Description
The KBE™ rotary cup burner is an optimized
version of the KB™ burner based
on well-proven technology. It meets the
requirements of stable operation and
easy maintenance. Born with an electronic
air/fuel ratio control, a very exact
control of the KBE™ burner is possible,
and its ignition point enables the most
dependable ignition. The KBE™ burner
comes with an improved control panel design, a logical positioning of connection points, and is simple to operate.
The KBE™ burner also has a 5-15% lower
power consumption than the KB™ (relative
to burner size). The low weight KBE™ burner can be bolted or welded onto
the boiler and is designed to sustain
shipment well due to its sleek design.
The working principle of rotary cup
burners is based on atomizing by centrifugal
force. The atomizing cup is driven
at high speed via a heavy-duty belt
drive.
The oil is gently positioned at low
pressure into the spinning cup where
gradually, and forced by the centrifugal action of the cup, it moves forward until it is thrown off the cup rim as a very
fine, uniform film.
The high-velocity primary air discharged
around the cup strikes the oil film,
breaks it up and converts it into a mist of fine particles, which are introduced into the combustion zone and burner.
The secondary air necessary for complete
combustion is supplied by a
forced-draught fan through the windbox
and burner air register. A safety
device built into the KBE™ prevents
wrong adjustment of tertiary air that
may cause damage to the swirler and
cup.
Heavy fuel oil fired rotary cup burner
Normally, atomizing takes place at
a viscosity of approx. 45 cSt., which
ensures a particle size small enough to
burn quickly and completely.
The KBE™ burner is a typical rotary cup
burner with combustion air according
to the forced draught fan location principle.
For KBE™ 150-750 the fan is mounted on the burner. On KBE™ 1000-1300, the fan is delivered as a loose item. Primary air is supplied from the integrated
primary air fan for burner types
KBE™ 150–1300.
