7. Prior to start up check that all plant components are in good working condition. 8. Never remove, disable, defeat, or bypass any safety device on this equipment. 9. Make no modifications to your PHOENIX Talon Burner without the recommendation or approval of a representative of ASTEC Burner Group, Engineering, or Service Departments. -

ASTEC Burner Systems Group, or ASTEC’s Service Department.) General Burner Information The PHOENIX Talon is designed to provide maximum firing capability with a minimum of noise and pollution. With its compact flame shape, the PHOENIX Talon provides the ideal means for drying aggregate. The flame shape is pre-set at the factory for the most efficient profile for your drum and burner configuration. -

“puffing” at the breeching plate.) 6. The air flow in the PHOENIX Talon can be monitored using the pressure tap on the side of the burner blower housing. (The air pressure for a given flow is in the individual burner capacity tables.) 7. -
Page 8: Combustion Flighting
The ASTEC Parts Department can supply combustion flights designed for your application. Operation The PHOENIX Talon utilizes a variable frequency drive (VFD) to control the combustion air blower. The fuel valve(s) have independent control motors, or actuators. (There is no mechanical linkage between the fuel and air controls.) -

Page 11: Adjustments
Because all combustion systems are inherently dangerous only qualified and experienced personnel should attempt to start-up and adjust PHOENIX burner systems. Qualified personnel are defined as those trained by the ASTEC Burner Systems Group, or ASTEC Service Department. Experienced personnel are defined as those who have previously fired an ASTEC Phoenix Burner, under the supervision of the ASTEC Burner Systems Group, or ASTEC Service Department. -

7. Check burner blower rotation. Rotation should be clockwise from the motor end. Burner Pilot System The PHOENIX Talon incorporates a forced-air pilot system. The Pilot and the main flame are monitored by a single Ultra Violet (UV) flame detector attached to the burner, and is included in the complete burner package. -

PHOENIX Talon - Operation and Service Manual Illustration 5 – Typical Pilot Gas Train Adjustment and Operation of the Pilot System 1. Use Natural Gas (NG) or Liquid Propane (LP) vapor only to fuel the pilot. WARNING! Never connect the LP fuel line to the pilot from the bottom of the LP tank. LP would likely be sent to the pilot, where it could quickly boil off, causing either an explosion or fire in the burner. -

Page 16: Table 5 - Natural Gas Regulators
PHOENIX Talon - Operation and Service Manual NOTE: The low and high gas pressure switches should be set just above and below the safe operating range of gas inlet pressures respectively. This should be individually determined on each installation. Typically this would be 50% of the running pressure for the low gas pressure switch and 125% of the operating pressure for the high gas pressure switch. - Page 17 PHOENIX Talon - Operation and Service Manual 9. Natural Gas flow is to be determined by the differential across the gas orifice plate, and can be correlated to a gas flow using the provided Burner Performance Sheets located in the burner junction...

PHOENIX Talon - Operation and Service Manual Heavy Oil Fuel Piping System WARNING! Be very careful with Heavy oil: Heavy oil has to be heated to lower its viscosity for proper atomization. Do not heat the Heavy oil higher that it’s vapor point, to avoid fire. - Page 21 PHOENIX Talon - Operation and Service Manual They can even cause pipes to burst causing damage and possible injury. Set the oil heater temperature regulator, and the indicating low oil temperature switch (located on the burner’s oil manifold) to the temperature determined in item 2b above.
