When it comes to establishing a successful installation of heating equipment in the industrial world, it is important to make sure the burner is of the right type. It also needs to be efficient, optimize its task and be considerate of the environment. In some instances, the ideal candidate is a round burner.
What does a Burner Do?
Whether it is considered round or not, an industrial burner has a task to do. This is true for multi or single ring burners. A round gas burner has the capability of melting a variety of metals and other elements. These include:
- Aluminum
- Lead
- Tin
- Solder
- Babbitt
- Zinc
A round burner can also be employed in other industrial tasks. It can clean and hot rinse a tank. It can also heat or evaporate materials in water tanks, kettles or vats. Micro brewing and food processing plants also can employ an industrial burner.
Fuel Concerns
Gas is the most common source of fuel for a burner. This can be natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and propane. It is not, however, the only one. On the market burners are available that utilize other fuels including oil and electricity. It depends upon the producer and the intended use of the burner as well as such things as efficiency, cost of gas, oil or electricity in the region and similar factors.
Style or Format
A burner can be a singular object. It can also be one of many circular rings. A round burner can be comprised of several gas ring segments. In the more sophisticated models, each round burner ring will come with its own shut off gas cock as well as a separate Venturi. There are also bar burners available. They use natural gas and propane.
Size will dictate usage. If you wish to use a round burner to heat an industrial furnace, the best choice is one large in diameter. If the purpose concerns the procedures of cutting and welding, a smaller burner is superior. Whether large or small, the burner will need to be designed carefully in order to be able to work within the appropriate heat range required of it.
If your company plans to utilize a round burner in any manufacturing procedure, it is always best to research first. Consider the options in size, shape and purpose. Be sure you understand the specifics including fuel type, cost, efficiency, maintenance issues and safety features. Only after you are certain the burner meets all the company’s requirements should a purchase be made. To do otherwise is not a solid option.
