Compared with conventional flame burner heating systems, special burners such as radiant burners allow a more efficient utilization of gas in industrial furnaces in many cases of application. Practice has shown that the integration of radiant burners into assembly-type roof elements and the additional application of radiation-active ceramic protective layers permit an efficient design and employment of radiant roofs. Self-supporting superstructure elements made of heat-resistant reinforced concrete and recently also of fibrous materials are used as assembly-type roof elements which carry the radiant burners alone. Model investigations have shown that an increase in emissivity of burner bricks and adjacent roof and wall areas makes it possible to intensify the radiant heat transfer in the furnace chambers.
