REVERSE ANNULUS COMBUSTION

Th

e 4748 is a unique low NOx, high effi

  ciency single ended 

radiant tube burner. Unlike conventional SERT burners, 
combustion occurs in the annulus formed between the outer 
radiant tube and the inner fl ue tube. Combustion gases then 
turn 180° to reverse through the inner fl ue tube to the integral 
high effi

  ciency heat exchanger having a return gas fl ow path 

to conventional SERT burners; hence the name Reverse Annulus 
Single Ended Radiant Tube burner, or "RASERT."

The 4748 RASERT has a number of advantages over 
conventional SERTs. Since the fl ame is in direct contact with 
the inside surface of the radiant tube, heat is transferred to 
the furnace more effi

  ciently. The fl ame propagates outside the 

combustion tube rather than inside, resulting in less thermal 
stress on the combustion tube. RASERT is a patented design 
(#6,321,743) of the Gas Technology Institute (GTI) developed in 
collaboration with North American.

BURNER CAPACITY

The 4748-650 is available in one size. The minimum radiant 
tube inside diameter for this burner is noted in Table 1 below.

Air capacities will be higher when starting the burner in a 
cold environment. Air fl ow will decrease as fl ue gases and 
tube temperatures increase. See page 3 for a detailed graph 
showing fl ue gas oxygen levels 

vs. 

radiant tube temperature. 

Furnace temperatures may cause slight variations in burner 
capacity. Page 4 has further information on radiant tube sizing
