ABSTRACT

Thermal radiation burners refers here to a class of burners designed speciÞcally to transfer heat by thermal radiation, primarily infrared (IR), to the load. This does not include radiant tube burners (Chapter 14) or radiant wall burners (Chapter 15), which are discussed elsewhere and designed for some speciÞc applications. The burners discussed here are generally designed for loads at lower temperatures, often for drying applications.
