Quick-Change Ceramic Flame Holder for High-Output Torches

Sunday, August 01 2010

In addition to jet engine simulation, this technology can be used in torches for forging and pottery kilns.

Researchers at NASA’s Langley Research Center have developed a new ceramic design flame holder with a service temperature of 4,000 °F (2,204 °C). The combination of high strength and high temperature capability, as well as a twist-lock mounting method to the steel burner, sets this flame holder apart from existing technology.
