Abstract: A cylindrical burner apparatus and method which produce low NOx emissions and low noise levels without being dependent upon a blower, or natural draft, for providing air flow or flue gas recirculation. A flow of combustion air is induced into the initial tube pass of the burner by discharging a gas fuel from a plurality of discharge ports located in the initial tube pass. At the same time, a flow of recycled flue gas is induced through a bypass duct between a subsequent tube pass of the burner and the initial tube pass by discharging one or more jets of gas fuel through the bypass duct.

Abstract: A cylindrical burner apparatus and method which produce low noise levels and are not dependent upon a blower, or natural draft, for providing combustion air flow. A flow of combustion air is induced into a rearward end of a burner tube and a swirling flame is produced in the tube by discharging a gas fuel from a plurality of discharge ports located in the tube.

Abstract: A cylindrical burner apparatus and method which produce low NOx emissions and low noise levels without being dependent upon a blower, or natural draft, for providing air flow. A flow of combustion air is induced into a cylindrical burner lube by discharging a gas fuel from a plurality of discharge ports located inside the rearward end of the tube. At least some of the discharge ports are oriented to direct jets of the gas fuel toward flame stabilization structures positioned downstream of the discharge ports.

Abstract: A gas mixer is provided which is especially suitable for a burner which includes a plurality of parallel supply tubes for a first gaseous reactant passing through a sealed distribution manifold through which a second reactant may be educed into each tube through an annular arrangement of orifices and admixed with the first reactant until said admixture reaches the outlet of each tube where, through ignition, an individual flamelet is formed, the multiplicity of which form a collective flame with an homogeneous ratio of reactants through the entire cross section of the flame.
