PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
The ImmersoJet (IJ) is a nozzle-mix tube-firing burner that is
designed to fire at high velocities through small diameter
immersion tubes. The standard burner includes a packaged
blower, actuator control motor, integral butterfly valve, ratio
regulator, burner body, combustion chamber, nozzle (specific to
fuel used), rear cover, spark and flame rods, and gas orifice (also
specific to fuel used).
Figure 1.1
The ImmersoJet Burner
FEATURES
The combustion gases from the burner scrub the inner tube
surface and produce high heat transfer rates. This, in
combination with the high velocity flow through the smaller
diameter tubes allows for system efficiencies in excess of 80%.
The smaller ImmersoJet tubes also have smaller bends which
means less tank space is occupied by the tubes. With a
combustion chamber that is integral to the burner body, the
new version of the ImmersoJet can sit lower on the tank than
previous ImmersoJet models.

BURNER MODEL

::
Designing a burner system is a straightforward exercise. The
steps are:
1. Burner model selection.
a. Determine net input required for the tank or process
b. Select tube efficiency
c. Calculate gross input required
d. Select burner model
2. Tube design.
3. Control methodology.
4. Ignition system.
5. Flame monitoring system.
6. Combustion air system: blower and air pressure switch.
7. Main gas shut-off valve train.
8. Process temperature control system.
Determine the net input required to the tank
The net input to the tank is determined from heat balance
calculations. These calculations are based on the heatup and
steady-state requirements of the process, and take into account
surface losses, tank wall losses and tank heat storage. Detailed
guidelines for heat balance calculations are in the Eclipse
Combustion Engineering Guide (EFE 825).
Select tube efficiency
The efficiency of the tube is the net heat input to the tank
divided by the heat input to the tube. Efficiency is determined by
the effective tube length. The diameter of the tube has little
influence on the efficiency. At a given burner input, the net input
to the tank is higher for a longer tube than for a relatively short
tube.
It is customary to size conventional immersion tubes for 70%
efficiency, a reasonable compromise between fuel economy and
tube length. However, small diameter tubes occupy less tank
space than conventional tubes, so their length can easily be
increased to provide efficiencies of 80% or more.
Calculate the gross burner input
Use this formula to calculate gross burner input in Bth/hr:

BURNER MODEL
SELECTION (CONTINUED)
Applications requiring special consideration:
ImmersoJet burners are used for firing spray wash tanks, dip tanks,
and storage tanks such as those used for fire sprinkler systems.
Generally, the small bore system can be used wherever conventional
immersion burner systems are used, except where high heat flux off
.
the small bore tube can break down the tanks contents.
Zinc phosphate solutions
High heat fluxes break down the phosphate, forming a heavy
insulating sludge which deposits on tube surfaces and causes
rapid tube burnout. To reduce early tube failure, make the
immersion tube with electro-polished stainless steel, and limit
the burner to capacity shown in the limited capacity portion of
Figure 3.1 based on tube size.
Iron phosphate solutions
These are susceptible to the same problem described above for
zinc phosphate solutions. To reduce early tube failure, make the
immersion tube with stainless steel. Electro-polishing is not
required. Limit the burner to capacity shown in the limited capacity
portion of Figure 3.1 based on tube size.
Cooking oils
To avoid burning the oil, limit heat flux to 50 Btu/hr per square
inch of tube area.
Highly viscous liquids
All immersion systems depend on natural convection currents to
carry heat away from the tube and throughout the tank.
Convection is minimal in high viscosity solutions, such as asphalt,
residual oil or molasses. This can severely overheat the liquid
around the tube..
c Caution
Do not use the ImmersoJet for highly viscous fluids

Condensate provisions
If the immersion tube will operate at efficiencies less than 80%,

c
Tube placement in tank
The tube placement height in the tank should be high enough to
avoid the possibility of sludge build-up on the bottom of the tank;
however, it should be low enough to avoid tube exposure due to
liquid level variations caused by evaporation or displacement. In
the latter case use a liquid level switch to shut down the burner.
Note:
If you use a common stack for more than one burner, then
make sure that the stack is large enough to handle the
exhaust flow plus any dilution air from all the burners.
Detailed guidelines for flue sizing calculations are in the
Eclipse Combustion Engineering Guide (EFE 825).

Note:
Leave access between the draft hood and the tube exhaust. Install
a damper plate if acoustic feedback occurs in the tube.
Note:
Regardless of the exhaust design, pitch the immersion tube down
towards the exhaust so condensate will not collect at the burner.
Caution:
At efficiencies of 80% or greater, low exhaust temperatures
will cause condensation to form in the tube at start-up or
during long idling periods. The higher the efficiency the more
condensation will increase
To prevent condensation/corrosion from shortening tube life or
disrupting burner operation, provide a condensate drain at the
exhaust and slope the immersion tube downward, away from
the burner.

Control methodology
ImmersoJet burners use a modulating on-ratio control system
as shown in Figure 3.3. To control the heat delivered by the
burner, adjust the air flow to the burner. The gas flow will
change in proportion to the air flow.
The burner will operate reliably at any input between the low
fire and high fire limits stated on the burner‘s Data Sheet.

