Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD)
OPERATING MANUAL
LOADING AND STARTING THE FIREBOX
HOT START
A hot start uses the coals from the previous days burning operation. Depending on
how much ash is in the unit a hot start can be done once or twice before the unit will
need to be emptied. The more ash in the FireBox that you start with the LESS room
you have for burning new materials.
First, insure there are enough coals remaining to generate enough heat to get the new
waste materials burning. You CANNOT add an accelerant, if the waste materials do
not light, as that would be too dangerous. You can use propane torches in the lighting
holes, if you have trouble with a hot start. If the material does not light, the FireBox
must be emptied before trying a cold start with the use of an accelerant.
.
HOT START LIGHTING
Similarly to a cold start you begin with your best and most burnable materials.
1)
Load the FireBox to about one third or half way with the
“
Good Wood
”.
The
wood should begin burning as soon as you start loading.
2)
Set the fan speed at Position Normal 2. This should help fan the flames and
spread the fire. If you experience heavy smoke then reduce the RPM
’
s by
switching to Position Normal 1 or disengage the air fan altogether by switching
to Position OFF. Be cautious not to
“
blow out
”
the fire.
3)
As the fire begins to heat up, increase the RPM
’
s to the maximum Position
Normal 2.
DANGER: Do not
use an accelerant for a Hot Start, as it may ignite
unexpectedly and cause injury or death.
