Capacity/Selection Data
All Maxon Burner Nozzles provide
positive flame retention and clean,
complete, stable combustion when
supplied with a 100% air/gas
premixture. Their heat release is
directly related to the differential
mixture pressure developed by that
supply system.
Capacities in 1000’s Btu/hr are
plotted (on the charts on this page and
the following page) against the
differential mixture pressures for each
of the nozzle sizes.
Discharge area for each nozzle
size is also shown.
Any reference to a “pressure”
must relate to the “effective dis-
charge area” through which the
volume of gas or air/gas premixture
is passing. When selecting premixing
equipment systems, the maximum
and minimum mixture pressures must
be evaluated relative to the quantity
and/or size of the nozzle(s). The ratio
between these two factors dictates the
turndown capabilities of the overall
system.
Multiple nozzle combinations
may be considered for a given heat
release with a specific premixing
device, but the total discharge areas
of all the multiple nozzles must not
exceed the effective discharge area of
the specified single nozzle size.
A minimum differential mixture
pressure of +0.25" wc must be
maintained to minimize the
potential for backfiring.

Premix-type Line Burners


Style A, B & C LINOFLAME® Burners
Short, ribbon-type flames are
produced by modular-designed sections
with “customized” drillings. These
modular sections can provide burner
elements that most nearly match your
application’s heat and/or flame
distribution requirements.
Heat releases up to 525,000 Btu/hr
per lineal foot of burner and turndown
ratios up to 7:1 are possible from the
three different styles of LINOFLAME®
Burners. Each style is designed with
over 25 popular sections to maximize
the application flexibility of this type of
line burner. Let Maxon help you design
the burner element to meet your needs.

Type “VF” LINOFLAME® Burners


Like the Style A, B & C line burners
above, the Type “VF” LINOFLAME®
Burners also provide a ribbon of fire, but
in a wider and V-shaped pattern. Cast
iron, V-faced, modular sections
incorporate standardized drillings for
interchangeability.
Heat releases up to 600,000 Btu/hr
per lineal foot of burner and turndown
ratios up to 10:1 are produced from two
different types of LINOFLAME® Burners:
“VFL” (V-faced, low capacity) and “VFH”
(V-faced, high capacity).
Positive flame retention and constant
cross-ignition are provided without
separate ignition rails. Maintenance and
cleaning are easy.
“VF” LINOFLAME® Burners make

Premix-type Line Burners

INFRAWAVE® Burners
A high-intensity infra-red energy radiates from the high
face temperatures of the ceramic refractory grids of an
INFRAWAVE® Burner.
Their design produces a low forward velocity air move-
ment, minimizing disturbances of granular or powder
products.
Modular-designed sections permit tailoring total heat
release and radiant pattern to your particular application
requirements.
Two versions of INFRAWAVE® Burners (“SG” single grid
or “DG” double grid) provide the application flexibility that
dramatically boosts production speeds by concentrating
heating into small areas and/or onto fast-moving products.
Typical applications for INFRAWAVE® Burners are:
• Direct spot heating
• Direct heating/drying on a conveyer
• Oven process heating or drying
• Moving web heating/drying processes

Principle of Operation Capacities of LINOFLAME® Burner assemblies


These LINOFLAME® Burners consist of a cast are established by the minimum and maximum
iron air-gas manifold, incorporating a drilled face and differential mixture pressures developed by the air/
flame retention ignition rails. When supplied with a full gas premixing equipment. Refer to the appropriate
air/gas premixture, they provide a “ribbon” flame catalog section of Maxon premixing devices for the
pattern. capacity and turndown range of the complete system.
Three styles of LINOFLAME® Burner sections
are offered. All styles (sizes) incorporate cast iron
burner bodies and are available with cast iron or alloy
ignition rails. The alloy ignition rails offer extended life
in difficult service conditions and are recommended
for propane-fired applications or those involving
temperatures above 400°F (204°C). Ambient airstream
temperatures passing over the burner
should not exceed 600°F.

Supports
If burner fires in still air:
Sketch 1 below illustrates a typical upward-firing
position. It is only necessary to supply sufficient
support to hold burner weight. In some circum-
stances, the manifolding itself may provide adequate
support particularly if inlets occur every 4' or less.
Use cross-ignition end plates to sectionalize longer
burner assemblies exceeding 7' in length.

Burner location should be chosen to minimize possi-


bility of plugging burner ports due to dirt, sand or other
foreign matter being dropped onto the burner face.
To protect burner, a supply of fresh cooling
secondary air should be provided, possibly as shown
in Sketch 2.

Sketch 4 shows the burner suspended from a


strap iron frame using USB (universal support brack-
ets) supplied by Maxon. Note that rigid mounting is
avoided by the 3/4" bracket hole which slips loosely
over a 1/2" bolt or steel rod attached to the support.
Gas piping would need independent support.

Step 6) Applying the heat-up time of 1 minute we get:

of the burner box. It is important to push the gasket
material into the corners as the tape is being installed.
If the tape does not extend into the corners squarely,
the tape may stretch and tear the gasket material
when the burner tiles are installed.

Installing Burner Tiles Figure 4
– Figures 4 & 5
Once the tape is installed, put the outer two burner
tiles in place on the tile support ledge. Check to see
that the gasket tape around the outer edge of the tile
is in place and seated against the ledge gasket. The
middle tile can then be pressed into place by raising
the center edge of either outside tile to form a tent with
the middle tile. Press downward on the two raised
edges until the tile snaps into place. If one or more
burner tiles are uneven, do not attempt to push
individual tiles into place. This can result in cracked or
broken tiles. The burner tile will be leveled in the next
step.

Installing Tile Retainers Figure 6


– Figure 6
When the burner tiles are in place, insert the two long
tile retainers between the inside of the burner box and
the tape until the tabs extend through the tab openings
in the burner box. Next, using a small pair of channel
locks, press all of the tile retainers down lightly to level
the burner tile. Do not tighten any of the tabs while
using the channel locks to seat the tile. This could
result in broken tiles. Once both retainers have been
pressed down and the tiles have been seated, press
the retainers hand-tight and twist the tabs a quarter-
turn to lock the tile into place.

Radiant Energy - source and transfer
The quantity of radiant energy the RadMax™ Burner For example, if we assume the work temperature is
system is capable of supplying is a function of the 200°F and its emissivity is 0.80, the energy transfer
surface area, emissivity and temperature of the burner rates per square foot at various tile temperatures are
tile(s). The effective surface area of a Type 25, Type as illustrated below.
50 or Type 13 burner tile is 0.37 ft2 (0.034 m2). Emis-
sivity is defined as the measure of the ability of a RadMax™ Burner tile temperature = 1400°F
material to radiate energy. It is expressed as a number From the table below, we determine
from 0.0 – 1.0. The nominal emissivity for the the heat flux to be 18,600 Btu/ft2/hr x 0.80 emissivity

Model “400” OVENPAK® Gas Burner Page 2105

Design and Application Details


OVENPAK® Burners are nozzle-mixing gas burners
for many industrial direct-fired applications where
clean combustion and high turndown are required.
They are simple and versatile for use on a variety of
heating applications.
The Model “400” OVENPAK® Burner (shown at
right) includes a combustion air blower with non-
sparking paddle wheel-type impeller, pilot, spark
ignitor, stainless steel discharge sleeve, mixing cone,
self-contained internal air and gas proportioning
valves, and provision for your flame safeguard
sensor.

Right: Model 415 OVENPAK® Gas Burner with optional:


• combustion air filter
• connecting base and linkage assembly
• electrical control motor (by others)

Principle of operation (illustrated at left)


The OVENPAK® Burner is designed for industrial
air heating applications. It is available in two basic
versions: 1) packaged with integral combustion air
blower, or 2) for use with an external blower. Both
versions include a gas and air valve, internally linked
together to control the gas-air ratio over the full
operating range. The gas flows through the nozzle,
then along the inside of the burner cone where
combustion air is progressively and tangentially mixed
with the gas. This produces a very wide turndown
range and a highly stable flame under a variety of
operating conditions.

Design and Application Details


Model “EB” (external blower) OVENPAK® Burners
(shown at right), like all OVENPAK® Burner assem-
blies, are designed to deliver heat through a patented
mixing cone and stainless steel sleeve.
Flanged burner body design on all OVENPAK®
Burner assemblies simplifies mounting and installa-
tion on your application. Burner can be installed in
any position that does not conflict with your control
motor or flame detector requirements.
Minimal torque requirements permit use of most view into
electric or air operators in conjunction with the op- cone of
tional (Maxon supplied) connecting base and linkage EB version
assemblies.

blower source with connecting base and linkage assembly

2107, but provide constant combustion air volumes.
They differ from “standard” versions by use of a
slotted adjustable air butterfly locking device as
shown in photo at left. Internally, the linkage normally
cross-connecting air and gas butterflies is omitted.
In normal operation, the air butterfly is set to the
desired air differential pressure, and the fuel only is
throttled by a separate control valve. Maximum
capacities match those cataloged for “standard”
burners of equivalent size. Minimum capacities with
full air flow will be higher than those of “standard”
Model “EB-MA” OVENPAK® Burner with discharge sleeve burner.
and optional manual gas control

“EB-MRV” versions (photo at right)


“EB-MRV” versions of OVENPAK® Burners permit
air/fuel ratio control via a Maxon MICRO-RATIO®
control valve throughout the firing range. They differ
from standard “EB” burners in that internal gas and air
butterflies and the related shafts and linkages are
omitted.
In normal operation, air and fuel will be propor-
tioned by an external Maxon MICRO-RATIO® Control
valve.
Maximum capacities match those cataloged for
“EB” burners of equivalent size and differential air
pressure. Minimum capacity and air differential
pressure will vary with your application. Model “EB-MRV” OVENPAK® Burner with optional 12"

provide a broad range of heat without a
combustion blower by firing through-the-wall
into your combustion chamber on the suction
side of the circulating fan. An internal mixing
cone blends air drawn through the burner (by
chamber suction) with fuel gas delivered
through its central gas nozzle. The Model
“200” OVENPAK® Burner is designed for
applications involving suction-side firing from -
0.2" to -1.6" wc static chamber conditions.

