ADVANTAGES OF DUCT BURNERS OVER
TRADITIONAL FORCED AIR

• Less pressure drop

• More optimized design
• More linear air regulation
• Shorter combustion chambers
• Less weight of materials
• Shorter flames

MATERIALS TO BE USED IN HOT GAS GENERATORS

E & M manufactures all of its

burners and combustion
chambers using high quality
materials such as high quality
AISI 310 refractory steels for
flame-sensitive burner areas
or refractory material
resistant to temperatures of
1,650 ° C where there is a risk
of where the flame can touch
the chamber.

 AUTOMATION AND ENERGY SAVING
AUTOMATION
The hot gas generators designed by E & M
Combustion operate in a completely automated
way. E & M Combustion designs and installs in the
compact unit the electrical boxes in which it The burners use electronic control units which have the following
integrates the regulation systems that allow the advantages:
automatic and precise operation of the system.
 All control and regulation functions are integrated in one single device,
including sequences of ignition, security controls, P.I.D regulation,
leakage test and flame detection Systems
 It remarkable increases the precision of the regulation, avoiding
mechanical hystereseis produced in rods and cams of the traditional
regulation. This is operated by the transmission of electrical pulses to
individual actuatos
 They can control up to four channels
 It incorporates a visualisation display of information that can quickly
show the state of the burner as well as fault memories and hours of
operation
 Presents and external connection to P.C. or to P.L.C. bus system
 Reduces time of commisioning due to pre-regulations in the factory

ENERGY SAVING

These switchboards also

allow the use of frequency
inverters to save electricity.
The inverters generate a
saving of electrical energy
and reduction of the level of
noise that can be quantified
