Page 5: Principle Of Air Curtain Incineration
® BurnBoss T24 Air Curtain Burner (Kubota Z482-E4 Engine) OPERATING MANUAL PRINCIPLE OF AIR CURTAIN INCINERATION OPERATION Air curtain burners are designed primarily as a pollution control device. Using a diesel engine driven fan, these machines generate a curtain of air with a very particular mass flow and velocity. This cur- tain of air acts as a trap over the top of an earthen trench or thermal ceramic lined firebox.
