Depending on your application, please keep the following in mind
when mounting a burner:
• Ensure that the burner is level and that the furnace or burner
casing has sufficient rigidity to support the burner. If necessary,
provide stiffeners on the casing or supports under the burner.
• Remember to compensate for the burner’s combustor liner
extension for the refractory combustion block.
• Use gasketing between the burner mounting flange and the
furnace casing and ensure that you have a gas-tight joint between
these two surfaces. This tightness is especially critical for systems
operating under positive pressures.
There are several components that must be installed to a burner
systems before it can operate. Instructions to do that follow below.
Prior to starting the burner, the gun position in relation to the
burner throat cone must be checked.
Note:
Burners are not necessarily shipped with guns in the correct
position; it is also possible that the gun could shift during shipment.
Note:
All of the following adjustments provide a relative position for
safe operation for all applications; occasionally, adjustments in or
out from the relative positions may be necessary depending on
your application.
For Gas Only Burners (see Figure 3.1):
1. To adjust the gas gun, loosen the gland.
2. Using the chart in Figure 3.1, determine the “X” dimension
based on your burner size.
3. Once the “X” dimension is verified and the gas gun is centered
in relation to the throat cone, tighten the gland.
Note:
Failure to center the gun in the burner throat will cause uneven
air flow and flame instability. The gun should be centered with
+/- 1/8".
