Burner System

ACE Metal Fibre Burner

ACE Metal Fibre Burners are available as an alternative to the traditional ceramic plaques which have been widely used in the past. The burners completely overcome the problems of slow heat up and cool down associated with other types of burner. The low thermal mass and rapid heat dissipation characteristics provide a surface' which is cool enough to handle within seconds of turning off.

 

 

Radiant Mode

200-900 kilowatts per m² surface area

 

 

 

Non Radiant Mode

1000-3600 kilowatts per m² surface area

In break down situations, when materials being treated remain static under the heater, these features reduce the risk of fire.

All the many varieties of burners available can be supplied with a combustion and heat control package to current standards and can be designed by ACE engineers to meet your exact requirements.

As all combustion takes place within the metal surface of the porous metal at a low tem-perature, emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and unburnt fuel components are very low.

Technical Data

Various other shapes and sizes available to suit application. Contact ACE for details.

 

CONSTRUCTION

The permeable medium of MiF burners is constructed from fine metal fibres sintered together to produce a rigid but highly porous panel. The fibres are manufactured from Fecralloy by a sophisticated process and the medium is available in thickness of between 1 and 4mm. The burner plenum would normally be of mild steel with all contact parts in stainless steel.

 

CONTROLS

A full range of control equipment is available to British Gas and British Standard requirements. Flame supervision by ionisation probe or u.v. (Ultraviolet) detection. Control boxes by Satronic or Landis & Gyr.

 

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Suitable for all combustible gasses with outputs from 200 to 900kw/m² in the radiant mode and from 1000 to 3600 kW/m² in the non-radiant mode.

 

APPLICATIONS

Textile finishing, drying, curing and calendar roller heating. Paint drying and curing, glass industry for pre-heating, controlled cooling etc. Paper industry for curing, drying and finishing.
