  • Pot-type burner using sonic resonance for increased efficiency
    Patent number: 3990428
    Abstract: A pot-type burner is equipped with baffle plates for establishing recirculation zones within the burner for efficiently mixing air and gas in a conventional manner. The burner construction is improved by removing the combustion ring, and in its stead adding an annular dome. This initiates sonic pulsations, sustained within a heat exchanger housing which has critical dimensions relative to the burner parts. The pulsations produce improved combustion.
