The REKO-SIK-NxT-SW by ESA is a sidewall burner in a self-recuperative body utilizing ESA’s NxT technology. A “sidewall” (or “flat flame” or “wall hugging”) burner traditionally uses centrifugal force to achieve a flame that stays close to the refractory wall, avoiding impingement on the work product. The REKO-SIK-NxT-SW works a bit differently, instead dividing the Read More

ESA Complete Combustion Systems
Whatever your combustion needs, ESA offers complete combustion systems to help you reach your goals. Their focus is to give you the functions, controls, and productivity you need. ESA can help you reduce energy cost, lower emissions, and meet all necessary rules and regulations. They’re more than a burner manufacturer, though their product range and Read More
FAQ: What Are Butterfly Valves Used For?
Butterfly valves may be used to regulate, or control flow in combustion systems. The models found on our site allow some flow even when 100% closed. Butterfly valves can be found on both gas and air lines in combustion systems. The “butterfly” part of the name actually refers to the rotating disc connected to a Read More
ESA’s Innovative Self-Check UV Scanner
NFPA86 requires burners being monitored by UV scanners to shut-down at least once every twenty-four hours. Why? The reason is safety. A UV sensor is a consumable part, and can fail in either a safe state (no flame present) or an unsafe state (flame present). A typical life cycle for a UV sensor is around Read More
FAQ What is a Safety Shut-off Valve?
Q: What is a safety shut off valve? A: A safety shut-off valve (SSOV) is a normally closed valve which opens when power is supplied. They are found in the main gas train as well as the burner (gas) train. In a combustion system, safety shut-off valves receive their power from the flame safety device Read More
Elektrogas VMRNA Automatic Vent Valve
VMRNA from Elektrogas is a normally-open vent valve for industrial gas manifolds. This valve is suitable for discharging excess or leakage gas into relief lines, for venting to a safe location (or atmosphere). They function by means of a reverse solenoid valve. This means without power, the valve is open. An inner spring pushes on Read More
ESA RT Industrial Radiant Tube Burner
The ESA RT series are radiant tube burners for gas. RT burners are used for indirect heating; they use heat radiation to provide heat transfer inside a furnace without flame impingement. This also eliminates contamination of the workspace by products of combustion. The radiant tube connects to the burner. They come in many shapes, but Read More
Elektrogas VMM Double Solenoid Valve
Elektrogas VMM solenoid valves are safety devices used to stop the flow of gas in a combustion system. The VMM features two separate solenoid valves in one unit. The first valve is fast opening; when powered, the valve rapidly opens against the strength of the gas flow. When de-energized, the valve closes, pushing on a Read More
FAQ: What is an Industrial Burner?
Q: What is an industrial burner? A: We like to say an industrial burner is just a fancy way of mixing gas and air. This is the primary task of a nozzle-mix burner, because the fuel and air are kept separate right up until the point of combustion. Every manufacturer has a different design for Read More
