Introduction to burner accessories

Burner accessories are auxiliary components that complement and optimize the operation of burners in industrial and domestic combustion systems. These accessories allow you to control, regulate and improve the efficiency and safety of the combustion process, facilitating the management of the fuel and air necessary for combustion.

These elements include everything from control devices, valves, solenoid valves, to ignition systems and sensors, which together guarantee stable, safe and efficient operation of the burner, adapting to various types of fuels and applications.

Valves and solenoid valves

Valves and solenoid valves are essential accessories to control the flow of fuel and air in burners. They allow the passage of gas or combustible liquid to be opened or closed, ensuring that the supply is regulated and safe. Solenoid valves are normally activated by electrical signals, making it easy to automate the process.

There are different types depending on their function and design, including safety valves that prevent fuel leakage and regulation valves that allow the flow to be adjusted to optimize combustion. The correct selection and maintenance of these valves is vital to avoid accidents and energy losses.

In applications where diesel is used, it is common to use normally closed solenoid valves to prevent fuel circulation when the burner is off, increasing operational safety.

Ignition and ignition systems

Ignition systems are accessories that allow combustion to start in the burner. These can be by electric spark, pilot or permanent flame ignition. The choice of system depends on the type of burner and fuel used.

Electric spark ignition, generally using electrodes, is very common in modern burners due to its speed and precision. Pilot systems, although more traditional, are still used in specific applications where initial flame stability is required.
