A surface combustion furnace lined with alundum and fed by seven burners supplied from a mixture box in which an explosive mix. Of gas and air is made by a special inspirator melts down cone 36 in one hour using 156 cu. Ft. of city gas. The max. temp., 3400°F, attained is within 200°F, of the theoretical max. Advantages claimed are: Simplicity, low fuel consumption, ease of observation and measuring temperatures and ability to produce either neutral, reducing or oxidizing atmosphere.
