  • Premix gas burner with temperature measurement
    Patent number: 9528699
    Abstract: A premix gas burner comprises a burner deck which comprises a fiber based substrate and a perforated plate or a screen supporting the fiber based burner substrate. The premix gas burner further comprises at least two contact wires that are forming a thermocouple. The contact wires are directly or indirectly fixed to the burner deck to measure a temperature of the burner deck when the premix gas burner is in operation. The fiber based substrate is locally at least partly connected directly or indirectly to the perforated plate or the screen in the region where the contact wires of the thermocouple are directly or indirectly fixed to the burner deck.
