Combustion Catalog | Fives North American

The North American Tempest® High Velocity Gas Burner is one of the world’s most widely used and respected burners

The Tempest® is acclaimed for its high velocity jet action and superior recirculation promoting capabilities. These two features bring both the quality benefit of close temperature uniformity and the productivity benefit of safe higher heating rates up to 3000°F (1650°C). Additionally, a variety of tile material and outlet shape choices provide flexibility in installation with a “flame fitting” to the shape of the combustion chamber.