Design and Application Details


OVENPAK®-II Burners are nozzle-mixing gas
burners for many industrial direct-fired applications
where clean combustion and high turndown are
required. They are simple and versatile for use on a
variety of heating applications.
The Model “400” OVENPAK®-II Burner (shown at
right) includes a face-mounted motor, blower with
non-sparking paddle wheel-type impeller, pilot, spark
ignitor, stainless steel discharge sleeve, mixing cone,
self-contained internal air and gas proportioning
valves, and provision for your flame safeguard
sensor.
The blower housing can be rotated and mounted in
three alternate locations in 90° increments around the
burner air inlet center line. Control motor and low fire
start switches may be mounted on either the right or
left hand side of burner body.
Principle of operation (illustrated below)
The OVENPAK®-II Burner is designed for industrial
air heating applications. It is available in two basic
versions: 1) packaged with integral combustion air Model 415 OVENPAK®-II Gas Burner with optional
combustion air filter, high and low fire position switch set,
blower, or 2) for use with an external blower. Both spark ignitor, provision for customer’s UV scanner and with
versions include a gas and air valve, internally linked connecting base and linkage for electrical control motor
together to control the gas-air ratio over the full
operating range. The gas flows through the nozzle,
then along the inside of the burner cone where
combustion air is progressively and tangentially mixed
with the gas. This produces a very wide turndown
range and a highly stable flame under a variety of
operating conditions.

Page 2154 Model “400” OVENPAK®-II Gas Burners

Design and Application Details


Model “EB” (external blower) OVENPAK®-II Burners
(shown in photos), like all OVENPAK® Burner assem-
blies, are designed to deliver heat through a patented
mixing cone and stainless steel sleeve.
Flanged burner body design on all OVENPAK®
Burner assemblies simplifies mounting and installa-
tion on your application. Burner can be installed in
any position that does not conflict with your control
motor or flame detector requirements.
Minimal torque requirements permit use of most
electric or air operators in conjunction with the
optional (Maxon supplied) connecting base and
linkage assemblies.

Accessory Options
Air filter assemblies and silencers
Air filter assemblies help to trap airborne particu-
late matter. They are offered with washable replace-
able filter elements or with permanent metallic ele-
ments. Filters mount onto OVENPAK®-II Burner's
blower housing and surround the combustion air inlet.
Filter silencers help reduce noise levels. They
physically become a part of the OVENPAK®-II
Burner's filter housing and enclose the combustion air
inlet (as shown in photograph at right). They must be
furnished in conjunction with a filter element assembly
described above.

When accessories and/or options are added, use
the following guidelines to calculate sound levels.
Filter (permanent) add 2 dB (3dB)
Silencer (with permanent filter) subtract 2 db (1 dB)
12" discharge sleeve add 2 dB
50 Hz motor – 83% capacity subtract 2 dB
Propane gas add 4 dB
Combine the adds and subtracts for net change
when calculating sound levels with more than one of
these options/accessories. (Example: A burner with
silencer and operating on propane would be 2 dB
louder.)
Silencer includes filter element as standard.
NOTE: Background may affect on-site
measurements.

Design and Application Details


Maxon TUBE-O-FLAME® Burners are nozzle- Series “67”
mixing, gas-fired, refractory-less burners specifically 8" TUBE-O-FLAME®
designed for firing into an immersion tube. Typical Gas Burner
with optional
applications have included various industrial solution
hi/lo Maxon
heating jobs such as dip tanks, spray washers, control motor set
pickling or quench tanks, dye becks, salt baths,
asphalt kettles, indirect air heaters and bakery ovens.
Standard Series “67” TUBE-O-FLAME® Burner
package (shown at right) includes a combustion air
blower with a non-sparking aluminum paddle-wheel-
type impeller. A pilot and spark ignitor is included in
the cast iron burner body, as well as the ductile iron
mixing disc, internally-connected air and gas control
valves, gas nozzle and provisions for your flame
safeguard sensor.

Principle of operation (illustrated below)

Model LB (less blower) Series “67” TUBE-O-


FLAME® Burners (shown below), like all TUBE-O-
FLAME® Burner assemblies, are designed to deliver
heat efficiently into your immersion tube.
Flanged burner body design on all Series “67”
TUBE-O-FLAME® assemblies simplifies mounting and
installation on your application. Most manufacturers’
control motors require operating shaft in horizontal
plane.
Minimal torque requirements permit use of
virtually any electric or air operator. Maxon can supply
connecting base and linkage assemblies for mounting
most temperature control operators.

Series “67” 8" LB


TUBE-O-FLAME®
Burner with optional
The TUBE-O-FLAME® Burner is available in two Maxon hi/lo control
basic versions: 1) packaged with integral low horse- motor set and burner
power combustion air blower, or 2) LB (less blower) mounting ring
for use with an external combustion blower source.
Both versions incorporate a gas and air valve linked
together to control the gas-air ratio over the full
throttling range of the burner. Gas flows out through
the gas nozzle where it mixes with the swirled com-
bustion air coming through the mixing disc. This
results in a long, swirling flame that spins down the
firing tube, scrubbing the internal tube walls and
promoting higher heat transfer efficiencies.

2/96
Page 2204 Series “67” TUBE-O-FLAME® Gas Burners

Design and Application Details


Any clean commercial fuel gas can be used, with
adjustment provided by simply setting inlet gas
pressure to the Series “67” TUBE-O-FLAME® Burner.
The burner can be mounted either straight, through
the tank wall, or angled downward. If more than one
pipe diameter of tube length is not solution-backed,
overheating and deterioration of tube may occur.
NOTICE: Burner performance can be drastically
affected by tube configuration.
Tube design should consist of Schedule #40 pipe
or lighter in the same size as burner. It is suggested
that the first straight pass of tube consist of at least 10 Exhaust considerations

Immersion tubes are usually vented to the out-
elbow turn. Burner capacity may be reduced if tube

layout has multiple single-mitre turns. Firing tube

normally diluted to avoid the need for high-tempera-
Tube length and configuration ture fans, but adequate make-up air must be avail-
able.
This diluting can be done with an open tee installed
in a vertical run (or in a horizontal run with the open
end down), but such a system mixes slowly.
An adjustable hood (shown in sketch below) offers
much better performance. In all cases, care must be
taken that all products of combustion are exhausted
from the building.
An exhaust stack damper must be used, suit-
able for 1000°F, and designed to prevent full
stack closure.

Many factors affect overall system efficiency. Tube


length is the most important. The graph above shows
approximate tube length required to attain a given
efficiency. Typical installations run in the 70% – 75%
range. Space considerations (including tube displace-
ment) may limit possible tube lengths and so reduce
efficiency. Above 85% efficiency, there is a risk of
condensation-caused tube damage.

Design and Application Details


Automatic control Regardless of the type of automatic control (high-
low or modulating), Series “67” TUBE-O-FLAME®
Burners should be at or very near the Low firing
position for pilot ignition and main flame light-off.
The built-in air and gas flow control valves are
mechanically linked together. At Low, the air valve is
cracked open but the gas valve is practically closed.
If some higher firing rate is selected for low fire on
High-Low installations, both valves will be opened
wider. The increased combustion air will necessitate
more gas for pilot ignition. If carried too far, this
increase can cause the main flame to be too rich.
Two-position control, then, results in what essen-
tially is on-off control, down to just a little more than
pilot. Burners can be ordered with Maxon-supplied

hazardous operating condition is sensed. Manual
reset valves require operator attendance each time
the system is started up (or restarted after a trip-out).
Motorized shut-off valves permit automatic start or

Test connections are essential for burner adjust-

itself. Test connections must be plugged except
when readings are being taken.
Exhaust stack dampers are necessary to the
proper operation of an immersion tube burner system.

Design and Application Details


Maxon OVENPAK® Burners are nozzle-mixing
burners specifically designed for direct-fired applica-
tions in ovens and dryers where clean combustion is
required.
Typical applications for Model “500” OVENPAK®
Burners include air heating in ovens and dryers, paint
lines, paper and textile machines, food-baking ovens,
coffee roasters, grain dryers and fume incinerators.
Principle of operation
Model “500” OVENPAK® Burners are available in
gas-only (500-G) and combination gas/oil (500-SP)
versions. Both incorporate a fuel and air valve linked
together to control the fuel-air ratio over the full
operating range.
The combination (500-SP) burner also has an
integrated oil control valve mounted into the burner
body. All valves work together. The choice of fuels is
up to you: gas, oil, or both at the same time.
Both gas-only and combination burners are avail-
able in two basic versions: 1) packaged with integral
combustion air blower, or 2) for use with an external
blower (EB versions).
When firing on oil, compressed air provides good
atomization. The oil flow pattern inside the mixing cone
Model "515-SP" OVENPAK® Gas/Oil Burner
results in intimate mixing with the combustion air.
In combination fuel firing, gas is introduced
around the patented oil nozzle and both gas and oil
are controlled in conjunction with the air damper.
“EB-MRV” versions of OVENPAK® Burners permit
air/fuel ratio control via an externally-mounted Maxon
MICRO-RATIO® control valve throughout the firing
range. They differ from standard “EB” (external blower)
versions in that internal gas and air butterflies and the
related shafts and linkages are omitted.

For proper performance of any burner, air inlet and for Model “500” & “EB” OVENPAK® Burner applications
motor should be surrounded by clean, fresh, cool air.
Burner and pipe manifold support will be re-
quired to support weight of the burner and connected
pipe train components. Air control motors, in particu-
lar, require additional support. Maxon connecting base
and linkage assemblies are designed to position the
control motors to work with the burner, not to support
their weight.
The Model “500” OVENPAK® Burner requires
external auxiliary support provided by the user. The
support configuration may be similar to the leg support
or knee bracket support illustrated below.

Suggested supporting arrangements


for Model “500” OVENPAK® Burners:

For pull-through systems, spacers may be


installed on stud bolts and area D left empty to admit
cooling air past the sleeve.

WARNING: Welding of burner flange to stiffener


plate may cause warpage of burner flange and
require additional seal material to prevent
leakage.

provided a compromise between operating fuel
economy and tube length.
Small-bore tubes require less space than conven-
tional tubes. Therefore, small-bore tubes can be made
longer to provide efficiencies of 80% or more.
Tubes sized for 80% efficiency will have low
exhaust temperatures, causing condensation to form in
them during start-up or during long idling periods. This
condensation will normally evaporate after the burner
has run at high fire for a brief period of time. If ex-
tended idling periods are expected, a condensate drain
should be provided at the low point nearest the exhaust
and the immersion tube should be pitched towards the
exhaust.
If the immersion tube will operate at efficiencies of
75% or lower, the exhaust leg can exit through the
liquid surface in the tank without designing for conden-
sation. However, the length of the exhaust tube must
also be considered in the design as explained below.

