matrix of fibrous felt refractory composition, required to be positioned at the open side of a plenum through which a combustible medium is supplied to the face, the means to maintain the matrix in position being insulated from the surface at which infra-red generation takes place, and the plenum being positioned within a second plenum, in a manner to provide passageways for a non-combustible medium to be directed outwardly beyond the face of the matrix at the periphery thereof, to prevent undesired heating of either plenum or ignition and burning of combustible mixture beyond the edges of the matrix.
