The porous matrix combustor-heater is a combined combustion-heat-transfer device in which the heat exchange surfaces are embedded in a stationary bed of refractory material where gaseous fuel is burned. A basic experimental study was conducted on a 60 kW bench-scale porous matrix combustor-heater with two rows of water-cooled tube coils to evaluate its performance and explore the mechanism of combined convective-radiative heat transfer and its interaction with combustion in the porous matrix. Combustion stability in the porous matrix, heat-transfer rates, emissions and pressure drop through the unit were investigated under different conditions. The results demonstrated that high combustion intensity (up *
