A recuperative radiant tube heating system in which a recuperator tube telescoped into a radiant tube and over a burner assembly is formed as three interconnected sections to facilitate manufacture of the recuperator tube, to facilitate assembly of the recuperator tube with the burner head of the burner assembly and to enable easy replacement of that portion of the recuperator tube which is most susceptible to burn out. The burner head includes a nozzle having gas discharge ports which are angled in such a manner as to effect good mixing of the gas with combustion air while reducing the likelihood of the ports becoming clogged with carbon.

A recuperative radiant tube heating system, said system comprising an outer radiant tube made of heat-resistant material and having a closed forward end, recuperator tube means located within said radiant tube and having an open forward end spaced upstream from the forward end of said radiant tube,

A recuperative radiant tube heating system, said system comprising an outer radiant tube made of heat-resistant material and having a closed forward end, recuperator tube means located within said radiant tube and having an open forward end spaced upstream from the forward end of said radiant tube, an inner tube located within said recuperator tube means and having a forward end spaced upstream from the forward end of said recuperator tube means, a burner head located within said recuperator tube means between the forward end thereof and the forward end of said inner tube, and a gas supply pipe located within said inner tube for supplying gaseous fuel to said burner head, said inner tube being spaced radially inwardly from said recuperator tube means and coacting therewith to define an annular passage for the flow of combustion air to said burner head, said recuperator tube means being spaced radially inwardly from said radiant tube and coacting therewith to define an annular passage for the reverse flow of exhaust gases for preheating said combustion air prior to delivery of the combustion air to said burner head, said heating system being characterized in that said recuperator tube means comprise an upstream tubular section, an intermediate tubular section made of a more heat-resistant material than said upstream tubular section and secured thereto, and a downstream tubular section detachably secured to said intermediate tubular section, said burner head being located within said intermediate tubular section, said burner head comprising a sleeve formed separately of said intermediate tubular section and having an outer side disposed in close face-to-face engagement with the inner side of said intermediate tubular section around substantially the entire perihery of said sleeve, a portion of said sleeve having a cylindrical outer wall defining said outer side, the interior of said sleeve being frustoconical and tapering in diameter upon progressing forwardly, said burner head further including a plate extending perpendicular to the axis of said sleeve and closing the upstream end portion of said sleeve, a substantial portion of said sleeve extending downstream from said plate, and a series of angularly spaced passages formed through said plate and communicating with said intermediate tubular section to deliver combustion air into said sleeve.
