Burner Operating Parameters & Requirements
Applications
Eclipse Air Heat Burners are line type burners ideal for generating large vol-
umes of clean, hot air. Applications include ovens, dryers, fume incinerators, and
similar industrial equipment.
The “AH” models feature an integral combustion air blower mounted on the back
of the burner’s steel case. By supplying the correct air volume and pressure to
the burner, the blower allows stable operation over a wide range of duct veloci-
ties without installing a profile plate around the burner.
Capacities & Supply Pressures See Figure 2.
Burner Environment
Weather Protection: Protect burners from the weather.
Combustion Air: Must be free of contaminants. Eclipse strongly recommends
use of a combustion air filter to remove airborne particles. If corrosive fumes or
materials are present in the air, supply the blower with fresh, clean air from an
uncontaminated area of the plant.
Room Openings: If the burner is mounted on the side of the duct, provide at
least one square inch of opening to the outdoors for every 4000 Btu/hr (1.2 kW)
of burner firing rate. This will admit fresh combustion air.
Access: Provide access to the burner for inspection and maintenance.
