High specific load, stable combustion |
 |
|
|
| Ceramat Gas Burner has an open porosity of approximately 95%, making it highly permeable. The gas or gas/air mixture passing through it can easily permeate the entire surface and burns off in the form of a flame carpet. The flames remain on the surface and do not lift off. This offers the advantages of stable combustion, a wide range of modulation and high specific load, which allow compact burner design.

Low emissions |
|
|
|
|
The simple adaptability of Ceramat Gas Burner to a specific heating system and its wide radiation range ensure very low CO and NOx values without reducing the performance and flame stability of the burner.
|
|
Even radiation |
|
|
|
|
Ceramat Gas Burner can also be used as a radiant burner. The burner surface is resistant up
to 1,000°C and only glows to a depth of 1 mm, while the temperature on the underside remains at approximately 150°C. The material also resists thermal shock. With its high resistance to heat and changing temperatures, it can be used under unusually difficult combustion conditions. |

|
|
Wide modulation range |
|
|
|
|
Ceramat Gas Burner is suitable for use in both the blue-flame and radiant mode and offers a correspondingly wide modulation range, as well as the possibility of precise, continuous adjustment.

|
Fast reaction |
|
|
|
|
Ceramat Gas Burner is extremely thin and ultra-light. Its low thermal mass results in very fast burner responsiveness during heating and cooling. Upon ignition, a bright radiation is produced, signaling immediate heat. When the flame is extinguished, Ceramat Gas Burner cools within seconds so that its surface can be safely touched. It is ideal for burners and installations that need to be turned on and off frequently in short cycles.
|
|
Low thermal conductivity |
|
|
|
High surface temperatures are not transmited to lower layers, when used as a radiant burner, this allows for a temperature differential of up to 800ºC between the topside and the underside. There is no danger of flashback and the temperature of the burner housing remains very low, even without additional cooling. This means that even compact burners can be safely operated with high output.

 |
|
|
Rigid, self-supporting structure |
|
|
|
| The silicon carbide coating gives the fibers rigidity. This coating bonds the fibers together at their interfaces to form a rigid structure. Thus Ceramat Gas Burner is self-supporting and will not sag significantly, even on larger burner surfaces and when exposed to fan pressure. No additional support is required. |
 |
 |
|
|
|
Low heat expansion |
|
|
|
Since the material practically does not expand when heated, the shape remains virtually unchanged during operation. This makes it possible to use simple frame and burner designs and ensures uniform, stable combustion.
|
|
|
No health hazards |
|
|
|
At approximately 25 to 30 μm, the diameter of the silicon carbidecoated fibers is much greater than the maximum 3μm range considered critical for human health conditions. In addition, the fibers are solidly welded together. If they should break off, they are heavy enough tofall to the ground instead of being inhaled, a fact that has been confirmed by independent studies. Therefore, Ceramat Gas Burner installation and operation pose no health hazards. |
