Patent GB-8830194-D0 (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the construction of ceramic plaque burners
IPC: F23D14/58
Filed: 1988-12-23
Abstract: The present specification relates to a ceramic plaque burner (1) and to its method of construction. The plaque burner (1) is formed as a generally planar plate with a number of parallel, narrow slit burner apertures (13; 43) extending therethrough. A known burner of this type is produced by moulding and heating. However, production is relatively long and expensive, and due to the effects of heat, the end regions of the slits (13; 43) tend to crack, thus reducing the life of the burner. The present invention provides a ceramic plaque burner comprising a number of elongate ceramic members (3; 39) which are arranged parallel to each other with spacers (19; 31) located therebetween, a bezel (21) engaging around the elongate ceramic members (3; 39) and said spacers (19; 31) to hold the assembly together. This construction is relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture and avoids the problem of thermal stress cracking at the end regions of the burner slits (13; 43).

Date Apr. 18, 1991.Porous membranes incorporating porous anodic films are disclosed. The membranes, which may be used as filters, gaseous diffusion media, dialysis membranes, etc., are produced by porous anodizing aluminum or other porous anodizable metal, creating a weakened stratum in the resulting porous anodic film (e.g. by a voltage reduction procedure during the anodizing step), attaching a support to the porous anodic film and separating the film along the weakened stratum. If the support is perforated the resulting structure is suitable as a separation device. If imperforate, the support can subsequently be perforated, if required, or replaced by a perforate support or supporting structure. The resulting structure has a non-metallic imperforate or perforated supporting layer (made, for example of plastic or ceramic) or other supporting structure, reinforcing a porous anodic film in which the pores completely penetrate the film.
