Scanner

The scanner is mounted to a sight tube that extends 

past the face of the diffuser (approximately 1/8“) 

where it can detect the pilot or main flame. This 

location insures that it does not see the spark of the 

pilot or reflection off the refractory. The inside surface 

of the scanner tube must be kept clean to prevent it 

from absorbing the light and preventing the scanner 

from detecting the flame.

Pilot

The pilot (Figure E-5) is positioned behind the 

diffuser, so that the pilot flame passes through the 

diffuser to ignite the main flame. It is located close to 

the scanner tube, in the upstream direction to cause 

the flame to pass in front of the scanner tube.
The pilot is connected to a gas pipe that extends 

through the backplate in the burner drawer and can 

be adjusted by moving the tube in the backplate. The 

electrode is mounted to the venturi casting.

4.  Gas Fuel Components
Gas Train

The gas train contains the safety shutoff 

valves, manual shut-off valves, pressure 

switches and other components that may be 

required for the specific installation, available 

Figure B-10 Typical Gas Train

gas pressure, insurance codes and local regulations.  

The details of the gas train can vary greatly from 

burner to burner. Gas trains are typically designed for 

each application and a specific gas train assembly 

drawing is provided for each unit, identifying the 

major components. Details are provided in the 

manual included with each burner.
The gas train shown in Figure B-10 uses a gas 

pressure regulator upstream of two safety shutoff 

valves. Another common style is to have the gas 

pressure regulation built into the second safety 

shutoff valve.

Gas Safety Shutoff Valve

Each gas train has two shutoff valves in the gas train.  

These shutoff valves are usually motorized to open 

and spring return to close. They may contain a proof 

of closure switch to prove that the valve is in the 

closed position prior to starting the burner.  

High Gas Pressure Switch

This switch is located after the last shutoff valve 

and before the gas flow control valve. It is set at a 

pressure that is greater than the highest gas pressure 

expected at this location. If the gas pressure rises 

above this level, it will trip the switch and cause the burner 

to shut down.

Low Gas Pressure Switch

This switch is located before the first shutoff valve.  It is set 

to a pressure that is below the expected gas pressure at 

this location. If the gas pressure falls below this setting, the 

switch will trip and cause the burner to shut down.

Gas Pressure Regulator

Each gas train must have a gas pressure regulator. The 

regulator insures a consistent supply pressure to the 

burner. Often, the gas pressure regulator is the first item 

in the gas train, or it can be integrated into the second 

shutoff valve.

Gas Control Valve

The gas control valve is used to modulate the flow of gas 

fuel to the burner. On a single point positioning system 

(linkage), it is connected to the jackshaft and uses a fuel 

cam to make fine adjustments to fuel flow. When high 

turndown is used with linkage, a gas valve with mechanical 

stops and overtravel linkage is used to lock in low fire. With 

a parallel positioning system (linkageless), an actuator 

is connected to the gas control valve, and modulated by 

electronic control to the desired position. The gas control 

valve is located on the pipe that connects to the manifold.

Gas Manifold

The gas manifold (figure B-11) is a cylindrical chamber that 

has radial gas ports used to direct the gas fuel. Gas spuds 

are installed in these radial ports to improve the distribution 

of the gas. The gas manifold also holds the diffuser end of 

the burner drawer, which fits tightly into the gas manifold. 

This centers the diffuser in the gas manifold, which is 

required to obtain good mixing of the gas and air.
The face of the gas manifold is protected from the high 

flame temperatures by a refractory front plate, which is 

designed to withstand high temperatures. In addition, a 

ceramic blanket is used between the face of the manifold 

and the refractory to slowdown the transfer of heat.

Mounting Flange

The primary support for the burner is the mounting flange 

on the gas manifold. This provides a clamping surface to
