Introduction

Product Description

The Eclipse AH-MA DualBlock burner belongs to the
family of "AH-MA burners" and it is designed for work at
the core of the air flow to be heated. It is modular and with
the mixing in the head. The burner itself is supplied with a
flange to couple it to the wall or it can be mounted on a
plate ready for insertion into the unit machine or duct,
needing a minimum combustion chamber. The fan may be
interior or exterior to the machine or duct. The standard
applications are for ducts in depression or lightly over-
pressured.

These burners are designed to obtain an extremely clean
combustion. Their complete independence from the air
flow to be heated permits their application in all types of
furnaces, ovens and dryers, even when there is a high
degree of humidity, very low concentration of oxygen,
large variations in the flow, etc.

The great flexibility of the power that these units can work
with, a ratio higher than 20 to 1 permits changing from the
maximum to minimum power to correctly attend the needs
of the system temperature.
