Shukla, K C; Hurley, J R

The objective of this program is to develop a domestic range top that provides significant advantages over conventional range tops, in the areas of fuel consumption and NOx emissions. This report describes the work performed during the first 12 months of the program leading to the fabrication of a four burner developmental prototype. It includes the tasks of state-of-the-art assessment, single burner concept development, and four burner prototype design and fabrication. The aim of the literature search was to study the effect of range emissions on indoor air pollution, identify burner design technologies for low NOx emissions, and survey NOx measurement methodologies. Three efficient, low NOx burner designs were conceived, fabricated, and tested. Though all three had acceptable efficiency and emissions, the IR-Jet Concept was selected for four burner prototype development and fabrication.
