Product Description
The BrightFire® 200 burner is an adjustable, low NOX, airfuel burner for installation in regenerative type glass
furnaces. It can be installed in either end-fired or crossfired furnaces, as well as in under port or side-of-port
configurations. It is designed to work with the Eclipse
Gimbal Mounting Bracket to provide excellent adjustability of the flame position within the furnace. Additionally
the socket plate provides for a positive seal against the
burner block ensuring air is not infiltrated into the furnace.
Cooling air is provided through the inner gas tube during
off-firing cycles to prevent nozzle burnout.
These burners are of a welded, stainless steel body
construction, produce a highly adjustable flame, and
provide superior heat transfer to the glass melt. Multiple
burners may be used in each port. Port design must be
compatible with the burner.
Benefits
• Additional adjustments for increased flame control
and burner flexibility.
• Lower NOX emissions.
• Compatible with current mounting bracket for easy
installation.
• Compatible with current BrightFire™ gas and cooling air connections for easy conversion.
• Nozzle combinations allow firing to be tailored to furnace requirements.
• Durable construction.
• Low Maintenance.
• Improved glass quality.
• Reduced fuel usage due to improved heat transfer
into the glass.
Audience
This manual has been written for people who are already
familiar with all aspects of a glass burner and its add-on
components, also referred to as “the burner system”.
These aspects are:
• Installation
• Use
• Maintenance
The audience is expected to have previous experience
with this type of equipment.

Important notices, which help provide safe burner
operation, will be found in this section. To avoid personal
injury and damage to the property or facility, the following
warnings must be observed. All involved personnel
should read this entire manual carefully before attempting
to start or operate this system. If any part of the
information in this manual is not understood, contact
Eclipse before continuing.
WARNING
■ DO NOT disassemble any component WITHOUT
first reading the manufacturer’s instructions.
Several components contain parts under
compression or pressure and could injure
personnel if not disassembled properly.
■ Control panels contain voltages which can
severely injure personnel. These panels are
normally double fed from the emergency supply.
NO engineer/maintenance technician who is not
fully conversant with the equipment should be
allowed access to the panel internals.
■ The burners, described herein, are designed to
mix fuel with air and burn the resulting mixture. All
fuel burning devices are capable of producing fires
and explosions if improperly applied, installed,
adjusted, controlled or maintained.
■ Do not bypass any safety feature; fire or explosion
could result.
■ Never try to light a burner if it shows signs of
damage or malfunction.
■ The burner and duct sections are likely to have
HOT surfaces. Always wear the appropriate
protective equipment when approaching the
burner.
NOTICE
■ This manual provides information regarding the
use of these burners for their specific design
purpose. Do not deviate from any instructions or
application limits described herein without written
approval from Eclipse.
■ Control circuits MUST not be altered at any time
unless Eclipse has been consulted and has
approved the modifications.
■ No naked lights are to be used in the area of gas
pipeline components.
■ Any gas leaks should always be isolated and
rectified immediately. Any piece of pipeline
equipment and its surrounding area should be
properly vented and/or purged as appropriate after
isolation and before the start of any maintenance.
■ Extreme care should be taken when working on
burner equipment installed under the furnace port.
■ Eclipse recommends installing a safety guard
around moving parts.
■ Eclipse recommends considering any area with
moving mechanical parts a restricted area.
Capabilities
Only qualified personnel, with sufficient mechanical
aptitude and experience with combustion equipment,
should adjust, maintain or troubleshoot any mechanical or
electrical part of this system.
Operator Training
The best safety precaution is an alert and trained
operator. Train new operators thoroughly and have them
demonstrate an adequate understanding of the
equipment and its operation. A regular retraining schedule
should be administered to ensure operators maintain a
high degree of proficiency.
Replacement Parts
Order replacement parts from Eclipse only. All Eclipse
approved valves or switches should carry UL, FM, CSA,
CGA and/or CE approval where applicable.
