Industrial Medium Velocity Burner for Gas EMB
ESA’s EMB series are metallic gas burners used for direct heating. EMBs allow excess air, stoichiometric, and excess gas regulation. Depending on size and use, EMBs can be used for natural gas and LPG combustion (in the standard version) and other types of gaseous combustion agents with different heating properties. (Special versions available upon request.) Read More
Elektrogas Solenoid Actuators and Butterfly Valves
Elektrogas solenoid actuators SR, SL, and ST operate VF, VFH, and VFT butterfly valves in two step control of gas and air flow in combustion processes. Elektrogas S series actuators are available with fast opening and fast closing (<1s), slow opening (3-4s) and fast closing or with slow opening and slow closing (3-4s). They have two regulating Read More
FAQ: What is an Ignition Transformer?
Q: What is an Ignition Transformer? A: Ignition transformers are used to ignite a mixture of gas and air by delivering a high-energy spark to the end of an ignition electrode rod. The ignition transformer takes an input voltage & current and outputs a much higher voltage. For example, 120 volts can become thousands of Read More
