Solaronics
Hi Intensity Heaters
|
At
the heart of Solaronics hi-intensity heaters is an atmospheric type,
100% primary air burner utilizing a perforated ceramic combustion
surface. The burner, along with a heater frame, reflector, means
of ignition and controls comprise the entire heater. These heaters
are certified by the American Gas Association, Canadian Gas Association
and are described by separate literature.
 HI-INTENSITY
BURNER
The burner is made of a 1/2" thick ceramic tile surface with
235 perforations per square inch, minimum of 0.045" diameter,
a one piece aluminized steel plenum, a spun metal venturi, pan diffuser
and stainless steel retainer clips.
Gas enters the burner through the orifice, part of the gas manifold
assembly, which is centered at the opening of the venturi. Primary
combustion air is aspirated by the flow of gas from the orifice
through the converging section of the venturi. Due to the design
of the burner components, secondary air is not required. The gas
is thoroughly mixed with combustion air in the venturi and mixing
tube and the mixture is distributed by the plenum chamber to the
back of the ceramic tile. The mixture then enters the small holes
in the tile and as it exits from the holes it burns on the surface
of the ceramic. As a result, the flame causes the ceramic surface
to reach temperature of approximately 1700° to 1850°F (an
incandescent) with "a glowing" and a high rate of infra-red
energy is generated.
