Burners

Burners

Forney supplies a broad range of oil, gas or dual fuel burners offering a wide range of capacities and configurations depending on the required application.

Forney’s Duct Burners provide superior performance in combined-cycle and cogeneration applications. Our supplemental firing history dates back to the 1960’s and has expanded to the variety of products we offer today. Forney offers a versatile line of duct burner solutions to meet the ever changing demands of today’s power and industrial markets.

Forney offers multiple burner options to support the unique heating requirements in the low oxygen flue environment of large coal, gas and oil fired conventional power plants.

Igniters

IGNITERS

Igniters provide the ignition energy to ignite the main fuel for utility and large industrial steam generators. Forney provides a complete line of oil and natural gas igniters for all burner types. The DURAFire® air atomized No. 2 oil igniter features the only “protected primary combustion zone” design on the market.

The HESI is a Class 3 Igniter used for direct spark ignition of oil or gas igniters, small burners, and combustion turbines. The Standard HESI is FM approved and the CE Version meets the Low Voltage Directive and Electromagnetic Interference Immunity Directive. An ATEX version is also available.

Forney’s High Energy Spark Igniter (HESI) provides a highly reliable, non-fouling source of ignition for oil or gas igniters or small burners.

Flame Detectors

FLAME DETECTORS

A UV/IR flame detector consists of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) sensors that are joined together in a single apparatus. UV sensors work by detecting the UV radiation emitted by the flame and are sensitive to a wide range of flammable fuels including hydrocarbons, sulfur, hydrazine and ammonia.

The flame sensor detects the presence of fire or flame based on the Infrared (IR) wavelength emitted by the flame. It gives logic 1 as output if a flame is detected, otherwise, it gives logic 0 as output.

Burner Management Systems

BURNER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Burner Management Systems are implemented in two general types of platforms. The most common for utilities is in a plant wide Distributive Control System (DCS). Less common but just as reliable is a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

A Burner Management System or BMS is a safety system used to assure safe start-up, operation and shut down of process burners. The BMS can be used in industries like Oil and Gas, Power Generation, Chemical or any other process that uses an industrial burner, furnaces, boilers or other equipment that uses a flame.

Dampers

DAMPERS

A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a duct, chimney, VAV box, air handler, or other air-handling equipment. A damper may be used to cut off central air conditioning (heating or cooling) to an unused room, or to regulate it for room-by-room temperature and climate control.

A damper has a piston which moves inside a sealed, oil-filled cylinder with the up-and-down movement of the wheel. There are narrow control passages and one-way valves in the piston, which allow oil to flow through it from one chamber to another — but only very slowly.