Service Tips
On occasions during cold start-up, a rumbling will TUBE-O-THERM®
occur in the tube until thermal equilibrium is estab- Burners
lished. This is normal and should disappear within a
few minutes. A low-fire time period of approximately 2
minutes is recommended prior to high-fire operation.
If, after several minutes of high-fire operation the
rumbling has not decreased or the burner exhibits
flame instability, shut off the burner and perform the
following checks:
1. Start all system-related fans and blowers to
duplicate conditions from step 6 of start-up
instructions on page 2750-S-4. Advance burner
operating crank to high-fire position.
2. Determine and verify differential air pressure
at burner backplate test ports.
Connect a manometer between the gas test
port and the air test port. With the burner
operating crank at high-fire position, fuel valve(s)
closed, air handling systems and combustion air
blower on, the manometer will read the differen-
tial combustion air pressure.
Air test port should be connected to the (+)
end of the manometer as it will have the higher
pressure over the gas test port.

minimum and verify that the gas pressure does not
increase by more than 3" wc (7.5 mbar) as the

Effect of regulator droop on burner emissions


Regulator droop can cause NOx levels to increase.
The following table shows the effect of droop.
Maximum NOx level shown is that which occurs from
30 or 40 percent open to maximum.

Droop = (gas pressure at minimum) – (gas pressure at maximum)

400,000 and 800,000 Btu/hr burner:

Droop Maximum NOx Level Turndown


0 – 2" wc 25 15:1
3.5" wc 40 14.2:1
7" wc 50 12.5:1

Regulator droop will cause the CO emissions to be


lower. Note that the 0.4M, 0.8M and 2.7M sizes are
the most forgiving of regulator droop. All values
shown are for natural gas running on 60 Hz power.
On propane, the effect of droop may be even more
dramatic.

Make-up Air

The Maxon APX™ burner can be utilized for make-up air applications. The burner is particularly useful when the
make-up air system has variable air flow. Several system variables need to be defined so that the APX™ burner
can be properly applied. These include:

• Process airflow turndown.


• Maximum temperature rise of the system.
• Required emissions.

A process air turndown of 2:1 will affect make-up air in two ways. At half the process air flow, only half the
dilution air is present. Also, only the lower half of the firing rate would be utilized as the maximum temperature
rise remains constant. The APX™ Burner can achieve a 5 ppm CO make-up air rating at 100oF temperature rise
without process air turndown. Like NP AIRFLO® Burner, the peak CO levels occur near 25% of firing capacity.
In order to obtain the best emissions throughout the highest turndown, the fuel and air should be controlled with
an MRV. Fuel and air should be throttled on ratio through a 2 - 3:1 turndown. From that point and below, fuel
only should be throttled. The air flow (not pressure drop because APX™ takes a drop across a distribution
plate) setting at 2 - 3:1 turndown would be equivalent to the air flow of NP-I with approximately .4 to .55 in wc
pressure drop.

The chart below demonstrates that the APX™ will deliver make-up quality air when fired in-duct. The chart
depicts CO emissions for APX™ with constant combustion air and APX™ with throttled combustion air. The
secondary y-axis demonstrates the effect of cutting the process air, and thus dilution air, by a factor of two. The
burner still generates the same amount of CO at a given firing rate on a “pounds” or “ppm at 3%” level, but
changing the amount of process air will change the “as read” levels.

Gas Flow (scfh/ft)

Note that only the lower half of the firing rate would be used when the process air is cut in half. In other words,
half process air would only require half the firing rate to obtain the same temperature rise as full firing rate at full
process flow. This is the reason variable process air flow systems require such large burner turndown.

Alternate Fuel Consideration

The APX™ Burner with the standard drilling can accomodate Natural Gas, Propane and Butane. The APX™
For fuels other than natural gas, special consideration should be given to the application.

Propane:

• Protect flame against cross-flow above 750,000 Btu/ft.


• Maintain full air pressure - may require downrating of burner to 900,000 Btu/ft if flame length is critical.
• Increased CO - requires reducing max temperature rise to 80oF for make-up air rating of 5 ppm CO as read.

Butane:

• Protect flame against cross-flow.


• Maintain full air pressure - downrate burner to 800,000 Btu/ft.
• Turndown limited to 25:1
• Increased CO - not recommended for make-up air applications requiring less than 10 ppm CO as read with
maximum temp rise of 90oF.
• UV scanner recommended.

Butylene and Propylene (more than 15% of volume of fuel gas is butylene and propylene combined)

• Protect flame against cross-flow.


• Maintain full air pressure - downrate burner to 750,000 Btu/ft
• Turndown may be limited to 20:1
• UV scanner only.
• Increased CO - not recommended for make-up air.
• Maximum of 60% combined C3H6 + C4H8 in fuel mixture.

50 Hz consideration

The APX™ burner can be applied for 50 hz applications. For natural gas, either downrate the burner to
accomodate the loss of airflow or order the next size blower to restore full firing capacity. For other fuels, the
airflow must be equivalent to 60 hz applications. Minimum differential air pressure at the burner connection is
3.5 in wc for alternate fuels, though the 4.0 in w.c. displayed in the catalog is preferred. To restore the burner to
60 hz equivalent on balanced ovens, modify the order as follows:

• 1.0 APX™ - less 47145, with 47146.


• 1.5 APX™ - less 47146, with 42259. In this one case, an SER is required. When using the 42259 (from
packaged Tube-O-Therm), the mounting flange of the blower must be modified from round to square to
accomodate the air control slide gate.
• 2.0 APX™ - less 47147, with 47148.
• 3.0 APX™ - less 47148, with 47149.
• 4.0 APX™ - less 47149, with 47150.
• 5.0 APX™ - EB only.

design permits fuel flow to be matched to air flow at
each firing position.
This gives excellent control and allows on-ratio
firing. If the application calls for it, ratio may be made
oxidizing or reducing at any point within the burner
firing range.

Series “M” Miniature PREMIX® Blower Mixers


provide a low cost alternative for smaller heating
applications requiring “on-off” firing.

The mixer must be matched to the discharge areas


and mixture pressure requirements of the burners
used.
Any clean gaseous fuel (500-3200 Btu/ft3) can be
used. Only 2" to 8" wc supply pressure is necessary
at the mixer.
Combustible mixture may be piped to single or
multiple burners, but should not be throttled down-
stream of the mixer.

Suggested Maintenance/Inspection Procedures


To replace Air Filter Element
Refer to photo at right, then:
1. Insert finger through each lock ring, then rotate
from back to front by pulling against force of spring.
2. Swing hinged cover upward out of the way.
3. Withdraw dirty filter element for cleaning or replace-
ment. If you clean rather than replace filter element,
wash in a strong detergent, warm water solution, or
steam clean. Dry thoroughly in warm air not to
exceed 200°F (93°C) before replacing.
4. Insert new or cleaned filter element into cage.
Check that it has extended onto air inlet sleeve
providing positive closure at that point.
5. Lower hinged cover to closed position and lock in
place with lock rings.
Warning: The filter material used is approved by
UL as Class II (fire retardant). Hot welding beads
or direct flame can ignite filter material.

Premixed Air/Gas Manifolding Suggestions
1. Always design air/gas manifold piping for uniform Sketch 1 shows four burners fed from one end-fed
distribution to multiple-feed or multiple-burner header. Note that full mixer size is continued past all
systems. Select manifold piping sizes by starting burner take-offs, and outlet extended and capped one

2. Always make sure that any distribution header is in length from first take-off.
greater in cross-sectional area than the total
cross-sectional area(s) of any and all pipes being
fed.
3. Never install a throttling or shut-off device in any
air/gas mixture line between the blower mixer and
its burner(s).
4. If necessary to have a smaller size manifold, use
alternate discharge flanges available from Maxon
for most PREMIX® Blower Mixers.
The chart below gives typical pipe data for use
in designing air/gas distribution manifolds.

2. Electrical service must match the voltage,
phase and cycle of all electrical system compo-

elbow arrangement may be specified as shown at
right. Support clamp is standard on 3" and larger
VENTITE™ Inspirators and available as optional
accessory on 2" and 2-1/2" versions.
Capacities and nozzle sizing information are
provided on pages 3304-3306 for burner systems
utilizing VENTITE™ Inspirators with STICKTITE™
Burner Nozzles. Data is based on the use of a single,
full-sized STICKTITE™ Nozzle threaded directly onto
the outlet of a VENTITE™ Inspirator or arranged for
right-angle firing with a single elbow and close nipple.
Use only the “HD” STICKTITE™ Nozzle size
indicated for each VENTITE™ Inspirator.
Your actual choice of an appropriate VENTITE™
Inspirator and STICKTITE™ Nozzle combination will
be based on combustion chamber back pressure or
draft and the available pressure and heating value of
the fuel gas being used.

make-up air supply heating.
To select the appropriate Inspirator/Series “66”
AIRFLO® Burner combination, determine your
required maximum capacity.
For recirculated process air heating, maximum
capacity is 600,000 Btu/hr per lineal foot. Minimum
capacity is determined by air stream velocity across
the burner, which must be maintained in the range of
2200-3000 SFPM. Fresh make-up air must be added
to the recirculated air stream at the rate of 100 SCFM
per 100,000 Btu/hr heat release (introduced so as to
pass effectively through and over the burner).
Approximate flame lengths shown in the table
vary with air stream velocity and are measured from
discharge end of burner mixing plates (i.e. from
profile).
In the table below, scan downward to the maximum
capacity required for your application, then read to the

KINEMAX® Burners
Principle of Operation Series G KINEMAX® Burners
for gas only firing
With Series G KINEMAX® Burners,
combustion air enters the burner body and
is swirled out into the burner block (or
sleeve) through the internal air orifice plate.
Low pressure gas enters the burner
body and exits to the block through
machined ports in the gas nozzle.
The gas and air are intimately mixed in
the cast burner block tunnel. The spark
ignitor is positioned to intersect the fuel/air
mixture directly in front of the nozzle face.
Pilot gas is introduced directly behind the
gas ports in the gas nozzle and essentially
flows through to the burner block through
the same ports as does the main gas. The
pilot capacity is the minimum firing rate of
the KINEMAX® Burner.
With Series C KINEMAX® Burners,
combustion air enters the burner body and
is swirled out into the burner block (or Series C KINEMAX® Burners
sleeve) through the air orifice plate. Low for gas/oil firing
pressure gas enters the body and exits to
the block/sleeve through the gas tube and
nozzle.
For light oil firing, the #2 oil enters
through the strainer and oil tube going to the
oil spinner nozzle where the stream of liquid
oil is atomized by the atomizing air directly in
front of the spark ignitor.
Gas for the pilot comes in through a
separate inlet in the gas body and flows
down the gas tube where it spins out the
face of the gas nozzle in front of the spark
ignitor.

