RIELLO TO INTRODUCE IONISATION PROBE FOR LOW NOX, BLUE FLAME KEROSENE BURNERS… Riello upgrades RDBburners
F ocused on a continuous commitment to innovate, Riello is launching an upgraded version of its RDB kerosene burners with flame- detection ionisation probes. The probes will be available on Riello’s popular RDB BG Low NOx (low nitrogen oxides) blue flame kerosene burner range in the UK and Ireland, replacing the ultra- violet (UV) flame sensors currently used to provide a simpler, longer- lasting safety solution. The flame sensor is a key part of the burner safety circuit, forcing the burner into a controlled shut-down or restart if a flame is not registered after the ignition sequence, or is lost during operation. The operational life of most flame sensors is determined by the operating hours of the appliance. Ionisation probes are a simpler means of flame supervision,
compared to other methods, with a defined life expectancy of approximately 20,000 hours – double the expected life of a UV flame sensor. Located within the flame itself, ionisation probes detect the charged ions that result from the combustion of a hydrocarbon, allowing a small electrical current to be conducted across the flame when applied. If no such current is detected, the burner is forced into a safety shutdown. Ionisation probes are a proven means of flame detection installed
As the oil industry focuses on becoming ‘greener’ and looking to increased implementation of blue flame burners (and hopefully bio liquids), continual development is required to satisfy and surpass all current and future requirements. Burner manufacturers, working with OEM partners, are making a vital contribution to this development. Riello Group, a leader in products and services for heating, air conditioning and energy efficiency, is a part of Carrier, a leading global provider of innovative heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, fire, security and building automation technologies.
in a vast array of combustion equipment and will soon be available for the RDB BG low
NOx kerosene burner range. This product development is in line with Riello’s focus on simplicity and familiarisation of components for engineers, many of whom have worked with ionisation probes on other equipment for years.
