Metal Fibre Burners

Pune-based Litel Infrared Systems, in association with NV Acotech SA of Belgium (a Shell Bekaert joint venture), offers gas fired infrared burners. These specialty burners are called metal fibre burners (MFB). Surface combustion is a gas burning technique in which pre mixed gas and air burns on a surface layer of a permeable and/or perforated medium. The permeable medium of the MFB consists of fine metal fibres. These are sintered together to produce a rigid but highly porous panel. This perforation leads to a more homogeneous combustion.. The advantages of MFB over other conventional burners: homogeneous combustion with high modulation rate; no need of air intake filter; excellent low emission values; low pressure drop across the material; noise free and resonance free combustion; high flashback resistance; free thermal expansion control due to flexible textile character; high resistance to thermal shocks; mechanical solidity; fast response; and fast cool down. Areas of applications: domestic boilers and heaters; industrial boilers and heaters; food industry for grilling, frying and baking; paper, textile, paint drying; curing of coatings; process heaters for refinery and petro-chemical industry; steam generators; car glass bending; glass treatment and annealing; aluminium casting; and steel industry.
