  150–1,300 kg/h

 

 

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.
