ABSTRACT:
A high heat flux catalytic radiant burner of the present invention includes a housing with an inlet and an outlet end. A catalyst layer which has a coating disposed on a support is positioned between the two ends. The catalyst layer has a total specific surface area of 0.1 to 10 m.sup.2 /g. The support has a specific surface area of 1 m.sup.2 /g or less. The coating is a thin film of a nobel metal. A mixture of air and gas enters the housing though the inlet end and enters the catalyst layer where the gas is oxidized and releases heat such that the burner maintains operational firing rates of approximately 40 to 413 kBTU/hr ft.sup.2 and produces extremely low emissions.
