Abstract
Methods of burning combustible gas mixtures on a surface of a permeable matrix providing surface stabilized combustion (SSC) with increasing amounts of radiation energy emitted by the surface of the permeable matrix and decreasing concentrations of pollutant components in the combustion products are provided. The gas mixture is fed to a burner that includes a permeable matrix material having a first thermal conductivity. The gas mixture is preheated as it travels through the permeable matrix material. The gas mixture is then combusted at or near exit pores and channels formed at a combustion surface of the permeable matrix material, the combustion surface at least in part coated with a coating material having a thermal conductivity less than the permeable matrix material thermal conductivity and a high optical transmittance in the infrared spectrum.
