Talk:LO-NOx burner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have just started this article on the LO-NOx burner and it is a work in progress at the moment. Please be patient.

I am in the process of adding all my primary sources for verification. This may take a week or so.

I believe additional information should be added to Wikipedia on the following topics

  • An article on what is a flued/vented gas-fired heater needs to be added.
  • An Article or entry on what is an unflued/vented gas-fired heater also needs to be created.
  • An article on what is a gas-fired burner needs to be created and its evolution from blue-flame technology to Low NOx technology in more recent times.

The discussion on invention and research in low NOx combustion seems to be rather narrow. Much of the initial technology in low NOx began long before air quality concerns and certainly before 1986. Many food companies were looking to reduce NO2 components in processed foods in contact with combustion products in the mid 1970's.

It seems curious that the invention of low NOx burners is attributed to the cited individual in 1986 when companies such as Maxon Corporation of Muncie, Indiana hold patents and trademarks such as US Trademark registration #73236746 titled "Lo NOx Burner in 1981.

For historical accuracy, the research by other individuals and companies needs to be acknowledged.
