ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a radiator element composed of a metal foam for use within a radiant burner. The radiator element is comprised of a homogenous network about a plurality of inter-connected cells thereby forming a gas-permeable metal foam. The homogeneous network may be composed of a metal or metal alloy capable of withstanding combustion temperatures typical of fuel-air reactions and resisting damage produced by flashback. Inter-connected cells include irregular-shaped voids, circular-shaped voids, and combinations thereof.
