Even metals survive well because the centrifuge throws denser, cooler, gases to the outside keeping the core hot and the walls cool. It seems to lead to some segregation of incoming air such that dilution air ends up as a high excess air value. I say this only from observation of experiments where I have measured excess air in the flue with low (30ppm) CO levels where I expected lower excess air measurements for a pre mixed flame.
