(54) | Infra-red heating system |
(57) An infra-red heating system comprises a heating pipe 2 and a plurality of combustion
devices 3 (one only shown) spaced apart along the pipe 2. The combustion devices are
connected in parallel to the pipe 2 by respective connecting pipes 4 through which
hot gases are supplied to the interior of the pipe 2 to cause the pipe to emit infra-red
radiation. The structure of the combustion devices including the burner heads 10 thereof
is disposed remotely from the interior of the pipe 2 and does not interfere with gas
flow along the pipe 2. |
