Radiant burner technology

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6219360
GRI's radiant burner research aims to provide equipment for new high temperature processing applications and to increase productivity of existing furnaces, while lowering operating and capital costs. In parallel projects at Eclipse, Inc. and Pyronics, Inc. ceramic materials are being developed to extend the capabilities of radiant tube burner systems. A silicon-silicon carbide material developed by INEX, Inc. allows radiant tubes to operate at higher temperatures and with better thermal shock resistance. Research is underway to advance surface combustor technology. Hi-Tech Ceramics, Inc. and the Center for Advanced Materials are developing reticulated ceramics. Eclipse Combustion is developing a high efficiency radiant burner with improved combustion heat release.
