Unfortunately, thick-wall kiln designs present problems for conventional industrial burners.The nozzles’ shorter design causes overheating to occur within the industrial furnace wall, and the burners do not have sufficient exit velocities to allow hot gases to thoroughly penetrate the load. These conditions cause problems with temperature control and heat uniformity, leading to product spoilage from cracking or inadequate curing.
A new burner* has been developed specifically to solve problems inherent to thick-wall kiln applications. Designed to extend completely through the kiln wall, the burner places the flame directly in the kiln for maximum heat and circulation. The burner’s nozzle-mix design fires an intense stream of hot gases through a silicon carbide-tipped extended combustor.
