Direct-fired burners are often evaluated based on heating capacity, efficiency, and operating range. But for today’s industrial and commercial HVAC equipment, combustion performance and emissions are also important considerations from the beginning of the design...
When designing a direct-fired make-up air system, burner selection is only one part of the equation. Airflow arrangement can have an equally important impact on combustion performance, temperature uniformity, equipment layout, and overall system operation. One of the...
Sizing a direct-fired make-up air burner can seem complicated, but the process becomes much easier when the right variables are evaluated together. Burner sizing isn’t simply about choosing a burner that can produce enough BTUs. Airflow, temperature rise, burner...
When evaluating direct-fired make-up air burners, heat input, airflow, burner sizing, and performance are often the first considerations. While each is important, long-term burner reliability also depends heavily on the controls and safety systems managing combustion....
Today’s OEMs face increasing demands for higher efficiency, flexible equipment designs, easier maintenance, and improved system reliability. As make-up air systems become more advanced, burner technology must evolve to meet changing performance expectations. One...
As energy efficiency requirements, indoor air quality expectations, and industrial heating demands continue to evolve, OEMs must carefully evaluate whether a direct-fired or indirect-fired make-up air system is the best fit for their equipment. While both technologies...
