Step 1:
Burner model selection
Design structure
Designing a burner system is a straight-forward exercise of
combining modules that add up to a reliable and safe system.
The design process is divided into the following steps:
1. Burner model selection:
a. The burner size and quantity
b. The flame velocity
c. The fuel type and pressure
d. The combustor type
2. Control methodology
3. Ignition system
4. Flame monitoring system
5. Combustion air system: blower and air pressure switch
6. Main gas shut-off valve train selection
7. Process temperature control system
Burner size and quantity
Select the size and number of burners based on the heat bal-
ance. For heat balance calculations, refer to the Combustion
Engineering Guide (EFE 825).
Performance data, dimensions and specifications are given for
each ThermJet model in Data Sheets 205-1 through 205-13
Flame velocity
Each burner size comes in two versions, High or Medium
Velocity. Select the version needed based on requirements for
temperature uniformity, circulation, chamber size, air pressure
and overall operating costs.
Flame velocity information is available in Data Sheets 205-1
through 205-13
