Patent ID: 6951455

Claim:
A method for burning ignitable gas mixed with air in a partially premixed gas burner for providing heat, comprising the steps of: feeding a pressurized ignitable gas into an internal gas conduit terminating in a set of nozzles and feeding the pressurized ignitable gas from the set of nozzles with forced air from inside an air distribution chamber into minor and major channels at a receiving end of a burner head, conducting the ignitable gas and the air in the minor and major channels, wherein each of the minor and major channels extends longitudinally downstream through the burner head from the receiving end to a discharge end of the burner head, maintaining an inhomogeneous non-ignited mixture of the ignitable gas and the air in the minor and major channels while the ignitable gas and the air are conducted through the major and minor channels igniting a mixture of the ignitable gas and the forced air in at least one of the minor channels, and mixing the ignited mixture with the inhomogeneous mixture of non ignited ignitable gas in a flame stabilization chamber.
