DIRECT FIRED MAKE-UP AIR BURNERS are used in
industrial and commercial applications to maintain the
desired environmental temperatures required by critical
processes i.e. health purposes, production systems,
quality control, comfort and loss prevention where it
is necessary or required to exhaust large amounts of
conditioned air.
Make-up Air Systems used as stand alone heating
systems or operating in combination with central heating
plants systems can be cost e
ff
ective in three ways: 1)
reducing the initial expenditures, 2) tempering incoming
air which may extend the life of expensive central heating
plants and 3) reducing excessive equipment cycling or
premature component failures due to increased heating
demands.
Our innovative two stage combustion burner is not just a
modi
fi
cation or improvement of the old, but a completely
new approach to direct-
fi
red combustion. The two-stage
combustion improves control of the
fl
ame process, meets
or exceeds the new ANSI Standards while outperforming
the competition. By incorporating two separate
fl
ames
within the burner combustion zone, the
fl
ame is more
stable, shorter and cleaner, permitting the reduction of
emissions levels and allowing for higher temperature rise
and higher tolerance to varying conditions when placed in
the pro
fi
le opening.
The Blue Flame Series
Features and Bene
fi
ts
Reduced NO
2
and CO Emissions:
Lower emissions
levels that pass the ANSI Z83.4, Z83.18 and Z83.25 standards.
Higher Temperature Rise:
The two stage combustion
process lowers NO
2
emissions which is the limiting factor in
temperature rise.
Increased Capacity:
Up to 750,000 BTU’S per foot. (Higher
BTU levels can be achieved if ANSI Z83 Standards for CO and
NO
2
emissions are not of a concern. Process heaters can
fi
re
up to 1,000,000 BTU’S a foot or more.)
Increased Di
ff
erential Pressure
Drop and Higher Velocities:
HMA 2 & 2A burners can operate as low as 0.05
″
to 1.4
″
W.C.
di
ff
erential pressure range or in air velocity as low as 800 fpm to
4000 fpm.
Flame Stability:
Two stage combustion provides better
fl
ame
stability and emission control, allowing for a shorter
fl
ame and
easier pro
fi
le con
fi
guration.
Reduced Inventory Costs - HMA 2A:
Single burner casting
can be
fi
red with natural, propane or butane gas
1
, reducing
burner inventory.
Reduced Shipping Costs:
A smaller, lighter casting than the
competition’s, can lower your freight costs.
Turndown:
30-1 turndown can be achieved with proper
modulating controls and valves. (Higher turndown possible
depending on equipment design.)
Emission performance is application speci
fi
c and may vary.
