Advanced Performance (API)

Inject-Aire Low NOx Burner

Swing open housing allows for

easy maintenance of the burner.

The Advanced Performance Inject-Aire Low NOx

burner (API) produces an exceptionally stable
flame at all firing rates.

Positioning knob with

limit switch extends oil
nozzle life by withdrawing the oil atomizer
without opening the
burner.

Fuel Variety
Capable of firing natural gas, light oil, heavy oil,
digester gas, ethanol, and more, the API offers a
wide range of fuel burning capability.
Advanced Design
Our engineers specifically designed this
burner to eliminate field errors, reduce space
requirements, and facilitate maintenance when
needed.
Two models are available: API-RF allows for the
fan to be placed remotely; API-AF is designed for
smaller applications and ease of maintenance.

API-RF
Burner

High Efficiency
Low Emissions
The API burner incorporates VFD for control of
Natural Gas: as low as 30 ppmc without FGR in
FD fan speed, resulting in significant electrical
reductions, regardless of the type of fuel burned. select applications

API-AF
Burner

Gas injectors are tailored

to each application to
ensure the best possible
performance for your fired
unit.

Direct drive

Preferreds Y-jet air

atomized nozzle provides

Dimensions

Specification
Applications:

Single burner: firetube, firebox (cast iron sectional), watertube boilers, or

HTHW generators.

Fuel:

No. 2 through No. 6 fuel oil, and/or natural gas (consult factory for biomass or
waste fuels).

NOx Emissions:

Natural gas: as low as 30 ppmc without FGR.

No. 2 fuel oil: less than 90 ppmc (maximum 0.01% FBN) without FGR.
No. 6 fuel oil: less than 250 ppmc (maximum 0.30% FBN) without FGR.

Burner Efficiency:

Any fuel: 1.5 - 2.5% excess oxygen 50 - 100% firing rate (exclusive of tramp air)
VFD motor control for maximum electrical efficiency of combustion air.

Operation:

Turndown: 10:1 on gas firing; 8:1 on oil firing.

Supply Pressures:

The API burner accomodates a wide variety of combustion applications and

fuels. Specific information relating to fuels intended to be used, as well as pressures and temperatures, must be provided.

Burner Control &

Monitoring:

Parallel/full metering firing rate control: any Preferred controller, including our
new BurnerMate Light.
Oxygen sensor: Model ZP In-Situ sensor, reliable zirconia oxide detector.
Monitoring: SCADA/Flex remote monitoring and control system.
Instruments: Standard and optional equipment available.

Additional
Options:

Draft control, drum level control, low fire fuel changeover, dual/redundant flame
scanning, smoke opacity monitoring and alarm, atomizer post purge capability,
flue gas temperature indication alarm, emergency boiler shutdown.

Note: NOx performance is furnace geometry and

heat release rate dependent. Lower NOx emissions are

attainable by introducing FGR.
