Figure 3.6. Refractory Block

Large Refractory Blocks

On sizes RM0300 through RM3000; the block must be

tightly surrounded by a collar made of brick, plastic

refractory, or a castable refractory of at least 4" (10 cm)

minimum thickness on all sides of the block. If the collar is

cast around the block, a thin plastic film (i.e. Saran Wrap

or Glad Wrap

) should be wrapped around the block to

keep moisture from leaching into it. The collar should be

anchored to the furnace shell with suitable anchors and

must be constructed to rest on a surface capable of

supporting its weight, such as a hearth or a solid refractory

or brick wall. For furnaces that are unable to support the

weight of the refractory block, a stainless steel shelf can be

welded to the shell to support the collar.

NOTE: All refractory blocks are cured at a minimum

temperature of 550°F (300°C) prior to shipment.

NOTE: The correct insulation of burner combustion blocks

in furnaces results in longer block life and adds value by

reducing downtime and maintenance.

Block Holder Temperature

Excessive block holder temperatures can cause

problems. Overheating can be reduced by carefully

sealing the burner blocks in the wall to prevent the

leakage of hot gases back to the furnace shell.

In high temperature (>1,400°F, 760°C) fiber-wall furnace

installations, the length of the metallic wrapper should

extend no farther than the point in the wall where the

interface temperature is higher than 1800°F (760°C).

Vertical Down Firing Blocks (Figure 3.6)

1. Down firing blocks may be suspended by customer

supplied hangers attached to the burner body mounting

bolts.

2. Hangers should be attached to structural support.

Gas Piping

Burner Piping

The burner is factory assembled and shipped as ordered.

NOTE: If it is necessary to redirect piping, be sure the:

• ratio regulator spring column  is pointing up.

• arrow on the ratio regulator points in the direction of

gas flow.

• integral fuel orifice and o-rings  are re-installed in

the same orientation with respect to the fuel flow.

• same straight run of pipe  remains between the

ratio regulator and the burner.

Figure 3.7. Burner Piping

Supply Piping

Inlet pressure to the ratio regulator must stay within

specified limits. Refer to the appropriate RatioMatic

datasheet.

• Locate the valve train close to the burner. The gas

must reach the burner during the fixed trial for

ignition.

• Appropriately size shut off valves in the valve train.

• Make sure piping is large enough to accommodate

flow required to meet burner input.

• Minimize piping elbows.

• If a reducing nipple is necessary, install it at the inlet

to the burner proportionator. Do not use a reducing

bushing in the proportionator inlet.

Bypass Start Gas Piping (Optional for RM0050-

RM0700 Only)

Install the piping as shown in the schematics using the

following guidelines:

• Locate the bypass start gas solenoids  close to the

burner. The gas must reach the burner during the

trial for ignition period.

• Minimize piping elbows.
