Boilers
Boiler burners convert fuel into controlled heat to generate steam or hot water. Because boilers operate continuously and are tightly linked to plant safety, burner selection and commissioning should prioritize stability, reliable flame supervision, and repeatable control.
Common requirements
- Wide turndown ratio to match varying steam demand.
- Low emissions (NOx/CO) with stable ignition and flame.
- Reliable purge, ignition, and flame safeguard sequence.
- Draft control and air leakage management for efficiency.
- Fuel train compliance and proper pressure regulation.
Sizing notes
Burner capacity should match boiler heat input requirements across expected load points. Oversizing can increase cycling and losses; undersizing can limit steam output and cause instability.
