1 Application
ECOMAX..M
Self-recuperative burners ECOMAX are used for heating
on either direct or indirect furnace systems in ON/OFF
intermittent mode. The hot flue gases are fed through
the ceramic or metallic heat exchanger, which is integrat-
ed in the burner, heating the additional supply of cold
combustion air flowing in the opposite direction. The
maximum achievable air preheat temperature amounts
to approx. 650°C, depending on the application.

1 .1 Direct heating

In conjunction with an eductor EJEK to extract the flue
gases, the burner ECOMAX is used to save energy in a
direct heating system without long hot air pipes requir-
ing insulation.
ECOMAX · Edition 10.17
ECOMAX..C
Applications include heat treatment furnaces in the
iron and steel industry and in the non-ferrous metal
industry.

1 .2 Indirect heating

Self-recuperative burners ECOMAX are used in con-
junction with metallic or ceramic radiant tubes and
ceramic segmented flame tubes SICAFLEX for indirect
heating. Indirect heating equipment is used whenever
the combustion gases are to be separated from the
product, e.g. in heat treatment furnaces with inert gas
atmospheres in the steel industry or when heat-treating
aluminium.