KINEMAX® Burners provide a higher velocity set to give a choice between on-ratio and excess air,

mounting plate. Basic burner with standard refractory block and seal and support assembly is shown at left.

• Improve your furnace temperature uniformity and work penetration with rapid circulation
from RAMFIRE® Burner’s high exit velocities, up to 550 ft/sec (375 MPH)

• Increase furnace loading and reduce flame impingement potential with RAMFIRE® Burner’s
short flame length. Let the high velocity stream of hot combustion gases stir-up your furnace’s heat.

• Maintenance and/or field inspection is simple with burner’s removable backplate, giving direct and
easy access to the gas nozzle and refractory block

• 20:1 turndown capability promotes faster bring-up times without temperature override
• Operate “on-ratio” or with “excess air” to meet specific demands of your process requirements
• Clean burning with natural or propane gases to produce lower NOX levels

• Requires low pressure combustion air for heat releases up to 800,000 Btu/hr in two popular sizes
for maximum cost effectiveness

RAMFIRE® Burners
Principle of Operation
Combustion air enters the burner
body and is swirled out into the burner
block through the air orifice plate. Gas
enters the burner body and exits to the
block through ports in the gas nozzle.
Gas and air are mixed on the face of
the nozzle directly in front of the spark
ignitor where it is ignited.
The pilot gas is introduced through
the side of the burner body and into the
gas nozzle.
The ignited gas/air flame front passes
down the refractory block tunnel to exit
through its reduced area discharge. This
helps to develop the short flame length
extending from the block and promotes
the very high exit velocities characteris-
tic of the RAMFIRE® Burner.
Each RAMFIRE® Burner includes a seal and Material temperature limits

VORTIFLARE® Radial Flame Burners


Principle of Operation Series “G” VORTIFLARE® Burners
for gas only firing
With Series “G” VORTIFLARE® Burners,
combustion air enters the burner body and is swirled
out into the burner block through the nozzle ports.
These ports create the spinning radial flame
characteristic of the VORTIFLARE® Burners.
Low pressure gas enters the burner body and
exits to the block through machined ports in the
nozzle.
Pilot gas and air enter the burner body from a
separate pilot mixer assembly (not shown in sketch at
right) and passes down a refractory tunnel to intersect
the main air and gas path, just in front of the burner
nozzle.

With Series “C” VORTIFLARE® Burners,


combustion air enters the burner body and is swirled
out into the burner block through the nozzle ports.
Low pressure gas is introduced to the burner
body and exits to the block through the nozzle ports.
Light oil enters through the strainer and oil tube. It
passes through the oil nozzle where the stream of
liquid oil is atomized directly in front of the gas pilot
tunnel by the atomizing air.

VORTIFLARE® Burners provide a low forward Series “C” VORTIFLARE® Burners


velocity radial spot of hot combustion gases that for gas or oil firing
permit larger loadings within your furnace or lehr,
improving both temperature uniformity and
economical production results.
When used in conjunction with Maxon’s MICRO-
RATIO® Control Valves, a VORTIFLARE® Burner may
be adjusted to fire on-ratio throughout the firing range
or set to give a choice between “on-ratio” or “excess
air” firing. As high as 200% excess air is possible at
minimum capacity.

MULTIFIRE® Dual Fuel Burners


Principle of Operation
MULTIFIRE® Burners incorporate a nozzle-mix
refractory block design capable of “on-ratio” firing over
a broad range of operating conditions.
The dual fuel capability indicates that
MULTIFIRE® Burners can fire on either gas or
oil, but not both fuels at the same time.
The illustration at right shows the combustion air
being introduced through the burner body, surround-
ing the nozzle, and spinning out into the refractory
block tunnel through machined air orifice ports on the
face of the burner nozzle.
On gas firing, the gas enters the burner body and
travels down through the inside of the gas nozzle. As Typical for 2" – 8" size
the gas passes through the nozzle face, it is spun out MULTIFIRE® Burners
into the refractory block tunnel where it is thoroughly
mixed with the combustion air.

Fuel Control Valves. For gas firing of the burner, the
air valve must be adjusted so that at its minimum
position, sufficient combustion air passes to allow
operation at minimum gas-firing capacity.
When firing on oil, the required minimum combus-
tion air is supplied as atomizing air, and the flow
through the partially open air valve which was neces-
sary for gas firing now becomes “excess” air, requir-
ing that the minimum oil firing rate be increased.
If the full turndown range of the burner is
required on oil, then the air valve must be closed at
minimum firing position, and an air by-pass system
installed to provide the minimum combustion air
required for gas firing (see sketch at right). Control
sequencing should be such that the air by-pass

OXY-THERM® Gas or Oil Burners

OXY-THERM® Oil Burner OXY-THERM® Gas Burner

• Provide clean combustion with low NOx levels, even with on-site generated oxygen
(approximately 90% purity) units. OXY-THERM® Burners use oxygen for the combustion reaction,
removing the major source of nitrogen available for the formation of NOx.
• Quickly convert between gas and oil service by changing the burner nozzle. Provides stand-by or
alternate fuel capabilities. Fuel oil capability ranges from light to heavy fuel oils.
• Designed for easy installation and maintenance. OXY-THERM® Burner nozzles can be removed
during furnace operation, eliminating costly downtime.
• Achieve higher flame temperatures by burning fuels with oxygen. OXY-THERM® Burners eliminate
the need for costly combustion air preheaters, regenerators or recuperators.
• Substantially improve the product quality by eliminating the flow reversals found in regenerative
melters. Oxygen-fuel firing reduces flue gas volume, resulting in less turbulence in the melter
atmosphere.
• Quickly change burner capacity by replacing the thread-on burner nozzle (gas burners only).
• Improve heat transfer, leading to better homogenization and fining of the melt. Hence, lower seed
counts, higher pull rates and better selections.
• Eliminate the need for water cooling and related water piping and maintenance.
• Provide application flexibility with 5:1 turndown range.

NOTES:
• If oxygen is used for atomizing, its
volume should be factored in when
establishing the excess oxygen
requirements for each application. If air is
used for atomizing, the volume of oxygen
contained in the air is so small that it
represents an insignificant amount of the
oxygen required for combustion.
Therefore, it should not be factored into
the operating fuel/oxygen ratios.

Installation Instructions
The burner is normally only a part of your complete Possible Burner Mounting Configurations
combustion system. Additional pipe train accessories
and control components will be required for a com-
plete system installation.
Important: Do not discard packing material until
all loose items are accounted for.
To prevent damage in transit, the burner insert and
mounting gaskets may be packed separately and
shipped loose.
OXY-THERM® Burners can fire in all directions
except downward. Avoid orientations which might
permit an idle burner to collect debris.
Include observation ports in your design to provide
a view of the flame area. This will simplify start-up and
adjustment procedures.
Burner block failure could result from external
stresses and strains transmitted to the burner through
the piping. Flexible connections are recommended in
all piping to reduce piping stresses and alignment/
shifting problems. Installation of such connectors at
certain key spots in the oxygen or gas manifolding
can prevent damage to the burners from uneven
thermal expansion.
Burner Mounting
The sketches at right show two possible methods
of mounting and holding an OXY-THERM® Burner
block and frame assembly in place. Alternate support
methods are possible.
The primary focus is to compress the frame against
the wall of the melter and to support the weight of any
system piping.
The burner block sits on the sill or wall. The burner
block and frame weight should be supported and
equally distributed. If burner port holes are too large,
shims may be used to align the burner.
The opening in the furnace shell should normally
provide 1/16" clearance on all sides. High tempera-
ture furnace sealant or gasketing should be used
between burner mounting flange and furnace shell.
For maximum burner life, burner frame and furnace
shell must be protected from hot gas flows.

Maxon Series 300 OXY-THERM® Burners

Maxon Series 300 OXY-THERM® Burner with square block and optional self-ignition feature

• Capacities up to 300,000 Btu/hr (88 kW) with choice of two block shapes.

• Burns any gaseous fuel, including poor quality fuels that may be unstable using air for combustion.

• Clean combustion with low NOx levels. OXY-THERM® Burners use oxygen for the combustion
reaction, removing atmospheric nitrogen as a source of NOx emissions.

• Easy installation and maintenance. OXY-THERM® Burner nozzles can be removed during furnace
operation, eliminating costly downtime.

• Dramatically increase available heat by producing higher flame temperatures from burning fuels
with oxygen. OXY-THERM® Burners eliminate the need for costly combustion air preheaters,
regenerators or recuperators.

• Substantially reduce the size of exhaust gas handling equipment. Oxygen-fuel firing can reduce
flue gas volume and exhaust gas treatment requirements by 75% or more.

• Improve heat transfer with increased flame temperature and luminosity.

• Self-cooling design eliminates the need for water cooling and related water piping and
maintenance.

• Simple, robust design and high operational turndown provides application flexibility.

OXY-THERM® LE Gas or Oil Burners

OXY-THERM® LE Oil Burner OXY-THERM® LE Gas Burner

• Lowest NOx levels of any oxygen/fuel burner, even with on-site generated oxygen. NOx levels up
to 70% lower than conventional oxy-gas, up to 50% lower than conventional oxy-oil.

• Low pressure oxygen requirements allow the use of any oxygen source.

• Gas or oil fuel capability. Quickly switch between gas and oil service by changing only the burner
nozzle. Fuel oil capability ranges from light to heavy fuel oils. Atomize with oxygen, air or steam.

• Increased flame volume and luminosity.

• Patented design eliminates flame lofting.

• Easy to change burner capacity by replacing simply the threaded burner nozzle (gas burners
only).

• Provides application flexibility with 5:1 turndown range.

• Three sizes available. Capacities up to 17.6 MMBtu/hr (5.2 MW) per burner in three size ranges.

