ment of the horizontal and verti-
cal burner angles.
Both angle adjustments have
an influence on each other, as
they are not separated mechani-
cally and the fulcrum of the burn-
er is not located at the burner
nozzle. Adjustment of one angle
influences the other so that the
burner axis moves away from the
burner block axis. These two axes
must then be realigned.
A cast iron sealing plate is
mounted in front of the burner
block to protect the block. There
is a risk that this plate becomes
displaced when the burner angle
is adjusted.
The ever-increasing restric-
tions on furnace emissions
require tightly controlled furnace
operation. This applies in par-
ticular to the burner settings, as
these have a strong influence on
emissions. Consequently, contin-
uous monitoring of the settings
is necessary coupled with adjust-
ment of the burner angle during
changes to operating conditions.
BURNER HOLDER
WITH INTEGRATED
ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
SORG has now developed a
new burner holder with inte-
grated angle adjustment to sim-
plify burner set up. These type
WSH and WSA holders are now
available. These burner hold-
ers eliminate the disadvantages
of all previous burner holders
described above.
The decisive advantage of this
burner holder is the location of
the burner fulcrum directly in
the nozzle head. This means that
the exit point remains station-
ary when the burner is adjusted
vertically or horizontally, and no
realignment is required.
