Boilers, Burners, and Boiler Room Equipment: Understanding Combustion SystemsBoilers, Burners, and Boiler Room Equipment: Understanding Combustion Systems



A burner is a form of furnace, where the source of energy and heat is the combustion of fuel – whether liquid or gas at high temperatures. To achieve this type of furnace, outside the fuel burner or air heats the inside of the room by burning, transforming the hot air into steam. The exterior of the room becomes hot from thethe steamand the inside remains warmbecause the gas or liquid fuels to heat up the inside via chemical reactions. The boiler is usually combined with an air compressor. The compressor pumps the gases and water into the room, ensuring an even temperature.

Burner Combustion Systems provides boiler burners and combustion systems. Burners are typically paired with othertypes of furnaces in order for better heating. They can make use of gas, oil or coal to heat the burner. Some boilers operate by using spark plugs that are electric to ignite gaseous fuel while others utilize venturi valves to let certain amounts of fuel to escape so that the gaseous fuel used actually burns quicker than the amount consumed. Combination boilersthat are fueled by both gas and electricity are the most well-known.

Burner Combustion Systems is a unique sales and service company for commercial and industrial boilers, burners and all other boiler room equipment.  Burner Combustion Systems offers sales, service, and boiler rentals for on-demand modular steam systems and cutting edge burners and burner management systems from many manufacturers.

To understand the connection between the components of a burnerit is important to be aware of the process of combustion itself. The actual combustion of a liquid or gas occurs at the end of a passage through a pipe. Although there are many parts of the flue gas, its main function is to allow combustible gases to flow through it until they reach the burner`s end. The combustion chamber is where the fuel is ignited. When the combustion takes place, gaseous vapors are released into the air and are absorbed into the air we breathe.

There are two major styles of arrangement for burnersthat are top-down or bottom-up. In a top-down arrangement, the flame from the burner is situated on the edges of the stack. A bottom-up arrangement allows for the flame to belocated closer to the middle of the stack where it can be easier for the flame to catch fire and start the process of combustion. Both types can be powered by one or more sources of electricity, such an engine that uses steamgasoline engine, steam engine, or diesel engine.

Modern steam boilers feature a variety of design characteristics. These include a bottom flue to ensure the highest efficiency, a closed vent boiler room, variable heat and volume control and direct feed burners that have variable feed rates. There are many ways to design steam boilers to achieve the desired result. Some boilers can be designed to produce direct heat. This means that hot water is circulated around the room via a pipe and not vented out.

Another characteristic is that the majority modern boilers feature a variable firing rate. Variable firing rates control the quantity of combustion that is involved in the heating process of a boiler. If the combustion takes place at a high speedthe temperature of the hot water within the boiler becomes too high and the boiler could overheat. When this happens, the boiler shuts down. happens. It will do so until the boiler is cool enough to allow it to resume heating output. Variable firing rate systems are usually achieved through the addition of a turbo variable firing unit. Variable valve configurations are available on some of the more costly steam boilers. This permits the temperature ofthe incoming waters to be controlled.
