Page 5: The Principle Of Air Curtain Incineration
Air Burners, Inc. T-300 Air Curtain Trench Burner with Perkins 404D.22T or Kubota V2403-TE Engine OPERATING MANUAL PRINCIPLE OF AIR CURTAIN INCINERATION Air curtain incinerators are designed primarily as a pollution control device. Using a Diesel engine driven fan, these machines generate a curtain of air with a very particu- lar mass flow and velocity.
Page 6: General Description T-300 Model
The T-300 is a mobile air curtain burner which is used in combination with an earthen pit or trench made to function as the combustion chamber. The T-300 unit is a fully self -contained, trailer mounted system that includes a power plant, mechanical drive sys- tem, blower fan, manifolds, carrier pipe and fuel tanks.
Page 7 Air Burners, Inc. T-300 Air Curtain Trench Burner with Perkins 404D.22T or Kubota V2403-TE Engine OPERATING MANUAL All of this is carefully engineered to provide the correct amount of air at the correct velocity. It is sometimes thought that more air flow will actually increase the burn rate.
Page 8: Safety Considerations
The T-300 is very safe as long as it is used and operated in the manner for which it was designed; however, it will be no safer than an open fire burning above ground when it is not being used and operated properly.
Page 9 Air Burners, Inc. T-300 Air Curtain Trench Burner with Perkins 404D.22T or Kubota V2403-TE Engine OPERATING MANUAL 4. The Machine should be placed on cleared, level ground. The placement or positioning of the machine on the job site can be very important.

Page 21 SITE PREPARATION Faster operation through staging the wood piles Air Burners Trench Burners were designed primarily as a pollution control device, but operated correctly, they will burn clean wood two or three times faster than open burn- ing. To achieve the best throughput the fire must remain at the highest temperature possible.
