Hauck’s BBC Gas/Oil Combination Beta Burner is designed for exceptionally long life in continuous or intermittent operation in furnace, kiln and dryer environments. The BBC is well suited for applications operating under back pressure. Burner capacities range from 2.5 million to more than 100 million Btu/hr (730 to 29,300 kW). Preheated air versions are available up to 900°F (480°C). The BBC is designed to operate with all types of industrial fuel oils, including heavy oils, and with all industrial fuel gasses with or without preheat. The burner can fire with diverging tiles or converging tiles for shorter, higher velocity flames.

furnace
Advantages
Beta burners are baffle type burners designed for low air pressure operation in a wide range of applications including steel reheat furnaces, rotary kilns, gypsum kettles, air heaters and incinerators. Available with stainless steel or refractory baffle with application temperatures of 2000°F (1090°C) and 2800°F (1540°C) respectively. The 1100 and 2100 series can operate with air preheat temperatures up to 600°F (315°C). The 3100 series can operate with air preheat temperatures up to 900°F (480°C).
The BBC is designed to operate with all types of industrial fuel oils, including heavy oils, and with any clean industrial fuel gas with a gross calorific value of 500 Btu/scf (4700 Kcal/nm3) or greater.
Capacities range from 2.5 million to more than 100 million Btu/hr (730 to 29,300 kW). The Beta burner’s flame shapes are well defined throughout the burner’s operating range.
Fuel turndown is 8:1 with higher thermal turndown possible with excess air firing.
Nominal burner air supply pressure is 8 osig (3450 Pa). Nominal gas supply pressure is 4 osig (1725 Pa).
The burner can be supplied with a self supporting tile for soft wall applications. For hard refractory installations, a self supporting tile or mandrel for field pouring of a burner port can be supplied. Hauck for mounting options.
All burners are ignited by a spark ignited gas pilot and can utilize UV flame supervision. Diverging tile designs can be ignited from a hot furnace.
