FRYMASTER HD1814 SERIES GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2.3 Principles of Operation The incoming gas flows through orifices and is mixed with air in the burners to create the correct ratio for proper combustion. The mixture is ignited at the front end of each heat tube by the pilot light. Internal diffusers slow the flame as it goes through the burner tube. This slower and more turbulent flame gives much better heat transfer to the walls of the tubes, thereby heating the oil better. 2.
