What type of burner typically operates at higher temperatures to reduce emissions?

A low NOx burner is designed to operate at higher temperatures while minimizing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. The technology behind low NOx burners involves advanced combustion methods that achieve more complete fuel combustion at elevated temperatures, which reduces the generation of NOx gases. By controlling the combustion process effectively, these burners can produce cleaner exhaust suitable for meeting stringent emission regulations.

Low NOx burners often incorporate features such as staged combustion or flue gas recirculation that further enhance their efficiency and emission control. This makes them a preferred choice in applications where environmental compliance is critical, such as in commercial kitchens and industrial settings.

In contrast, high NOx burners and conventional burners do not focus on emission reduction to the same degree and may not operate at the temperatures necessary for reducing emissions effectively. Infrared burners, while they can provide high heat, do not specifically target NOx emissions in their design.
