BURNER CONTROLLERS
A gas burner is a device that is used for mixing a gaseous
fuel with oxygen and feeding this mixture to an outlet
where it gets ignited and forms a stable combustion front.
The invention of the gas burner increased the use of gas
sharply. The fuel gases which were initially used for
lighting street lights, started being used for a lot of
different purposes. This increasing number of uses also
led to several new construction patterns and design principles.
Types of Burners
Based on the pressure of the gas that is applied to the burner, burners can
be classified into the following types:
Low Pressure Burners: The pressure of the gases that are applied to
the low pressure burners are upto 5 kilo Newtons per square meter
(kN/m²) or 0.05 kilogram force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²)
Medium Pressure Burners: The pressure of the gases that are
applied to the medium pressure burners are between 5 to 300 kilo
Newtons per square meter (kN/m²) or 0.05 to 3.0 kilogram force
per square centimeter (kgf/cm²)
High Pressure Burners: The pressure of the gases that are applied to
the low pressure burners are more than 300 kilo Newtons per square
meter (kN/m²) or 3.0 kilogram force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²)
The main components or parts of a burner are:
The Mixer: The mixer is the part of the burner where the mixing of the
fuel gases and oxygen takes place and feeds it to the outlet, i.e the nozzle.
The Nozzle: The nozzle is the outlet of the burner through which the
feeded mixture is ignited and forms a stable combustion front.
