MEDIUM VELOCITY GAS OR OIL BURNERS

TECHNICAL CATALOG

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Combustion air enters the burner body and is swirled out
into the burner block through the internal air orifice plate.
The KINEMAX® burner is a nozzle-mixing, medium velocity Low pressure gas enters the burner body and exits to the
burner. It provides a stream of hot combustion gases that block through machined ports in the gas nozzle.

temperature uniformity and workload penetration. The gas and air are intimately mixed in the cast burner

The air/fuel mixing design allows for the burner to be the fuel/air mixture directly in front of the nozzle face.
operated on ratio throughout the firing range, with excess
air up to 4700% for some sizes or with excess fuel. Pilot gas is introduced directly behind the gas ports in the
gas nozzle and essentially flows through to the burner

[4] When gas firing on series C burners, a ½” diameter by-pass line is necessary to keep atomizing air passage purged.
When oil firing, the use of a flame rod for flame detection is not possible. Atomizing air should be fresh and not pre-
heated, indicated air pressures and flows should always be available over the entire capacity range.
[5] Pilot gas must be regulated separately to 3”wc-4”wc at pilot inlet. For light off with full excess air however, pilot must
be increased to the indicated main burner minimum capacity, requiring considerably higher gas pressures.
