ABSTRACT:
A fuel-fired, forced air draft induced heating furnace is provided with NO.sub.x reduction apparatus associated with a plurality of combustor tubes forming a portion of its heat exchanger structure. In-shot type fuel burners are spaced apart from and face the open inlet ends of horizontal combustion sections of the combustor tubes. The NO.sub.x reduction apparatus includes a plurality of metal mesh tubes having diameters substantially less than the internal diameters of the combustion tubes. The mesh tubes are coaxially supported within the combustor tubes, adjacent their inlet ends, by elongated support members longitudinally passing through the mesh tubes and having first ends anchored to the combustor tube inlet ends, and second ends slidably resting on internal side surface portions of the combustor tubes. During burner operation the burner flames injected into the combustor tubes are forced through the mesh tubes which operate to laterally reduce the cross-sections of the flames, increase their axial velocity through the combustor tubes, and substantially diminish the intimate contact of secondary combustion with the maximum temperature zones of the flames within the combustor tubes.
