Lucio Instructions-2
Startup and Shutdown:
To startup the Lucio Burner, follow the procedure below.
1. First open the gas control valve and ignite the gas with either an open flame or a striker. Be sure that
your hands, clothing, and other flammable objects are not near the face of the burner while igniting
the flame.
2. Then open the oxygen control valve to produce a blue focused flame.
To shutdown the Lucio Burner, follow the procedure below.
1. Reduce flow of all gases to burner
2. First close off the oxygen control valve.
3. Then close off the gas control valve.
Heat Build-up and Carbon Build-up:
Some inappropriate working conditions can cause heat build-up in the burner. This heat build-up will
cause damage to the burner and also present a danger to the user if a heated area of the burner is
touched by the user.
Heat build-up is the cause for carbon build-up. Carbon build-up is the formation of carbon inside of the
burner (natural byproduct of fuel gas). This often results in degraded performance of the burner and
possibly may cause carbon to expel out of the burner. Carbon that is present in the fuel gas (except
hydrogen) effectively causes the flame to have more heat potential. If the stainless steel in the burner
becomes heated to a significant level, the carbon from the fuel gas will bond to the walls of the stainless
steel. When this occurs, the burner must be cleaned (see “
Maintenance
”). Propane has a very high
carbon content and will almost certainly cause carbon build-up.
Some of the things the user can do to help retard heat build-up are:
Flames that have higher oxygen content run cooler. Use this type of flame whenever possible.
Do not run the burner without some oxygen flowing through the burner.
Do not use short flames that burn close to the face of the burner and can cause the end of tubes to
glow red.
Do not use lazy flames that are not directed outward from the face of the burner.
Do not work too close to a piece that would cause flame backwash