• Designed for easy installation and service. OXY-THERM® LE Burner nozzles can be removed
during furnace operation, eliminating costly downtimes.

• Achieve higher flame temperatures by burning fuels with oxygen. OXY-THERM® LE Burners
eliminate the need for costly combustion air preheaters, regenerators or recuperators.

• Substantially improve the product quality by eliminating the flow reversals in regenerative
melters. Oxygen-fuel firing cuts flue gas volume, turbulence in the melter is reduced, as well as
exhaust gas treatment requirements.

NOTES:
• If oxygen is used for atomizing, its

when establishing the excess oxygen
requirements for each application. If air is
used for atomizing, its oxygen volume
should not be taken into account. The
volume of oxygen in atomizing air is too

Combustion air is supplied with an external blower,
and accurate air and fuel modulation is accomplished
by the proven MICRO-RATIO® Valve (see catalog
sections 7000 and 7100). For more critical applica-
tions, mass flow control of fuel/air ratio can be at-
tained with the SMARTFIRE Intelligent Combustion
Control System. SMARTFIRE provides positive
assurance of minimized emissions, maximized
efficiency and the most repeatable, reliable and safe
control.
Combustion air can range from 21% O2 down to
17% O2 and from ambient temperature up to 800°F
(425°C). Maximum chamber temperature is 2000°F
(1090°C) with any cross velocity up to 3000 fpm (915
m/min). Flame length with 30% excess air is 4 in/
MBtu/hr (30 cm / MW) and with 5% excess air is 1 ft /
MBtu/hr (1 m / MW). Turndown is 40:1*. The
KINEDIZER® Burner can be overfired by up to 20%
simply by supplying higher combustion air and gas
pressures. Contact Maxon for details.
*The smallest (0.5M) burner turndown is 10:1. Larger
sizes offer turndown of more than 40:1.

Features and Benefits


Maxon’s UNI-RAD® Radiant Tube Burner produces an extremely stable and luminous flame envelope profile that
maximizes heat transfer throughout the radiant tube. Flame ignition is maintained by a patented continuous spark
system that ensures ignition each and every time. Options are available to operate with preheated combustion air
to 1200°F (650°C) and the UNI-RAD® Burner fires on any clean fuel gas.

UNI-RAD® Features

Plasma Type Ignition Unlike most spark ignited burners, the UNI-RAD® Burner provides a zone of
ionized air enriched with a small quantity of combustion gas to provide high
energy ignition.
Annular Ignition Electrodes The UNI-RAD® Burner does not use a conventional spark plug; instead, the
primary air and gas inlet tubes provide the electrical path for the ignition spark.
This design feature provides many times the electrode area for extended life and
positive burner ignition.
Adjustable Flame Length The flame length may be tailored to your specific needs by changing the combus-
tion air to ignition air ratios. This simple adjustment allows the burner to obtain
optimum tube temperature uniformity over a wide range of firing rates and
preheated air temperatures.
Wide Input Range The unique design of the UNI-RAD® Burner allows it to operate over a large
range of fuel gas inputs. Stability is maintained and flame length is controllable
with firing rates ranging from as little as 80,000 Btu/hr input to as much as
700,000 Btu/hr.
Instantaneous Ignition The burner’s continuous plasma spark provides instantaneous ignition allowing
the burner to operate from the Duration Adjusting Type (DAT) output from a
Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) Control Loop. When controlled using the
appropriate valving, single point tube temperature variations may be reduced to
as little as plus or minus 4° F (2.2°C).
Flame Supervision The UNI-RAD® Burner may be used in conjunction with UV flame supervision
equipment.
Super Forced Cooling In applications requiring rapid cooling, the UNI-RAD® Burner has been used with
secondary cooling manifolds to provide high rates of heat removal using conven-
tional radiant tubes. The UNI-RAD® Burner can sustain radiant tube pressure in
excess of 10 PSIG (0.7 bars).
Radiant Tube Types The UNI-RAD® System is suitable for use on customer-supplied pressure
tubes, negative pressure tubes, and electrified radiant tubes.

Modes Of Operation
The UNI-RAD® Burner can be operated in the following control modes:
• Proportional control over the entire firing rate range
• High-Low
• ON-OFF
• Pulse-Fired
The Pulse-Fired control mode is recommended, as it produces the tightest temperature
control available while also maximizing furnace alloy life.

Series “66” AIRFLO® Line Burners

• For direct-fired process air heating applications

• Burns clean and odor-free with low levels of NOx production

• Direct-firing optimizes heat transfer efficiencies. All available heat from the gaseous fuel is
released directly into the passing air stream.

• 15:1 turndown ratio provides application flexibility for all fresh or recirculated air stream heating

• Long service life and lower maintenance cost result from rust-resistant cast iron burner bodies
and the controlled expansion of mixing plate’s design

• Modular burner design permits shaping the burner element and total heat release to match your specific
application’s requirements. Basic building block concept provides infinite number of possible burner
configurations to meet your needs.

Start-Up Instructions
Initial start-up adjustment should only be accom-
plished during a “manual” burner control mode.
4. Disconnect the automatic control motor’s
linkage from your MICRO-RATIO® Control
Valve’s operating crank arm (or from your
Maxon Control Valve) by loosening the control
motor’s connecting rod from the valve’s toggle
linkage. Manually set and secure control valve in
its “minimum” position.
5. Start all system-related fans and blowers.
Check for proper blower motor rotation and
impeller direction. Verify that all control inter-
locks are working. Allow air handling equipment
to run for adequate purge of your manifolds and
combustion chamber plenums. With main gas
shut off, manually advance MICRO-RATIO®
Control Valve’s operating crank to “high fire”
position so that air only flows through burner and
combustion chamber.
CAUTION: Do not by-pass control panel timers

Series “66” AIRFLO® Mixers


Principle of Operation
Series “66” AIRFLO® Mixers consist of a ratio valve
and blower. Air for combustion is drawn in through the
ratio valve where it can be throttled.
The same ratio valve also includes a gas butterfly
valve with cross linkage featuring multiple-screw cam
design that permits fuel flow to be matched to air flow
at each possible setting.
This provides excellent repeatability and ratio
control for lowest minimum and so, greatest turndown.
At higher firing rates, a progressively richer mixture is
developed, until at maximum firing rate a major
portion of the combustion air is supplied by the air
stream being heated (75-80% from fresh air streams,
60-70% from recirculated air streams containing a A complete burner system utilizing a Series “66”

Design and Application Details

Principle of Operation
Series “LV” AIRFLO® Burners are designed for
heating process air in motion and consist of a rust-
resistant gray iron, ductile iron, or aluminum bronze
body (which serves as the raw gas or air/fuel manifold),
drilled to discharge the fuel gas/mixture between
diverging stainless steel or Hastelloy-X mixing plates.
The entire burner assembly is mounted inside your
duct directly in the air stream being heated. The air
stream passes across the burner and through the
mixing plates and is used as additional combustion air,
particularly at the higher firing rates. Carefully con-
trolled mixing plate aeration patterns give progressive
mixing, superior cross-ignition and flame retention
across the entire burner assembly length. The Series

INCINO-PAK® Burner Inlet Feed Sections

INCINO-PAK® Burner sections are special con-


figurations of 12" or 36" back inlet feed sections.
They provide “outside-the-duct” access to pilot, ignitor,
and flame safeguard components, eliminating lateral
duct wall connections.
INCINO-PAK® Burner sections are designed to
feed Series “LV” AIRFLO® systems in end-fired
incinerators or preheaters with cylindrical combustion
chambers, or when burner is fired at an elbow in the
ductwork.

Design and Application Details


Principle of Operation
COMBUSTIFUME® Line Burners are designed for
heating high temperature process air in motion and
consist of a rust-resistant ductile iron or aluminum
bronze body (which serves as the raw gas or air/fuel
manifold), drilled to discharge the fuel/gas mixture
between diverging stainless steel or Hastelloy-X
mixing plates.
The entire burner assembly is mounted inside your
duct directly in the air stream being heated. The air
stream passes across the burner and through the
mixing plates and is used as additional combustion
air, particularly at the higher firing rates. Carefully
controlled mixing plate aeration patterns give
progressive mixing, superior cross-ignition and flame
retention across the entire burner assembly length. • CF4D COMBUSTIFUME® Burners have ductile

Oxygen content and temperature of effluent/air heating requirement to heat the fresh combustion
stream dictates how and which COMBUSTIFUME® air being introduced.
Line Burner must be applied. Flammability of a raw
gas burner is affected by oxygen content, air stream
temperature and moisture content. Since a typical
application for COMBUSTIFUME® Burners would
involve an air stream temperature of 700°F or higher,
air streams with measured oxygen levels above 16%
(by volume) will normally support combustion by a
raw gas burner and not require additional primary
combustion air. However, if measured oxygen content
in air stream is less than 16% or air stream
temperature is less than 500°F, a percentage of
partial premixed gas/air may be required to
supplement the lower oxygen levels in your system
for a complete combustion reaction to occur. Please
refer to the Air Stream Flammability Chart on this
page for the exact oxygen requirements of effluent/air
streams.
Elevated air stream temperatures approaching
a COMBUSTIFUME® Burner can be as high as
1050°F (566°C). This naturally causes changes in air
density and net air velocities, and results in an effect
on COMBUSTIFUME® Burner performance.
The combination effect of lower inlet
temperature and lower oxygen levels will normally
require a partial percentage of premixture be added
through the COMBUSTIFUME® Burner system.
This combination effect (or air stream flammability)
is graphically illustrated in the chart at right.
Since oxygen content within the air stream is
critical to the flammability range of a
COMBUSTIFUME® Burner, it also directly affects the
maximum capacity (Btu/hr per lineal foot) of the
burner assembly.

Circular INCINO-PAK® Burners

Circular INCINO-PAK® Burner shown with wall mounting plug

• Circular INCINO-PAK® Burners have been specifically designed for the thermal incineration in
cylindrical combustion chambers of combustible gaseous effluents from a wide variety of industrial
processes.

• These special cone-type COMBUSTIFUME® Burners provide outside-the-duct access to the


raw gas pilot, ignitor, and flame safeguard components. The vital parts are easily retractable and
protected from the heat from the combustion chamber. Easy installation, operation, and maintenance
are assured.

• Considerable savings in primary energy are realized since the raw gas Circular INCINO-PAK®
Burners do not require any external combustion air source. All the oxygen for combustion comes
from the oxygen content normally in most effluent air streams.

