S300 Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner with HATZ 4H50TIC Diesel Engine
OPERATING MANUAL
SITE PREPARATION
Faster operation through staging the wood piles
Air Burners FireBoxes were designed primarily as a pollution control device, but oper-
ated correctly they will burn clean wood two or three times faster than open burning.
To achieve the best throughput, the fire must remain at the highest temperature possi-
ble. You achieve this by remembering three rules:
1) Don't smother the fire with a huge load or a load of very dense material.
2) Load "less more often" smaller bucket loads more often.
3) Sort out a pile of your best burnable wood and use it to create a hot fire.
The basic principle
of operation is not
too different from a
campfire. You use
your best wood to
get it started, and if
the fire dies down
you add some
more "good wood"
to bring it back up.
The big difference
is that on your
campfire you are
probably not add-
ing root balls and
leaves and pine needles. These are the high moisture content and dense materials
that bring the fire temperature down.
The temperature drops (smoke increases) and your burn rate slows down, if you over-
load the machine with materials that have high moisture content, such as tree branch-
es with leaves and needles, or green branches such as palm fronds. While these are
certainly ok to burn in the FireBox, you want to add them to a hot fire so they dry out
and ignite quickly. To keep the temperature up and to maintain the highest throughput
of waste, you should mix the very burnable wood with the less burnable materials
throughout the course of the burning operation. The most common way to accomplish
"If it's burning clean it's burning hot; if there is smoke, you're losing money."
