Abstract
A baffle ignitor assembly (1)) comprises an ignitor element (12) which is located in a cylindrical baffle (14). The cylindrical baffle (14) has an elongated opening (15) in a sidewall (17) thereof and which opening is dimensioned to admit a gas/air mixture flow from a burner nozzle (11) when positioned in close proximity thereof and at a desired orientation with respect thereto. An orifice (16) is provided in the sidewall (17) opposite the opening (15) and together with the opening creating a stable slightly turbulent low velocity air/gas flow mixture (25) in the baffle (14) about the ignitor element (12) for ignition of the air/gas mixture.