• Two popular sizes are offered: 4,000,000 or 8,000,000 maximum Btu/hr capacities. Both sizes
provide 20:1 turndown capabilities on natural gas.

• Application of a Maxon Circular INCINO-PAK® Burner greatly simplifies the construction


of your cylindrical incinerator chamber, since both burner sizes are available as “standard” with a
through-the-wall mounting, or complete with an insulated “wall mounting plug” that further simplifies
burner installation.

Circular INCINO-PAK® Burners


Principle of Operation
The time-tested Maxon AIRFLO® Burner prin-
ciples are also designed into the Circular INCINO-
PAK® Burner. A customer-installed profile plate
surrounds the burner and creates a pressure drop
which directs the passing effluent air stream through
the burner’s cone and extension ring at a high
velocity where it is mixed with a controlled volume of
fuel gas. With the intensive mixing and turbulent
condition created within the burner’s mixing cone, a
rapid temperature rise from the combustion reaction is
produced to help ensure complete incineration of the
effluents.
The burner is a nozzle-mixing type which does
not need external combustion air; only the fuel gas
flow needs to be controlled.
The burner can be ignited by means of the
integrated raw gas pilot, or by direct-spark ignition of Cross sectional view

porate a “low fire start” inter-lock.
A special feature is the central gas inlet on

Installation Instructions
Circular INCINO-PAK® Burner mounting

Customer fabricated profile plate required.


To assure proper operating design pressure drop
for optimum performance of your Maxon Circular
INCINO-PAK® Burner, it is necessary to reduce the
duct area at the location of the burner assembly. This
is done by “silhouetting” the burner element with an
opening in a plate at right angles to the direction of
the air stream movement.
The profile opening should be shaped to frame
your burner as symmetrically as possible, and sized
to maintain the desired operating pressure drop
through the spaced opening surrounding the burner
element.
All Maxon Circular INCINO-PAK® Burner assem-
blies must have a specific design operating pressure
drop across and through the burner element. Consult
Maxon catalog specification for the pressure drop
required to obtain the burner capacity for your specific
application. Install profile plates to attain this pressure
drop.
For best mixing downstream, the profile plate
should extend a minimum of 6" from the walls of
the duct around the entire burner assembly.
The burner cone should protrude about 2 inches
through the profile plate.
A differential pressure switch (or manometer) can

LO-NOX™ Line Burners

24 lineal feet assembly of LN4-12-G LO-NOX™ Burner including end plates and pilot assembly

• Provides direct-fired, in-the-duct, process air heating with greatly reduced generation of NOx

• Burns clean and odor-free with most low pressure gaseous fuels

• Direct-firing optimizes heat transfer efficiencies. All available heat from the gaseous fuel is
released directly into the passing air stream.

• Modular burner design permits shaping the burner element and total heat release to match your
specific application’s requirements. Basic building block concept provides infinite number of possible
burner configurations to meet your needs.

• Long service life and lower maintenance cost result from rust-resistant iron burner bodies and
the controlled expansion of stainless steel mixing plate’s design

• High turndown ratio promotes application flexibility for all fresh or recirculated air stream
heating

Design and Application Details


Principle of Operation
LO-NOX™ Line Burners are designed for heating
process air-in-motion and consist of a rust-resistant
iron body (which serves as the air/fuel manifold), drilled
to discharge the fuel/air mixture between diverging
stainless steel or Hastelloy-X mixing plates.
The entire burner assembly is mounted inside your
duct directly in the air stream being heated. The air
stream passes across the burner and through the
mixing plates. Carefully controlled mixing plate aeration
patterns give progressive mixing, superior cross-
ignition and flame retention across the entire burner
assembly length. The LO-NOX™ Line Burner burns
clean and odor-free with extremely low levels of NOx
production.
Accurate air/fuel ratio and air velocities with
resulting duct static pressure drop are the key to
successful operation. They are established by the
use of a customer-installed profile plate within the duct.
A minimum profile plate width of 6" is required LO-NOX™ Line Burners are part of a complete

(1) 12" back inlet straight @ 0.7 ft2 displ. area
(2) 12" x 6" tee sections @ 0.75 ft2 displ. area

The net free area of the duct, and consequently the


profile opening surrounding the burner element can
be determined by inserting the air volume and/or the
desired operating velocity into this formula. The
burner displaces area in the duct and must be added
to the air handling area to determine the appropriate
profile dimensions.

of a silhouette profile plate within the duct.

Start-Up Instructions
Initial start-up adjustment should only be accom-
plished during a “manual” burner control mode.
4. Disconnect the automatic control motor’s
linkage from your MICRO-RATIO® Control
Valve’s operating crank arm (or from your
Maxon Control Valve) by loosening the control
motor’s connecting rod from the valve’s toggle
linkage. Manually set and secure control valve in
its “minimum” position.
5. Start all system-related fans and blowers.
Check for proper blower motor rotation and
impeller direction. Verify that all control inter-
locks are working. Allow air handling equipment
to run for adequate purge of your manifolds and
combustion chamber plenums. With main gas
shut off, manually advance MICRO-RATIO®

Valve Body Design Details


To provide seals in your process service lines, Maxon uses
two different styles of valve bodies:
Valve Body
Assembly Rising stem (guillotine action) bodies are frequently used
in normally closed and normally open gas valves. The micro-
lapped, spring loaded guillotine disc gets a pressure assist from
the flowing gases to seal against the downstream micro-lapped
metal seat ring. The carefully machined seal surfaces and
extremely close tolerances of the valve body operating mecha-
nism promote positive closing action. Frequent cycling action
constantly shears accumulated dirt or residue from the disc and
seat to insure instantaneous and reliable sealing.

The location of the port in the disc is the basic difference


between normally open and normally closed valve bodies. Both
Seat valves function by the top assembly mechanism driving the stem
and disc down into the valve body, opening (or closing) the flow
path. Both valves trip to their rest position when their top
assembly's compression spring is released to pull the stem and
connected disc up out of the body.
Normally-Closed
Disc
Normally-Open
Disc

Swinging gate bodies are frequently used in normally closed


oil valves and for some non-combustible gas applications. This
Valve Body design provides the same seal capabilities, but in a slightly
Assembly different operating mode. The hard faced micro-lapped seat nut
is threaded into the one-piece valve body. The free-floating, hard
faced, spring loaded circular disc swings across the seat. Line
pressure also assists in sealing the disc to the downstream seat.

Here again, frequent use and cycling actually helps to keep


your valve clean. Since the free-floating disc is swinging across
Disc the circular seat nut on the arc created by the disc carrier, the
Carrier disc rotates slightly on every cycle. This provides a fresh, clean
surface area for sealing off the flow lines.

Seat Maxon valve bodies have special service trim options


available to meet your particular fluid service requirements.

Overhead Wheel & Chain Assembly


Overhead wheel and chain assembly allows
operation of a manual reset valve in an otherwise
inaccessible overhead location. A wheel is mounted
onto the handle of the valve. The attached chain is
weighted on one end and has a paddle handgrip on
the other.
Once the valve is electrically energized, pulling
down on the paddle will open normally closed ver-
sions or close normally open versions.
Maxon valve's free-handle design permits valve to
trip to its rest position on any power interruption.
Wheel and chain assembly includes a length of
chain to position the paddle handgrip slightly below
pipe centerline. A standard length of 7 feet of chain is
included with CP and larger valve sizes and 5 feet is
included with all other valves. Extra chain (in one foot
increments) may be specified to fit your specific
location.

Overhead Wheel & Chain Assembly


Overhead wheel and chain assembly allows
operation of a manual reset valve in an otherwise
inaccessible overhead location. A wheel is mounted
onto the handle of the valve. The attached chain is
weighted on one end and has a paddle handgrip on
the other.
Once the valve is electrically energized, pulling
down on the paddle will open normally closed ver-
sions or close normally open versions.
Maxon valve's free-handle design permits valve to
trip to its rest position on any power interruption.
Wheel and chain assembly includes a length of
chain to position the paddle handgrip slightly below
pipe centerline. A standard length of 7 feet of chain is
included with CP and larger valve sizes and 5 feet is
included with all other valves. Extra chain (in one foot
increments) may be specified to fit your specific
location.

To remove old top assembly:


1. Shut off upstream gas cock.
2. Shut off all electric power to valve.
3. Remove terminal access plate. (Make certain
valve is in shut position.)
4. Remove incoming lead wires from terminal
➨ block.
5. Tag leads for re-assembly.
6. Remove conduit and leads.

Step 5 Step 6

➨ 7. Remove top cover. (Two of twelve screws are


sealed. Break seal and remove screws.)
8. Lift cover straight up to avoid damage to mecha-
nism.
9. Remove lock spacer, shock pad washer, and
shock pad. (Prevent spring retainer from turning
while removing lock spacer by inserting pin or
Allen wrench into 1/4" diameter hole. Pin will ➨
stop possible spring retainer rotation when lock
spacer is unthreaded.)
Step 7 Step 9

➨ 10. Remove four hex head mounting screws (3/8" –


16 N.C.), which hold top assembly to upper
flange of valve bonnet.
11. Lift top assembly of valve bonnet. (Spring will

Top Assembly Replacement (continued)


To install new top assembly:
1. Match same size top assembly and valve body
then re-assemble by reversing procedure.
2. For optional installation of 6" top assembly on 4"
valve body, see supplemental instructions.
➨ a. Slide new top assembly onto valve body.
b. Re-install and tighten hex head mounting
screw (3/8" – 16 N.C.) into lower portion of
top assembly and snug with wrench.

c. Replace shock pad and shock pad washer,
Step 2a and lock spacer onto valve stem and tighten. Step 2b
(6" valves will have one roll pin for limit
switches; 4" valve will have two roll pins for
limit switch.)
3. Always operating valve electrically several times
after re-assembly and check carefully for correct
operation.
4. Replace top cover and terminal access plate.
(50"-lbs. torque required on each screw or bolt
to insure tight seal.)

