Risk of burning and fire! Hang the burner hand piece with
burning flame onto the soldering stand for short operating
stops. Ensure that there is a sufficient distance between the
flame and any flammable items. Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation for all soldering and welding operations!
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages on
persons, equipment or work pieces caused by improper use.
The operator is responsible for the correct instruction of the

3 Description of operational process
Elmaflame units produce a hydrogen flame with very high
temperatures of up to approx. 2850°C. Operational principle
In the integrated stainless-steel reactor, detonating gas is
produced through electrolysis from distilled water.
The detonating gas is guided from the reactor to a condensate
separator to dry. Then, the gas is enriched with solvent vapours
in a vapourizer tank. The processed detonating gas is then
conducted through the gas hose to the burner hand piece via a
backfire protection device.
If the detonating gas ignites, it reacts releasing heat. The
remainder of the reaction is water (H
2
O).
Temperature and energy of the burner flame can be adjusted to
the soldering or welding job by the selection of a suitable nozzle
size and the type of vapourizer liquid. Adjustment of the
microflame
The fine adjustment of the quantity of delivered gas is carried
out by the regulating wheel on the burner hand piece. The
operating pressure can also be set at the operating panel
depending on the required energy of the flame.
As soon as the valve at the burner hand piece is closed the gas
production is automatically interrupted.
Stand-by mode
Depending on the temperature of the electrolyte reactor the
ventilation device keeps on operating for a certain period of
time until the reactor has cooled down to 45°C. The ventilation
device is fitted with 3 speed ranges which are controlled
electronically.
The extremely low energy consumption and the low cost of
consumption goods (distilled water, vapourizer liquid) ensure
extraordinarily low operating costs compared to other
procedures.
