Introduction RODUCT The ImmersoJet (IJ) is a nozzle-mix tube-firing burner that is designed to fire at high velocities through small diameter ESCRIPTION immersion tubes. The standard burner includes a packaged blower, actuator control motor, integral butterfly valve, ratio regulator, burner body, combustion chamber, nozzle (specific to fuel used), rear cover, spark and flame rods, and gas orifice (also specific to fuel used).

System Design Designing a burner system is a straightforward exercise. The ESIGN steps are: 1. Burner model selection. a. Determine net input required for the tank or process b. Select tube efficiency c. Calculate gross input required d. Select burner model 2.

Applications requiring special consideration: URNER ODEL ImmersoJet burners are used for firing spray wash tanks, dip tanks, ELECTION CONTINUED and storage tanks such as those used for fire sprinkler systems. Generally, the small bore system can be used wherever conventional immersion burner systems are used, except where high heat flux off the small bore tube can break down the tanks contents.
S S S S S 2: 2: 2: 2: 2: Determine effective tube length ESIGN Find the required effective tube length using the previously selected tube efficiency, net heat input values and the following figures 3.2. or 3.3. The effective length of a tube is the total centerline length of tube covered by liquid.

Detailed guidelines for flue sizing calculations are in the Dilution air Eclipse Combustion Engineering Guide (EFE 825). Tube exhaust Draft breaking hood A draft breaking hood is an open connection between the heater tube exhaust and the exhaust stack.
S S S S S 3: 3: 3: 3: 3: Control methodology ONTROL ImmersoJet burners use a modulating on-ratio control system YSTEM as shown in Figure 3.3. To control the heat delivered by the burner, adjust the air flow to the burner. The gas flow will change in proportion to the air flow.
For the ignition system you should use: S S S S S 4: 4: 4: 4: 4: GNITION YSTEM • 6000 VAC transformers • full wave spark transformers • one transformer per burner. Do not use: • 10,000 VAC transformers •...
The density of the air decreases, and as a result, the outlet pressure and the flow of the blower decrease. An accurate description of these effects is in the Eclipse Combustion Engineering Guide (EFE 825). The Guide contains tables to calculate the effect of pressure, altitude and temperature on air.

Blower OMBUSTION The rating of the blower must match the system requirements. YSTEM CONTINUED You can find all the blower data in Bulletin 610. Follow these steps: 1. Calculate the outlet pressure. When calculating the outlet pressure of the blower, the total of these pressures must be calculated.

Application example: OMBUSTION A designer of a spray washer has determined the heat input for the YSTEM CONTINUED water tank requires 857,500 Btu/hr. Based on the size of his tank, he has selected a tube efficiency of 70% which results in a gross burner input of 1,225,000 Btu/hr.
The shut-off valve train must comply with all the local safety standards set by the authorities that have jurisdiction. For details, please contact your local Eclipse Combustion representative or Eclipse Combustion. Note...

YMBOL PPEARANCE EMARKS ULLETIN NFO GUIDE A ratio regulator is used to control the air/gas ratio. The ratio regulator is a sealed unit that adjusts the gas flow in ratio with the air flow. To do this, it measures the air pressure with a Ratio regulator pressure sensing line, the impulse line.