Mismatching Sizes
Top assemblies for 6" valves deliver more thrust
and travel than their 4" counterparts. However, they
can be mounted on a 4" valve body and modified for
correct operation.
Conversely, a 4" top assembly could be mounted
on a 6" valve body but would not deliver adequate
thrust or travel. No modifications are available. This
arrangement should not be attempted.
1. Proceed to install 6" top assembly on 4" body
➨ same as 4" to 4", but stop prior to remounting
top cover.
2. Install 5/32" x 2-1/4" roll pin as shown in photo-
graph. This pin will actuate motor limit switch
(not shown) 3/4" early and compensate for ➨
shorter travel required for 4" valve body.
3. Complete remainder of installation same as for
4" top assembly.
4. Always operate valve electrically several times
Step 1 and check carefully for correct operation before Step 2
returning to service.

1. Shut off all electrical power and close off upstream manual cock.
2. Remove side cover access plate and disconnect solenoid power leads (12).
3. Knock out spring pin (1) in top of cast boss of the mainbase with a 3/16" punch.
4. Unscrew mounting screws (2) and remove the solenoid linkage assembly (4)
5. Place the new solenoid linkage (4) in the middle of the cast boss in the top of the mainbase. Make sure that
the catch finger lever arm (11) is to the right of the solenoid linkage (4). See Figure #1 for correct
orientation.
6. Start the spring pin (1) through the front side of the boss, through the solenoid linkage (4) and then through
the back side of the boss. Once started through the back side, drive the spring pin in until it is even with the
front side of boss.
7. Align holes in mainbase and solenoid bracket (5). Applying Loctite to the screws is recommended (Loctite
not included). Start threading mounting screws (2) to mainbase. Locate the solenoid in the upmost position
(away from valve body) before screws are tightened securely.
8. Reconnect the electrical leads.

9. Verify correct operation of the solenoid and catch finger linkage. To do this, first energize the valve. After
the solenoid plunger pulls in, place a large screwdriver behind the solenoid linkage (4) (see Figure #2).
While maintaining pressure to the solenoid linkage (4) with the screwdriver, shut-off the power to the valve
when the center of the roller bearing is horizontally in line with the center of the spring retainer pin (see
Figure #3).
CAUTION: Keep fingers clear of the mainbase internals.

Top Assembly Rotation (Electro-mechanical CP Valves)


Maxon valves can and should be ordered in a configuration compatible with planned piping, but if open/shut
indicator window is not visible and/or valve orientation is not proper, the top assembly can be rotated in 90°
increments around the valve body centerline axis by the following procedure:
1. Shut off all electrical power and close off upstream manual cock.
2. Remove side cover access plate and disconnect power lead wires. (Tag carefully for later re-assembly.)
3. Remove conduit and electrical leads.
4. Note physical position of any signal switch actuator wands on auxiliary signal switches.
5. Unscrew the two body bolts screwed up from the bottom to 1/4 inch. DO NOT completely remove. These
bolts secure the valve body to the valve’s top assembly housing.
6. Gently lift the top assembly (not more than 1/4" in height); just enough to break the seal between the valve
body assembly and the rubber gasket adhering to the bottom of the top housing.
WARNING: LIFTING TOO FAR MAY DISLODGE SOME SMALL PARTS INSIDE THE TOP HOUSING,
REQUIRING COMPLEX RE-ASSEMBLY AND RETESTING BY TRAINED FACTORY PERSONNEL.
7. Remove the two body bolts screwed up from the bottom (were partially unscrewed in step 5).
8. Carefully rotate top assembly to the desired position in a plane parallel to the top of the valve body casting.
Rotate the top housing about 30° beyond this position, and then rotate it back. Reposition the top housing
back down onto the valve body casting. This should align the open/shut indicator with its window and
provide proper alignment of the internal mechanism.
9. Realign holes in valve body casting with the corresponding tapped holes in the bottom of the top assembly
housing. Be sure the gasket is still in place between the body and top housing.

Valve Body Design Details


Rising Stem To provide fuel shut-off in your process service lines, Maxon
Valve Body uses two different styles of valve bodies:
Assembly
Rising stem (guillotine action) bodies are frequently used
in normally closed and normally open gas valves. The micro-
lapped, spring loaded guillotine disc gets a pressure assist from
the flowing gases to seal against the downstream micro-lapped
metal seat ring. The carefully machined seal surfaces and
extremely close tolerances of the valve body operating mecha-
nism promote positive closing action. Frequent cycling action
constantly shears accumulated dirt or residue from the disc and
seat to insure instantaneous and reliable sealing.

The location of the port in the disc is the basic difference


Seat between normally open and normally closed valve bodies. Both
valves function by the top assembly mechanism driving the stem
and disc down into the valve body, opening (or closing) the flow
path. Both valves trip to their rest position when their top
assembly's compression spring is released to pull the stem and
connected disc up out of the body.
Normally Closed
Disc
Normally Open Disc

Swinging Gate Swinging gate bodies are frequently used as normally


Valve Body closed oil valves and for some special service gas applications.
Assembly This design provides the same seal capabilities, but in a slightly
different operating mode. The hard faced micro-lapped seat nut
is threaded into the one-piece valve body. The free-floating, hard
faced, spring loaded circular disc swings across the seat. Line
pressure also assists in sealing the disc to the downstream seat.

Here again, frequent use and cycles actually helps to keep


your valve clean. Since the free-floating disc is swinging across
the circular seat nut on the arc created by the disc carrier, the
Disc disc rotates slightly on every cycle. This provides a fresh, clean
Carrier surface area for sealing off the flow lines.

Disc Maxon valve bodies have special service trim options


available to meet your particular fluid service requirements.

Overhead Wheel & Chain Assembly


Overhead wheel and chain assembly allows
operation of a manual reset valve in an otherwise
inaccessible overhead location. A wheel is mounted
onto the handle of the valve. The attached chain is
weighted on one end and has a paddle handgrip on
the other.
Once the valve is electrically energized, pulling
down on the paddle will open normally closed ver-
sions or close normally open versions.
Maxon valve's free-handle design permits valve to
trip to its rest position on any power interruption.
Wheel and chain assembly includes a length of
chain to position the paddle handgrip slightly below
pipe centerline. A standard length of 7 feet of chain is
included with CP and larger valve sizes and 5 feet is
included with all other valves. Extra chain (in one foot
increments) may be specified to fit your specific
location.

Overhead Wheel & Chain Assembly


Overhead wheel and chain assembly allows
operation of a manual reset valve in an otherwise
inaccessible overhead location. A wheel is mounted
onto the handle of the valve. The attached chain is
weighted on one end and has a paddle handgrip on
the other.
Once the valve is electrically energized, pulling
down on the paddle will open normally closed ver-
sions or close normally open versions.
Maxon valve's free-handle design permits valve to
trip to its rest position on any power interruption.
Wheel and chain assembly includes a length of
chain to position the paddle handgrip slightly below
pipe centerline. A standard length of 7 feet of chain is
included with CP and larger valve sizes and 5 feet is
included with all other valves. Extra chain (in one foot
increments) may be specified to fit your specific
location.

Maxon Valves with Air Actuators


For quick opening or closing action

Design Features and Operating Concepts


Normally-closed shut-off valves use 65 - 100 PSIG instrument air to open in
approximately four seconds, release of control air through 3-way solenoid valve
gives closure in less than one second.

Normally-open vent valves use 70 - 100 PSIG instrument air to close in


approximately four seconds after introduction of control air and will open in less
than one second upon release of control air.

ACTIONAIR® valve enclosures meet NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4 & 12; and CSA 2, 4

ACTIONAIR® valve electrical components and accessories comply with UL


(Underwriters Laboratories) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association)
standards.

Rotatable top assembly for field piping convenience and lubrication-free body
design means minimal field maintenance.

Cast iron or cast steel bodies feature metal-to-metal seating that wears in,
not out. Straight-through flow path minimizes pressure drop through full open
swinging gate or rising-stem guillotine action bodies.

with Natural Gas at 1 PSIG inlet pressures

Approximate pressure
drops for various valve
sizes and flows may be
determined by using this
graph.
Typically, pressure drop
for fuel flows should not
exceed 10% of inlet
pressure; however, for 2"
and smaller valves, the
drop should not exceed 5
PSIG, and for 2-1/2" and
larger size valves, must
not exceed 2.5 PSIG.
Select valve size on
basis of the lower of these
parameters to avoid critical
flow conditions.

this graph showing
approximate pres-

flows of #2 oil.
Typically, pressure
drop for fuel flows
should not exceed
10% of inlet pres-
sure.

equivalent flow of #2 oil and the
allowable drop. For example: To size for 5 psi drop with a 3500 GPH flow of #6 oil
preheated to 140°F, the multiplier is "2". Equivalent flow of #2 oil is
then 3500 x 2, or 7000 GPH. Chart shows that a 5 psi drop will
require use of a valve body having a Cv factor of at least 45.

Top Assembly Rotation

Maxon valves can and should be ordered in a


configuration compatible with planned piping, but if
open/shut indicator window is not visible and/or valve
orientation is not proper, the top assembly can be
rotated in 90° increments around the valve body
centerline axis by the following procedure:
1. Shut off all electrical and pneumatic power
and close off upstream manual cock.
2. Remove wiring access cover plate [2] and
disconnect power lead wires. (Tag carefully for
later re-assembly.)
3. Remove conduit, electrical leads, and any air
line connections.
4. Note physical position of any signal switch
actuator wands on auxiliary signal switches (see
switch arrangement sketch).
5. Unscrew the two body bolts [4] screwed up from
the bottom to 1/4 inch. DO NOT completely
remove. These bolts secure the valve body [3] to
the valve’s top assembly housing [5].
6. Gently lift the top assembly [5] (not more than
1/4" in height); just enough to break the seal
between the valve body assembly and the rubber
gasket adhering to the bottom of the top housing.
This step may require loosening the stem
coupling [6] to permit components freedom of
movement. Auxiliary Switch Arrangement
WARNING: LIFTING TOO FAR MAY DISLODGE

7. Remove the two body bolts [4] screwed up from
the bottom (were partially unscrewed in step 5).
8. Carefully rotate top assembly to the desired
position in a plane parallel to the top of the valve
body casting. Rotate the top housing about 30°
beyond this position, and then rotate it back.

Installation Instructions (cont'd.)

6. Series 8000 Valves require clean, dry gas piped to the inlet of the actuator at the designated pressures de-
picted on the valve nameplate. Typically compressed air is the actuating medium, however, certain applications
require the use of other gases to the actuator inlet.

