INFRARED HEATER FOR FLUID IMMERSION APPARATUS An infrared heater for fluid immersion apparatus is disclosed and includes a cylindrical ceramic foam radiant gas burner, the burner being made from reticulated ceramic foam having a porosity of about 40 to about 100 pores per linear inch. Also disclosed is a high emissivity coating on the reticulated ceramic foam burner element for substantially decreasing the likelihood of backflashing. In conjunction with the burner element, a cylindrical baffle having unevenly spaced openings distributes the gas mixtures within the burner element to enhance uniform burning.
