EXCESS AIR Excess air can improve temperature uniformity by avoiding hot spots in front of burners, by churning furnace atmosphere to reduce stratification, and by creating positive furnace pressure to eliminate cold air infiltration. Excess air can give very high effective burner turndown. Thus a furnace used for high temperature work (such as heat treating at 1900°F) with burners firing on stoichiometric air/fuel ratio can also be used for low temperature jobs (such as drawing or dry- ing at 600°F) with burners firing on lean ratio.

TILE SUPPORT JACKETS (6422- -LC, 6422- -L4, 6422- -L9 )

6422 Burners with the standard 9" long square tiles are also available with support jackets for applications such as air heaters where frequently the tile is not supported by refractory. They also can be mounted in furnaces when desired. Jackets are available in three different metals and maximum temperature ratings. They must be protected with sufficient insulation so as not to exceed rated temperature. Maximum temperature rating for jacket metals depends upon frequency of heat-up/cool-down cycles. As an example, batch annealing furnaces that are heated and cooled every day should use the "intermittent exposure" ratings. Burners in a continuous annealing furnace that remain at the same temperature for months at a time, can use the higher "continuous" rating.
