Low-NOx XCL-S Burner Mechanical Design Features

Components

Features

1 I-Jet oil gun

Produces a finer oil spray, reduces particulate and opacity emissions,

minimizes atomizer plugging

2 Linear actuator

Easily adjusts the main air sliding damper position for light-off, full-load and
out-of-service cooling

3 Core air damper

Adjusts core air flow to the oil gun or gas spuds for optimizing combustion

4 Sliding air damper

Adjusts the majority of secondary air flow to the outer air zone, independent
of swirl, to balance air flow among burners during commissioning

5 Air measurement grid

Ensures an accurate indication of relative air flow with a multi-point

impact/suction device

6 Externally adjustable spin vanes

Provide proper mixing of the secondary air and fuel (to the end of the flame)
vane position is optimized and fixed during commissioning

7 Adjustable hemispherical gas spuds

Can be rotated to optimize NOx reduction and are removable while

the boiler is in service

8 Burner support system

Supports the burner and allows for differential expansion

Optional Isolation Valves

Each design feature incorporated in the low-NOx XCL-S Burner

has been refined to allow maximum NOx reduction with
optimum combustion efficiency.

NOx compliance in new or retrofit applications can be achieved

with the low-NOx XCL-S Burner for oil and gas. It can be supplied as
a stand-alone plug-in or as part of a complete NOx reduction system
that includes overfire air and/or flue gas recirculation.

A typical low-NOx oil- and gas-fired XCL-S Burner.The linear actuator

(at the top of the burner) moves the sliding air damper, which controls
the majority of secondary air flow to the burner. The hemispherical
gas spuds can be rotated to minimize NOx emissions or removed for
inspection while the boiler is in service.
