Gas. Atomizing air (6”wgminimum) should be left on to protect the
atomizer. Maximum required natural gas pressure at the burner for
stoichiometric ratiois about 25%of the combustion air pressure.
Air/Fuel Ratio. 3514 Dual-Fuel Burners are stable with at least 100%
xces air. They also can operate with xces fuel without root formation,
but additional air for complete combustion must be available in the
furnacenear the burner.
Turndown. FireAll Burners can be turned down to atomizing air only (with fuel to match) except when burning residual
oils in a cold, tight furnace. For prolonged operation on atomizing air only, specify an alloy burner nose if furnace temperature is above 850oC.
Hot Air. 3514 Burners are designed for use with ambient air. They are suitable for some preheated air applications
where the burner can with stand upto 350oC.
FLAME SUPERVISION
Flame safeguards are recommendedfor all installations. An ultraviolet cellwillmonitor pilot ormainflame. ilotsmust
be interrupted after a preset ignition period (usually 15 seconds) so flame detectorsmonitor main flame only. Purge

BURNER BLOCKS / INSTALLATION
Burner blocks are cast refractory rated for 1500oC furnace temperature. They are replaceable in the field, except for
the 3514-10A whose mounting must be returned to the factory for burner block replacement (or purchase a spare
mounting plate with a burner block cast onto it). Burner blocks should be supported securely in the furnace wall by a
layer of castable refractory (not insulation) at least 9" thick all around the burner block, extending back to the furnace
shell and securely anchored to it. For furnace walls thicker than the length of the burner block, the tunnel beyond the
end of the burner block should be flared 30-45oC from the centerline, starting at the OD of the burner block.
Jacketed Burner Blocks. 3514 Burners are available with support jackets around the burner block for applications
where the burner block is not supported by furnace refractory. Jackets are available in three different metals and
have maximum temperature ratings for each. They must be protected with sufficient insulation so as not to exceed
rated temperature. Maximum temperature rating for jacket metals depends upon frequency of heat-up/cool-down
cycles. As an example, batch annealing furnaces that are heated and cooled every day should use the "intermittent
exposure" ratings. Continuous annealing furnaces that remain at the same temperature formonths at a time, can use
the higher "continuous" rating.
