Warm-up Gun Systems

Designed to directly replace the original QC oil-fired warm-up gun on older tangential-fired boilers, the CTL "Direct Ignition Warm-up Gun" system serves as both ignitor and warm-up gun. This state-of-the-art system eliminates the need for old pilot torch ignitors or the use of "manual" techniques for light-off by directly igniting the fuel (either gas or oil) through a specially designed capacitive discharge spark system. The PLC-based control package provides a simple operator interface for start/stop and firing rate control and subsequent light-off of adjacent main burners is instantaneous.

As proven in reliability tests, maintenance on these ignition warm-up gun systems is near zero. CTL has many installations of warm-up gun systems throughout the country and this remarkable design is now available for all sizes of the corner-fired QC-type warm-up gun.

	Capacitive discharge spark system for direct fuel ignition.
	Turndown ratio of up to 10:1 allowing for main fuel ignition or thermal support.
	High-end inputs for fast boiler warm-up.
	Eliminates aging ignition technologies with simple operator interface.
	Easily integrated into an existing DCS.
	Patented "Smokeless Ignitor" design provides low opacity operation of about 5% on a cold boiler.
	Available for all sizes of corner-fired QC-type warm-guns.
	Heat inputs of up to 150MMBtu/hr.
