Abstract

A gas burner apparatus including plenum chamber having a combustion surface formed from a conductive porous heat resistant material, a fuel supply, an air/gas mixing and delivery device extending into the chamber, the delivery device being adapted to supply an air/gas mixture with an air component at least equal to that required for theoretical complete combustion, and a fuel delivery system for delivering fuel from the fuel supply to achieve a predetermined combustion temperature at the combustion surface selected so as to reduce the formation of oxides of nitrogen in the products of combustion to about 5 ng/Joule or below.
