Applications include ovens, dryers, fume incinerators, and similar industrial equipment. The “AH” models feature an integral combustion air blower mounted on the back of the burner’s steel case. By supplying the correct air volume and pressure to the burner, the blower allows stable operation over a wide range of duct veloci- ties without installing a profile plate around the burner.
For estimates of emissions performance in your application, call Eclipse. Packaging Options: Available with complete valve trains and control systems. AH burners and systems can be supplied mounted on duct sections as specified by the customer. Call Eclipse for information on custom packaged systems.

Control System Requirements Turndown Method Input is normally controlled by a motorized butterfly valve in the gas line to the burner. Regulator Loading Lines Connect the top diaphragm chambers of the main gas and pilot gas regulators to the duct approximately 10" downstream of the burner. This will allow the regulators to maintain a constant supply pressure to the burner regardless of varying pressures in the duct.

In-Duct Min./Max. Velocity: 500 to 6000 fpm 2.54 to 30.48 m/s Optimum Velocity: 1000 to 4000 fpm 5.08 to 20.32 m/s • Provide at least 3" (76 mm) clear- ance between burner and top, bot- tom and sides of the duct. •...

The mounting flange or brackets supplied with an AH burner are capable of sup- porting the weight of the burner and blower. The AH burner case itself is de- signed to support the weight of the blower, so the blower does not require inde- pendent support.
Start-Up And Adjustment Set Air Pressure Drop Measure the air pressure drop across the burner as shown in Figure 7. Turn the disc on the blower air inlet until the air pressure drop is between 0.4" w.c. minimum and 1.0" w.c. maximum. For a given input, lower air pressure drops will produce a longer flame, and higher drops will produce a shorter flame.
