ABSTRACT:
A hot-fluid generator, e.g. for heating water or producing steam, which comprises at least two vertical spaced-apart catalyst elements for the combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel to generate heat, a thin hollow vertical panel of heat-conductive material interposed between and substantially coextensive with the broad catalyst surfaces of the elements and a supply pipe below the panel and a distribution pipe above the panel for respectively supplying fluid to and removing it from the panel. When the catalyst elements are coaxial cylinders, the thin hollow panel or vessel is also a cylinder coaxial with the catalyst elements. Where the catalyst elements are generally planar, a dome-shaped vessel can communicate with the panel and be provided with passages for the exhaust gases. Transfer vessels can be provided along opposite vertical edges of the main vessel or panel and the vessels can be provided with horizontally extending fins projecting into the space between the catalyst elements.
