摘要
Disclosed herein is an infrared emitter welder for fusion welding pipe joints. In one representative embodiment, the welder comprises a fuel tank adapted to contain a fuel under pressure and a heating element in fluid communication with the fuel tank. The heating element includes a pair of porous ceramic plates, each having opposing first and second surfaces, wherein the first surfaces of the ceramic plates are joined together, and wherein at least one of the first surfaces includes fuel distribution channels formed therein. A catalytic material, such as platinum, is disposed on at least one of the second surfaces and is operative to ignite the fuel as it reaches the second surface. A supply conduit interconnects the fuel tank and heating element.
