INCINI-CONE
BURNERS
SERIES IC

Series IC Incini-Cone Burners are plug-in gas oil burners for heating process exhaust streams containing pollutants.
Although designed specifically for fume incinerators, they can be used for other direct-fired air heating applications
where they are suited.
Nine sizes of burners are catalogued, with high fire capacities ranging from 1.36 to 14.8 million Btu/hr.
APPLICATION PARAMETERS
Maximum Process Stream Temperature Into Burner: 1100F
Maximum Process Stream Outlet Temperature: 1650F
Maximum Process Stream P Across Burner: 2-3" wc with stream at nominal operating temp.
Minimum Process Stream P Across Burner: 0.5" wc
Process Stream Flow Turndown: 2 to 1, based on 2" wc maximum drop. Turndown can be extended to 2.45 to 1 if 3"
wc P is taken at high flow.
Process Stream Oxygen content: 13% or more. Burners maximum firing rate may have to be reduced in oxygen
deficient process streams. Check with the Eclipse factory for sizing guidelines.
Maximum Burner Fuel Turndown: 26 to 1, based on burner's nominal maximum input. See Table 1 for minimum
firing rates.
Fuels:
Natural Gas: Select gas jets to provide 30-35" wc drop at high fire.
Other Gases: We have no performance data on other gases - check with factory before quoting.
Maximum Flame Length: Approximately three times the diameter of the burner cone (D , Fig. 4).
C

Flame Supervision: UV scanner only. Flame rods cannot be fitted.

Piloting: Special Eclipse 3-EP Extended Pilot with 131 pilot mixer. Interrupted pilot operation recommended.
Emissions Levels Downstream of Burner:
NOX: typically, less than 300 ppm
CO: less than 100 ppm if combustion chamber is 1300 F or hotter, and incoming fume stream contains at least
16% oxygen by volume.

Figure 1Heat Input Requirement

Burner Sizing

In the example shown on the graph, inlet process

stream temperature is 670F, and desired outlet temperature is 1300F. This requires 870 Btu/hr. per
scfm.
(Note: On cold startup, process stream temperature
will probably be lower than normal operating conditions. Therefore, cold stream flow may have to be limited if design outlet temperatures are to be held.)

2000
Btu/Hr Required Per SCFM of Process Stream

Enter the bottom of Figure 1 at the temperature of the

process stream as it enters the burner. Read up to the
curve representing the desired stream outlet temperature and then left to the Btu/hr. required per scfm of
process stream. Multiply this figure times the scfm of
process stream flow at high fire (from Table I). This is
the required Btu input from the burner at high fire.

Check gas jet sizing for low fire conditions

Using Figure 1, determine Btu/hr required at minimum process flow conditions. Multiply this figure by the low fire process
stream flow, scfm, you entered in Table I. Compare this figure with the minimum firing rate for the burner and gas gun you
selected from Table II. It should not be lower than the minimum firing rate in Table II. If it is, the gas turndown requirements of the application exceed the capabilities of the Incini-Cone burner.
PROFILE RING SIZING
Best performance and operating economy result from operating with a high fire process stream pressure drop of 2" wc
across the Incini-Cone burner. Minimum (low fire) process stream drop across the burner is 0.5" wc to insure thorough
mixing and incineration of contaminants. This provides 4 to 1 pressure drop turndown (approximately 2 to 1 flow turndown). If higher turndowns are required, the high fire process stream drop can be increased up to 3" wc (approximately
2.45 to 1 flow turndown).

PILOT MIXER SELECTION

All Incini-Cone burners are equipped with an integral alloy 3 EPA pilot with a center electrode. Capacity of this pilot is
21,000 to 30,000 Btu/hr at 1.5" - 2.5" wc mixture pressure drop across the nozzle, its typical operating range on the
Incini-Cone.
Select a 131 PM Pilot Mixer (assembly 300558) for this pilot, and specify a mixer jet size that will permit 30,000 Btu/hr
to be achieved with the available air pressure supply. Remember that if the Incini-Cone fires into a combustion chamber operating at positive pressure, the air pressure in Table IV must be increased by an amount equal to the
backpressure.
Pilot air and gas valves and pilot regulators must be selected separately. The RV-35 AZ Pilot Regulator (part no.
15685) normally used with the 131 PM Mixer is suitable up to 6 osi chamber backpressure. For higher backpressures,
regulators with higher inlet pressure ratings must be used.

ORDERING INFORMATION SUMMARY

To order an Incini-Cone burner, specify:
1. Incini-Cone model and assembly numbers, including the two-digit cone spacer suffix.
2. Gas gun assembly number.
3. 300558 #131 PM Pilot mixer assembly and jet size7/32", 1/4", or 9/32".
4. Spacer assembly number including the two-digit suffix.
These items will be factory assembled.
Pilot valves and regulators, UV scanners and adapter fittings (if necessary) and gas control accessories must be
ordered separately.
