    Patent number: 4941452
    Abstract: A pulse combustion fired space heater is disclosed. The heater has an exterior cabinet enclosing an interior housing having a pulse combustion burner mounted therein. The burner includes a plurality of generally flat elements which cooperate with the interior housing to provide a tortuous path for air circulated through the chamber during heat transfer. The circulating air pressurizes the interior housing to enhance uniformity of heat transfer and suppress structural vibrations.
