ABSTRACT:
A fuel-fired low NOx water heater extending along a vertical axis has a radiant fuel burner disposed in its combustion chamber. The entire burner combustion air quantity is delivered to the burner from outside the combustion chamber via a horizontally serpentined flow path extending through an internal portion of the water heater. This serpentined air inflow path configuration causes a substantial portion of particulate matter in the incoming combustion air to be removed therefrom before entering and potentially clogging the burner.
