Looking to maximize the performance of your industrial burners? Finding better tools to measure the fuel-air mixture feeding your burners is a big part of the solution, helping to improve efficiency, deliver energy savings, reduce maintenance requirements, and lower emissions.
Whether you’re firing a boiler, furnace, kiln, or smelter, optimized combustion control requires accurate measurement of the mixture of fuel and air feeding your system. Knowing the exact proportions of air and natural gas you are burning is essential to developing and executing an efficient burner management plan to reduce fuel usage and improve performance over time.
As this video explains, accurate measurement allows your burners to hit the sweet spot where both fuel and air flows support efficient combustion while mitigating emissions.
Flow measurement devices like thermal mass flow meters provide direct measurement of the actual flow rate of fuel entering your system without the need to compensate for temperature and pressure. This allows for fine-tuned control of your natural gas-combustion air mix and the ability to compensate for variations in temperature and pressure in real-time.
Fox Thermal’s tried-and-trusted thermal flow measurement devices, including our FT1, FT2A, FT3, FT4A, and FT4X units, provide rapid readings of even the lowest flow levels, and come in both insertion and in-line configurations, so you can fine-tune your burn control systems and stay on top of your air-to-fuel ratio minute by minute.
Select models also come with CAL-V™ calibration validation, so you can be sure your meter retains the precise NIST-traceable calibration we shipped it with.
