100 Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner with HATZ 3H50TIC Diesel Engine
OPERATING MANUAL
LOADING AND STARTING THE FIREBOX
HOT START
A hot start uses the coals from the previous day
’
s burning operation. Depending on
how much ash is in the unit, a hot start can be done once or twice before the unit will
need to be emptied. The more ash in the firebox that you start with, the LESS room
you have for burning new materials.
First, insure there are enough coals remaining to generate enough heat to get the new
waste materials burning. You CANNOT add an accelerant if the waste materials do
not light as that would be too dangerous. You can use propane torches in the lighting
holes if you have trouble with a hot start. If the material does not light, the firebox must
be emptied before trying a cold start with the use of an accelerant.
.
HOT START LIGHTING
Similarly to a cold start you begin with your best and most burnable materials.
1)
Load the firebox to about one third or half way with the
“
good wood
”.
The wood
should begin burning as soon as you start loading.
2)
Engage the fan at 1,400 RPM. This should help fan the flames and
spread the fire. If you experience heavy smoke then reduce the RPM or
disengage the fan. Be cautious not to
“
blow out
”
the fire.
3)
As the fire begins to heat up, increase the RPM.
DANGER: DO NOT
use an accelerant for a Hot Start, as it may ignite
unexpectedly and cause injury or death.
