Fulton Pulse Combustion Hydronic Boilers…The Modern Approach to
Commercial Heating
The application of the Pulse combustion principle
illustrates how fresh perceptions and changing needs
can breathe new life into an old idea. The oldest
patents related to this method of burning fuel in a
resonating system were issued before the end of the
19th century. Today...advanced Pulse technology has
finally found and proven its way into the heating boiler
industry.
Fulton has brought Pulse combustion applications out
of the residential and light commercial markets into
larger industrial/commercial heating uses.
Benefits of Gas Pulse Combustion:
Reliability
Flame sensing by pressure switches and flame rod, no
constant blower required.
Durability
These new boilers are constructed to ASME Code. The
design compensates for expansion and contraction,
which cause other boilers to eventually leak or fail.
No Expensive Chimney Needed
Pulse combustion is self-venting through an AL29-4C
stainless steel vent. Sidewall venting does not require a
draft-inducing fan.
Highest Efficiency Possible
Boiler efficiency is up to 98% depending on return water
temperature and firing rate.
Simple Reliable Ignition
No pilot or complex start sequence. Only a small assist
fan is required. Following ignition this assist fan is shut
off, so there is no continuous blower motor electrical
usage.
Low NOx Emissions
Our country's most abundant natural resource...natural
gas...combined with modern-day pulse combustion is
the cleanest most efficient combination for
industrial/commercial applications today.
NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) commonly referred to as “smog”
is a prime contributor to acid rain. Environmental control
agencies are beginning to deal with this pollution
problem. Fulton Pulse combustion hydronic heating
boilers already meet or exceed most new emission
standards.
