Industrial Gas Burner
An industrial gas burner is a device that mixes fuel gas (e.g. natural gas, propane) with air and ignites the mixture to produce a controlled high-temperature flame. It is used
Type of Product
Industrial burners are categorized by several factors:
- Fuel Type: Burners may use natural gas, propane, or even multi-fuel (liquid or gaseous). Some burners (e.g. oxy-fuel burners) use oxygen instead of air for higher flame temperatures.
- Mixing Method: Atmospheric burners (no blower; air is drawn in by suction) vs forced-draft burners (air blower) vs premix burners (gas and air mixed before the burner head for more uniform flame) vs staged/recuperative/regenerative burners for energy efficiency.
- Flame Type: High-intensity “blue flame” burner’s vs low-emissivity radiant tube burners (for infrared heat)
- Construction: Monoblock burners (one-piece design) vs separate head burners (separate combustion head and blower). Also, indirect-fired burners (combustion products contained) vs direct-fired burners.
- Automation Level: Manual ignition vs automatic electronic ignition; fixed-rate burners vs modulating burners (adjust flame size via valves). Advanced systems include flame monitoring (UV sensors) and digital controls.
Applications in Various Industries
Industrial burners provide process heat in nearly all heating-intensive industries:
