Hi,
I have a Pheonix SH Blower that I would like to move off the burner to a remote location, do you sell the piping connections to do so? The fan can not be located directly on top of the burner for our application.

The Phoenix SH (Simple Heat) packaged burner is a direct-fired nozzle- mix burner, that utilizes an integral air blower designed to operate with fixed combustion air over a wide turndown range. The Phoenix SH burners are available in three models all with straight combustors. SH100 (1,000,000 Btu/hr) ...
Installation Major Components The Phoenix SH Burners consists of the following components (Refer to Figure 1.2): Burner Body Burner Nozzle Burner Rear Cover Combustor Fuel Inlet Block Blower Mounting Block Igniter Flame Rod or UV Scanner Adapter ...
Installation 2. INSTALLATION Handling Verify that the area is clean. Protect the burner from weather, dirt and moisture. Protect burner from excessive temperature and humidity. Transport in original shipping container. Use appropriate support equipment, i.e. harnesses, straps, ...
Installation Checklist Before Installation Intake To allow use of fresh combustion air from outdoors, provide an opening in the room of at least one square inch per 4,000 BTU/hr. In the presence of corrosive fumes or materials in the surrounding environment, supply burner with clear air from an uncontaminated area or provide a filtering system which shall not impede burner operation.
Installing the Flame Supervision Both flame rod and UV scanner flame supervision options are offered with Phoenix SH burners (Refer to igure 2.1) . Check Phoenix SH specification sheet to verify availability. CAUTION: 7000-volt ignition transformer must be used to supply power to igniter.
Installation Installing the Igniter Verify the gap between the center electrode and grounding rod is no less than 1.5mm and no more than 2.0mm. Install the igniter into the opening opposite to the flame supervision in the rear cover (Refer to Figure 2.1) CAUTION: Do NOT apply any assembly compound to the threads of the igniter.
Installation Burner Mounting Mount the burner to the chamber wall using customer supplied M10 X 1.5mm bolts (4X) and M10 lock washers (4X). Verify the gasket that was supplied with the burner is installed between the burner and the chamber wall. Verify the gasket does not leak.
Supply Piping Inlet pressure to the ratio regulator (if supplied) should be as specified on the Phoenix SH Specification Sheet. It should not exceed the maximum pressure rating of the ratio regulator. Locate the valve train close to the burner. The gas must ...
Supply Piping Inlet pressure to the ratio regulator should be no less than inlet pressure specified in the Phoenix SH specification sheet. It should not exceed the maximum rated pressure of the ratio regulator. Locate the valve train close to the burner. The gas must ...
Installation Prepare for Start Up/Adjustment After installation of the burner system components is complete, the following shall be followed to prepare for adjustment: Set the air flow switch so that is drops out at 20% below the maximum pressure of the combustion air blower. Set the low gas pressure switch at 20% below the gas ...
Initial Setup Upon adjustment of a Phoenix SH Burner for the first time, you must follow the steps listed below to ensure proper setup and operation. Each step listed are explained in full detail in the next sections.
WARNING: This procedure assumes burner is installed with a flame monitoring control system and is serviceable. It also assumes normal low fire setpoint is being used, refer to the Phoenix SH specification sheet. If low fire gas is too low to be used for ignition consider increasing low fire.
Adjust fuel control valve until gas differential pressure value aligns with high fire value in Phoenix SH specification sheet. NOTE: The Phoenix SH gas orifice is sized to optimize performance for 10% excess air at high-fire. Once chamber pressure and temperature conditions ...
Maintenance/Commissioning Step 5: Stop Procedure WARNING: Do not turn the combustion air blower off until the chamber temperature is below 250°F (121°C). This will prevent hot gases from back flowing into the burner and blower causing damage to the burner. Stop the burner through the burner control system.
Maintenance/Commissioning 4. Maintenance Maintenance Preventative maintenance is the key to a reliable, safe and efficient system. The core of any preventive maintenance system is a list of periodic tasks. The following are suggestions for monthly and annual checks: NOTE: The monthly and yearly lists are an average interval. In the case of a dirty environment, service interval may need to be shortened.
Maintenance/Commissioning Annual Checklist Inspect flame supervision devices for good condition and cleanliness. Check for proper inlet air/gas ratios. Test all the alarm systems for proper signals. Check igniters for proper gap. Check valve motors and control valves for free, smooth ...
