The document describes a metal fiber burner produced by Goch GmbH & Co. KG. The burner consists of a steel housing, inlet for air/gas mix, and distribution system to provide homogeneous combustion across a metal fiber surface. It is compact and lightweight with shape versatility and thermal expansion control. The burner is available in various sizes with maximum capacities from 5-25 kW. It achieves surface combustion through pre-mixed gas and air burning across thin metal fibers heated to 1,000°C. This provides high radiant heat flux with low emissions and noise.

The Metal Fibre Burner mainly consists of a steel/ceramic housing with the metal fibre medium mounted on top. Distribution plates are used inside the housing to provide for the homogeneity of the combustion. Due to the flexibility of the metal fibre media and the procedures for securing it to the housing we are able to offer a wide range of burner powers and sizes: Type MK 8 / 13 MK 12 / 3 MK 16 / 3 MK 24 / 3 MK 25 2.

Combustion Process Surface combustion is a technique in which premixed gas and air burns on the surface of a permeable medium. With the Metal Fibre Burner, the permeable medium is made of very thin metal fibres. The permeable medium then heats to incandescence and releases most of the energy input as thermal radiation. At all operation conditions the Metal Fibre Burner achieves a homogenous combustion. The Metal Fibre Burner is operated at a surface temperature of about 1,000C (1,832 F), which corresponds to a thermal surface load of approx. 200 kW/m (63,400 BTU/ft). The sophisticated steel used to manufacture the Metal Fibre Burners is extremely resistant to oxidation and corrosion. This provides the burner with exceptional durability. When the burner is operated in a confined environment, the surface temperature will be higher and the radiated power will increase. The maximum long-term operating temperature for the Metal Fibre Burner is 1,050 C (1,922 F). Radiation from surface combustion burners originates from two sources: emissions from the heated surface and emissions from the hot combustion gases leaving the surface. The high radiant flux from the Metal Fibre Burner can be expressed as a portion of the total energy output of the burner. Because of the highly porous nature of the mat as well as the thin combustion layer, the Metal Fibre Burner is fully radiant a few seconds after ignition. This is a major benefit for quick modulation and accurate temperature control.

Characteristics Resistance to Thermal Shocks As the Metal Fibre Burner is 100% metal, it resists thermal shocks, even of extreme levels. Thus water splashed on the burner surface whilst firing evaporates without leaving any trace of damage to the burner.
Resistance to Mechanical Shocks
The Metal Fibre Burner is extremely robust. No special precautions are needed for handling or mounting.
Flashback Safety Even in tough confined conditions with burner surface heated up to 1150 C, insulation properties of the Metal Fibre Burner assure that no self-ignition will occur.

Fast Cooldown This is a crucial point in fire prevention. If the burner is shut off with the air fan switched on, the cooling down of the Metal Fibre Burner is so fast that a few seconds after shutdown the burner surface can be touched with bare hands.
Low Emissions of NOx and CO
Surface combustion with the Metal Fibre Burner leads to extremely low emissions of NOx, CO and unburned fuel components. As a result of the intimate contact between the gases and the fibres, the flame temperature is significantly reduced leading to far lower NOx levels than with other burner technologies.
Low Noise Generation
Noise-free and resonance-free combustion. Because of the textile structure of the Metal Fibre Burner the probability of flame front resonance is extremely low.
