What is a burner?
Our burners are forced-air burners. Manufactured with high-quality components, they offer high performance, enhanced reliability and durability, as well as compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
Burner history
Early burners used the principle of atmospheric combustion, where fuel was mixed with ambient air and burned in an open combustion chamber. These burners were simple and economical, but had drawbacks such as high pollutant emissions and limited energy efficiency.
During the 20th century, forced-air burners became popular for their ability to provide an optimum mixture of fuel and air, enabling more complete and efficient combustion. Forced-air burners use a fan to deliver pressurized air to the burner, promoting precise control of the air-fuel ratio and reducing pollutant emissions.
Pre-mix burners are a further evolution of forced-air burners, introducing an additional stage where the fuel is pre-mixed with air before being introduced into the combustion chamber. This ensures a homogeneous, stable mixture, promoting more efficient combustion and further reducing pollutant emissions. But they are often more complex and costly. Pre-mix burners are widely used in industrial applications where strict emission standards must be met.
Burner components
is used to supply oil burners. It is connected from the oil storage tank to the burner. To avoid shortages or surpluses, the nozzle is used to disperse the oil in droplets, facilitating its mixing with air, and ensuring high combustion efficiency.
Safety system
reacts directly to the light emitted by the flame, allowing the burner to be shut down immediately (i) if the flame does not appear when the fuel is released, (ii) if the flame disappears during operation, and (iii) if a stray flame appears while the burner is starting up. The aim is to avoid spraying fuel oil into a boiler without burning it. Inadvertent ignition of a flooded furnace could cause an explosion.
