Abstract

A burner head for a recuperative radiant tube burner system is constructed so as to effect clean burning of a gaseous fuel such as butane having a relatively high heat value. The burner head includes a sleeve having a frustoconical section formed with combustion air ports which cause combustion air to spin and mix thoroughly with butane discharged from a gas nozzle having a discharge orifice located downstream of certain ones of the combustion air ports.
