1550 SERIES LUMIFLAME® ULTRA3 LOW NOX TM HOT OR COLD AIR BURNER

Product catalog summary

Capabilities
The 1550 Series Lumiflame® Ultra3 burners offer high heat release rates with moderate air pressure, good turndown characteristics, and stable operation from cold start-up through normal operating temperatures. They maintain stability with high excess air through ratio firing and operate with low NOx emissions regardless of furnace temperature. The flame is luminous, well-formed, and directed.

Features
The burners are constructed with rugged materials and include a refractory baffle for stable operation and protection from radiation. They are suitable for furnace temperatures up to 2600°F (1427°C) and include provisions for UV monitoring. The design does not require external exhaust gas recirculation for NOx control.

Applications
These burners are applicable in continuous reheat furnaces, aluminum melters and holders, glass melters, forge furnaces, car type heat treating furnaces, ladle heaters, and many other industrial applications.

NOx Control Methods
The burners utilize baffle design, nozzle configuration, port geometry, and adjustable air staging to control NOx emissions effectively.

Emissions
The burners achieve the lowest NOx emissions without the need for external exhaust gas recirculation. CO emissions are low and often undetectable, with low hydrogen concentrations.

Fuel Capabilities
The burners can operate on natural gas, commercial gases, many by-product gases, and most fuel oils, including #6 oil.

Unique Features
The burners are designed for both hot and cold air use, with NOx emissions up to 70% lower than other low NOx burners. They maintain stability from start-up through maximum operating temperature.

Burner Operation and Stability
The burners use a baffle concept for stabilization and low NOx emissions, even in cold furnaces. Adjustable air staging is used for NOx reduction, and all fuel is introduced through a single center nozzle.

CO and Hydrogen Emissions
Exceptionally low carbon monoxide emissions are achieved, often below 50 ppm, with hydrogen concentrations similar to CO.

Flame Characteristics
The design promotes mixing of furnace gases with the flame to retard NOx production while maintaining a luminous flame.

Mechanical Features
The burners feature a baffle that acts as a radiation shield and provides stable operation with low maintenance costs.

General Dimensions
The document provides detailed dimensions for various models, emphasizing the importance of consulting a Bloom representative for certified dimensions for construction.

Caution
Improper use of combustion equipment can be hazardous. Users are urged to comply with National Safety Standards and Insurance Underwriters recommendations.
