An Industrial Gas Burner is a device designed to mix fuel and air in precise proportions and ignite the mixture to produce controlled combustion for generating heat in industrial processes. These burners are used in furnaces, boilers, ovens, kilns, and dryers across a wide range of industries such as chemical processing, food production, metalworking, and power generation.
An Industrial Gas Burner consists of several key components:
- Fuel Supply System – Delivers gaseous, liquid, or solid fuels (e.g., natural gas, diesel, heavy oil, propane, or biogas) to the burner.
- Air Supply System – Provides the required combustion air, often with adjustable dampers or blowers to control airflow.
- Mixing Head / Nozzle – Ensures thorough mixing of fuel and air for efficient combustion.
- Ignition System – Initiates combustion, typically using a spark plug, pilot flame, or electronic igniter.
- Flame Monitoring System – Detects flame presence (via UV or IR sensors) to ensure safety and prevent unburned fuel release.
- Control System – Regulates fuel–air ratio, temperature, and firing rate to maintain desired heat output and efficiency.