A. Compressed Air
i. The vent, located on the underside of the base plate, should be protected from accidental blockage.
ii. Although Maxon Series 8000 Valves do not require lubrication, they do contain Buna-N seals in the
actuator sub-assembly. Quality of the compressed air supply must not contain any lubricant that is not
compatible with Buna-N elastomers. Although many synthetic oils and additives have been publicized for
advanced lubricating characteristics in pneumatic systems, strict attention should be exercised to avoid
their use, even in minute amounts.
B. Natural Gas and other fuel gases can be used to actuate the Series 8000 Valve when the appropriate
considerations are taken into account.
i. Apply only the Intrinsically Safe Series 8000 Valve for the application. The general purpose and non-
incendive options are not suitable for fuel gas activation.
ii. The activating fuel gas must be clean and free of moisture. The Series 8000 actuator contains Buna-N
elastomers and brass components that will come in contact with the activating gas. The quality of the
gas must not contain any contaminates or constituents that are not compatible with Buna-N or brass. If
needed, contact Maxon Corporation for appropriate application assistance.
iii. The exhaust gas must be vented to the atmosphere in a safe manner by piping from the filtered vent,
located on the underside of the actuator’s base plate. A female 1/8” NPT connection in the base plate
allows for proper piping.

7. Environmental Specifications
A. Actuators are rated for NEMA 4, IP65 or NEMA 4, 4X, IP65
B. Ambient temperature range of -40°F (-40°C) to 140°F (60°C) for the 8011, 8111, 8021, and 8121 General
Purpose and 8012, 8112, 8022, and 8122 Non-Incendive series valves.
C. Ambient temperature range of -40°F (-40°C) to 122°F (50°C) for 8013, 8113, 8023, and 8123 Intrinsically
Safe series valves.
D. All valves for oxygen service or using Ethylene Propylene body seals are limited to a minimum ambient
temperature of 0°F (-17°C).

Rack & Pinion Operating Mechanisms


Rack & pinion operating mechanisms provide
for fast manual operation on Modular Special Service
Valves in applications with higher line pressures.
The rack & pinion mechanism provides a greater
mechanical advantage than lever operating
mechanisms.
NOTE: Excessive pull on valve arm, as through
impact or use of a cheater bar, can cause threaded For use with 1-1/2"
valves to turn in the line and may result in leakage through 8"V flanged
and/or mechanical damage. Therefore, the rack & body valves
pinion operating mechanism is not a practical
option for a threaded valve body assembly.
Selection of any rack & pinion operating Rack & pinion operating mechanism on
mechanism must begin with the choice of your 1-1/2" Figure 3-FL-15-3 valve
valve body from pages 6503-6505 of this section,

Flow Control Valves


MICRO-RATIO® Valve assemblies are used
for air, gas and oil proportioning control. The multiple
screw cam assembly provides mechanical adjustment
capabilities to the air/fuel ratio at each valve position
throughout the entire capacity range of your burner
system.
Throttling range is fully adjustable and designed to
operate over the extremely wide turndown capabilities
of Maxon’s modern burner systems.
Stand-by fuel requirements are simplified by
using tandem-linked “air-gas-oil” valves to provide
single point control for multiple fuel or multiple zone
systems (see photo below).

SYNCHRO Valves (below) may be used


independently for individual adjustable gradient fuel
flow control, or in tandem with other fuel control
valves for more sophisticated multi-zone control
Gas applications. Totally enclosed cam option is available
for greater protection against hostile environments.
Smaller sizes of SYNCHRO Valves use
characterized “V” ports in a poppet disc for greatest
refinement of control. Larger sizes feature a butterfly-
type disc for maximum capacity with minimum
pressure drop for gas or air flows.

Air Valves are normally
sized to match the combustion
air pipe sizing. Pressure drops
of 1" wc to 2.5" wc are typical.
If supply pressures are higher
than required, smaller valves
can be used, or travel limited to
restrict maximum flow rate.

Note: The capacities and


pressure drops indicated in
this chart are based on flow
through a wide-open valve. If
valve is less than fully open,
higher drops and lower flows

Performance Data
SYNCHRO Oil Valves – #2 Fuel Oil Service
Oil Valves are normally sized for
approximately 5 psi pressure drop. For #2 oil
service, see chart at left.
For preheated #5 or #6 oil, multiply the
required flow rate in gph by the factor given in
the table shown below the chart, then select a
valve based upon that equivalent flow of #2 oil
and its allowable pressure drop.

Note: The capacities and pressure drops


indicated in this chart are based on flow
through a wide-open valve. If valve is less
than fully open, higher drops and lower flows
will result.

For example: To size for 5 psi drop with a 50 gph


flow of #6 preheated to 140°F, the multiplier is “2”.
Equivalent flow of #2 oil is then 50 x 2, or 100 gph.
Chart shows that a 5 psi drop will require use of a

Special application of Series “Q” Valve for stand-by service on PREMIX®


Blower Mixers and Series “66” AIRFLO® Mixers
Propane is frequently used as a stand-by fuel for
natural gas. When propane is carburetted with air at a
central mixing point and delivered in the regular natural
gas lines at a Btu value and specific gravity permitting
performance characteristics closely matching the
primary fuel, it may be burned in most industrial gas
equipment without any change in adjustment.
However, LPG can also often be used in the raw,
uncarburetted state. For example, the Maxon Series
“Q” Gas Control Valve may be linked to the ratio valve
of a Maxon PREMIX® Blower Mixer or Series “66”
AIRFLO® Mixer to provide for pre-adjustment of the
fuel-air ratio for both the primary fuel and a stand-by
fuel.

Suggested Maintenance/Inspection Procedures


Series “A” SYNCHRO Flow Control Valves

Valve Lubrication Suggestions


Some lubrication of moving parts may be
required. All moving parts, O-rings and cam strips are
lubricated at time of manufacturing. A periodic
inspection should be performed to insure all parts
continue to move freely and function properly. A
periodic re-application of lubricant will extend the
service life of your Maxon MICRO-RATIO® Valve.

The following lubricants are suggested:

Manufacturer Lubricant

Keystone Div., #84-EP-2, NLGL #2


Philadelphia, PA Lithium base grease

Standard Oil Co. Stanolith grease #42


(of Indiana)

Shell Oil Co. Alvania grease #1

Stewart Warner Corp. Alemite lubricant #32

• Flow Control Valves provide the means to adjust
fluid and/or gas flows. They should be installed
with at least four pipe diameter lengths of straight
pipe before and after the valve. This lessens the
chance of internal flow turbulence being set-up in
the piping manifolds and control valve.

Screw Carrier Rotation Instructions


To rotate screw carrier in 90° increments:
– Remove four base bolts.
– Rotate screw carrier on its shaft to desired position.
– Reinstall base bolts.

See following page for detailed explanation of the data sheet shown below.
Product Data Sheet Product: Series “A” Flow Control Valves

(for Maxon Personnel only) Page: 7100-2 Date: 6/02

Do Not Reproduce

Series “A” SYNCHRO Valve Technical Data Sheet Instructions:


1. All required inputs are highlighted in yellow blocks.

2. All calculated or pulled data values are in highlighted green blocks.

3. If “other” is selected from the Gas pull-down menu, inputs are highlighted under the “Other Gas” heading in light
red.

4. Label Technical Data Sheet by “Customer Name” and “Proposal or Job #”.

5. Select type of Gas from the pull-down menu.


5.1 Gas from pull-down menu inputs Gg, Z, k & R values @ 80 deg. F
5.2 If gas is available from the pull-down menu, but the temperature changes the values of Gg, Z, k & R
significantly, choose “Other” from the gas pull-down menu and input values of Gg, Z, k & R under the
“Other Gas” heading.
5.3 If gas is not available from pull down menu, choose “Other” and input values for Gg, Z, k & R under the
“Other Gas” heading.

6. Input “Gas Temperature”, “Maximum Flow” and “Turndown Required” in their respective units.

7. Select “Gage Pressure Units” from the pull-down menu in inches of H2O or PSI.

8. Input “Valve Inlet Pressure at Maximum Flow (P1)” in previously selected units.
8.1 This is the static pressure measured 2 nominal pipe diameters upstream of the control valve.
8.2 Piping losses must be considered between the regulator and the control valve.
For example:
At maximum flow conditions, the customer has 8 in. of H2O outlet of the regulator and will achieve an
additional 1.5 inches of H2O drop up to the control valve (due to piping and SOVs). The value to input will
be 6.5 of H2O.

9. Input “Valve Outlet Pressure at Maximum Flow (P2)” in previously selected units.
9.1 This is the static pressure measured 6 nominal pipe diameters downstream of the control valve.
9.2 This value is typically the gas pressure required at the burner at maximum flow. However, if significant
piping losses are to occur between the control valve and burner, the losses must be accounted for in this
input.

10. Input “Upstream Pressure Drops to Regulated Source Plus Droop”.


10.1 This input is required to determine if the turndown required is achievable.
10.2 Using the example in 8.2 above, the value for this input would be 1.5 in. of H2O.

11. The Application Summary section tabulates the flow, inlet and outlet pressure and a preliminary Cv required at
maximum and minimum conditions. The values assume equal valve size and line size.

12. Select customer’s line size from the pull-down menu.

Series “A” SYNCHRO Valve Technical Data Sheet Instructions:


13. Select valve size from the pull-down menu that will operate per the following guidelines:
13.1 Valve is to operate between 80% and 90% of capacity.
13.2 Valve outlet velocity to not exceed 33% sonic velocity due to noise considerations.
13.3 Valve selected must have a minimum catalog Cv rating lower than the application Cv at minimum
conditions.
13.4 Valve application cannot have a higher MOPD than catalog value.

14. “Suggestions” box will help you to accurately size the valve per the above requirements:
14.1 When the Application Required Cv is greater than Valve Catalog Cv at Maximum:
- Choose a larger valve or increase inlet pressure.
14.2 When the Application Cv is less than 60% of the Valve Catalog Cv at Maximum:
- Choose a smaller valve or decrease inlet pressure.
14.3 When the Application Cv is greater than 90% but less than 100% of the Valve Catalog Cv:
- Increase inlet pressure to decrease capacity to < 90%
14.4 When the Application Cv is greater than 60% but less than 80% of the Valve Catalog Cv:
- Lower inlet pressure to increase capacity to > 80%
14.5 When Minimum Catalog Cv is greater than Minimum Condition Application Cv:
- Turndown not achievable. Modify parameters.
14.6 When fluid velocity at outlet is greater than 33% sonic velocity:
- Caution: Velocity should be < 33% sonic to minimize noise.
