Rauschert 26358 / 1 - 8101 - 101 plaque infrarouge en céramique
This Rauschert ceramic infra-red plaque is a replacement part for gas burners that use surface combustion. In such burners, the gas-air mixture passes through the ceramic matrix and burns on the face of the plaque, causing it to glow and emit infra-red radiation. This method of heat transfer is efficient for direct heating of surfaces and is found in certain industrial heating appliances and some boiler designs. The plaque is mounted in the combustion head, often in a panel or matrix arrangement, and must withstand high thermal cycling. Parts of this type are selected by their physical dimensions, hole pattern (pitch and diameter), and the maximum surface temperature they are designed for. When replacing a ceramic infra-red plaque, verify that the new piece matches the original in overall size and thickness, as well as the pattern of the gas passage holes. Even small deviations can affect flame stability and heat output. The ceramic material is brittle; handle with care to avoid cracks or chips around the edges. Inspect the sealing gasket or fibre rope that sits between the plaque and the burner housing—if it is compressed or damaged, replace it to prevent gas leakage.
