Burner types- Primary Air momentum J-1

Burner types:

Uniflow...............single channel burner

Swirlax FCO.......Original swirlax Folax Coal Oil (fan pressure 140 mbar)
Swirlax SOG...... for Oil and/or Gas firing only (fan pressure 160 –250 mbar)
Swirlax SOC.......for Oil Coal firing and combined firing(fan p. 160 –250 mbar)
Centrax...............for oil and coal or combined. (primary delivered by rotary blower)
Duoflex...............for all fuels ( fan pressure 250 mbar)

Primary air momentum is calculated as:

Lp% x C [%m/sec]
Where:
Lp% = The primary air % of the
Kiln Lmin Flow
C = Primary air velocity at the burner nozzle
