Product Overview Features & Benefits
The Flexible Single Tube (FST) Igniter is a reliable source of ignition
energy for use in a tilting tangential type boiler. It is a Class 1, continuous duty,
igniter capable of burner ignition and low load support. It is easily installed in
the auxiliary air nozzles between the main fuel elevations and is designed with
flexible components to accommodate the tilting of the fuel nozzles. The FST
Igniter is capable of burning liquid or gaseous fuels. With capacities up to 10%
of boiler heat input, the FST improves boiler / turbine startup flexibility.
Each FST Igniter includes a flexible fuel gun, a flexible retractable High
Energy Spark Igniter (HESI) and a flame detector with a flexible fiber optic
assembly. The fuel gun has an air swirler at the furnace end which mixes the
windbox air and fuel at the tip to create a stable flame. All major components
are fixed to a burner front plate that is designed to match the existing bolt
pattern at the burner front. All components are designed to freely tilt with the
fuel nozzle through a ±30° angle. Flame detection is accomplished by the use of
either an ultraviolet or infrared detector, depending on the fuel fired.
Optional equipment includes gun retraction, quick disconnect fuel and
atomizing air couplings, as well as an electrical junction box.