GNITION SYSTEM
4: 4:
For the ignition system you should use:
• 6000 VAC transformers
• full wave spark transformers
• one transformer per burner.
Do not use:
• 10,000 VAC transformers
• twin outlet transformers
• distributor type transformers
• half wave spark transformers.
ImmersoJet burners will ignite reliably at any input within the
ignition zone shown in the appropriate burner data sheet.
However, it is recommended that low fire start be used. Local
safety and insurance requirements demand that you limit the
maximum time that a burner takes to ignite. These time limits vary
from country to country.
The time that a burner takes to ignite depends on:
• the distance between the gas shut-off valve and the burner
• the air/gas ratio
• the gas flow at start conditions.
In the USA, with a time of 15 seconds to ignition, there should be
sufficient time to ignite the burners. It is possible, however, to have
the low fire too low to ignite within the time limit. Under these
circumstances you must consider the following options:
• start at higher input levels
• resize and/or relocate the gas controls

Flame Monitoring Control
The flame monitoring control is the equipment that processes
the signal from the flame rod or the U.V. scanner.
For flame monitoring control you may select several options:
• flame monitoring control for each burner: if one burner goes
down, only that burner will be shut off
• multiple burner flame monitoring control: if one burner goes
down, all burners will be shut off
There are three recommended flame monitoring controls:
• Bi-flame series; see Instruction Manual 826
• Multi-flame series 6000; see Instruction Manual 820
• Veri-flame; see Instruction Manual 818
Other manufacturer’s flame monitoring systems can be used
with the burner if spark is maintained for a fixed time interval
and is not interrupted when a flame signal is detected during trial
for ignition.

SYSTEM
ImmersoJet burners are sold in these configurations:
• Burner with integral low pressure blower.
• Burner with integral high pressure blower.
• Burner less blower.
n Note:
This section describes how to size a blower for burners
purchased less blower.
Effects of atmospheric conditions
The blower data is based on the International Standard
Atmosphere (ISA) at Mean Sea Level (MSL), which means that it
is valid for:
• sea level
• 29.92” Hg (1,013 mbar)
• 70ºF (21ºC)
The make-up of the air is different above sea level or in a hot
area. The density of the air decreases, and as a result, the outlet
pressure and the flow of the blower decrease. An accurate
description of these effects is in the Eclipse Combustion
Engineering Guide (EFE 825). The Guide contains tables to
calculate the effect of pressure, altitude and temperature on air.

AIR SYSTEM (CONTINUED)
Series SMJ turbo blower
Blower
The rating of the blower must match the system requirements.
You can find all the blower data in Bulletin 610.
Follow these steps:
1. Calculate the outlet pressure.
When calculating the outlet pressure of the blower, the total
of these pressures must be calculated.
• the static air pressure required at the burner
• the total pressure drop in the piping
• the total of the pressure drops across the valves
• the pressure in the immersion tube
• recommend a minimum safety margin of 10%
2. Calculate the required flow
The blower output is the air flow delivered under standard
atmospheric conditions. It must be enough to feed all the burners
in the system at high fire.
Combustion air blowers are normally rated in terms of standard
cubic feet per hour (scfh) of air.
An example calculation follows the information tables below:

AIR SYSTEM (CONTINUED)
Application example:
A designer of a spray washer has determined the heat input for the
water tank requires 857,500 Btu/hr. Based on the size of his tank,
he has selected a tube efficiency of 70% which results in a gross
burner input of 1,225,000 Btu/hr.
Calculation example to determine the air flow
requirement:
a. Decide which ImmersoJet model is appropriate:
•
From the capacity table, either the 4” with a remote
blower (1,800,000 Btu/hr), or the 6” with the lowpressure packaged blower (2,000,000 Btu/hr) have
sufficient capacity. For this example, the designer selects
the 4” tube because his tank size limits the amount of the
larger 6” tube that will fit.
•
Select an IJ004, 4” diameter tube ImmersoJet burner with
a remote blower for a maximum firing rate of 1,225,000
Btu/hr.
b. Calculate the required gas flow:
= Q/q = 1,225,000 Btu/hr / 1,002 Btu/ft3 = 1,223 ft3/hr

V

air-stoichiometric
= ( 1 + 0.15) x 11,508 ft3/hr = 13,234 ft3/hr
• For this example, final blower air flow requirement is

n Note:
It is common practice to add an additional 10% to the final
blower air flow requirement as a safety margin.

blower catalog number and the motor hp in Bulletin 610.
4. Select the other parameters:
• inlet filter or inlet grille
• inlet size (frame size)
• voltage, number of phases, frequency
• blower outlet location, and rotation direction Clockwise

require the use of an air pressure switch in conjunction
with other safety components, as a minimum standard
for main gas safety shut-off systems.
Consult Eclipse
Eclipse can help you design and obtain a main gas shut-off valve
train that complies with the current safety standards.
The shut-off valve train must comply with all the local safety
standards set by the authorities that have jurisdiction.

The combustion air blower
provides the combustion air
pressure to the burner (s).
The air pressure switch gives a
signal to the safety system
when there is not enough air
pressure from the blower.
Gas cocks are used to manually
shut off the gas supply on both
sides of the main gas shut-off
valve train.
Solenoid valves are used to
automatically shut off the gas
supply on a bypass gas system or
on small capacity burner systems.

A ratio regulator is used to
control the air/gas ratio. The
ratio regulator is a sealed unit
that adjusts the gas flow in ratio
with the air flow. To do this, it
Ratio regulator

measures the air pressure with a
pressure sensing line, the impulse
line. This impulse line is
connected between the top of
the ratio regulator and the air
supply line.
The cap must stay on the ratio
regulator after adjustment.
A CRS valve is used in a high/
low time-proportional control
system to quickly open and
close the air supply.
The schematics show the
advised positions of the
pressure taps.
