Industrial Burner Dictionary
The core terminology of the industrial combustion industry, defined for engineers and technical professionals.
What is an Industrial Burner?
The fundamental definition, working principle, and purpose of industrial burners.
Burner Controller (BMS)
The safety 'brain' that manages startup sequences, monitors interlocks, and supervises the flame.
Flame Detector
A safety sensor (UV, IR, or Ionization) that verifies the presence of a flame to prevent unburned fuel accumulation.
Ignition Transformer
High-voltage device that generates the electrical arc needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture.
Servo Motor / Actuator
Precision motor that positions air dampers and fuel valves to control the air-fuel ratio.
Solenoid Valve
Electromechanical safety shut-off valve that controls fuel flow and closes instantly upon power loss.
Pressure Switch
Safety device that monitors gas, oil, or air pressure to ensure they remain within safe operating limits.
Gas Leak Detector
Instruments for detecting hazardous leaks or analyzing flue gas composition (O2, CO, NOx) for efficiency.
Burner Nozzle
Component that atomizes oil or distributes gas to ensure proper mixing with combustion air.
