air/liter).
4. Liquid propane capacities based on higher heating value of 90,912 Btu per gallon (lower
heating value of 23.83 MJ/liter), 35% excess air, and stoichiometric ratio of 864 cubic feet
air/gallon of liquid propane (6.1 nm3 air/liter).
5. The exhaust fan must be able to provide a slight negative pressure, suction in the range of
0.25 to 1” wc (.6 to 2.5 mbar), at the burner breech plate to exhaust the products of
combustion.
6. MegaStar
TM
Burner airflow can be accurately monitored using the body pressure tap on
either side of the burner air plenum. An accurate device capable of reading up to 15" wc (75
mbar) will be required for this measurement.
7. All burner fuel manifolds are supplied with fuel flow measuring devices. Liquid fuel
manifolds are equipped with an inline flow meter. Gaseous fuel manifolds are equipped with
a gas orifice meter that can be accurately checked for gas flow by measuring the differential
pressure across the orifice meter with a U-tube device (manometer) capable of reading in
the range of 0 to 20"wc (0 to 50 mbar).
8. Low pressure atomizing air, used for firing low pressure fuel oil or LP, is provided by a 36 osi
(155 mbar) Hauck high efficiency Turbo Blower. The low pressure air is used to not only
atomize liquid fuels, but also improve mixing speed in the combustion zone.
9. High pressure compressed air, used for firing heavy oils or any fuel oil at high elevations,
must be supplied by the customer at a nominal 60 psig (4140 mbar) to the burner nozzle for
optimum fuel oil atomization.

F. COMBUSTION FLIGHTING
Flight design in the combustion zone is very important. Correct flighting can minimize pollutant
emissions, and provide heat shielding to keep the drum surface temperature down. To obtain
complete combustion, the combustion zone must be sized to provide enough combustion
volume for the flame to burn, and it should also be clear of veiling material that can quench the
flame, resulting in poor combustion efficiency.
Combustion flights provide protection for the drum by shielding it from direct flame radiation.
Construction of the combustion flights should be such that no material is allowed to fall through
the flame. Combustion flights should also have a means of dissipating heat to prevent their
destruction by the flame. This is typically done by plowing material over the fights and keeping
the flights as low as possible to the drum. Consult Hauck for details on flight design and
combustion zone requirements.
Flights are available from Hauck to optimize performance of the MegaStar™ on a rotary dryer;
for detailed installation instructions of Hauck weld-in type flights, see Y7100 in the Appendix.
For additional information on application issues for an MegaStar™ on a rotary dryer, see Hauck
Application Sheet GJ75.
G. BURNER MOUNTING
For MegaStar™ burners with an extended burner nose length, the nose must be
supported to avoid undue strain on the burner housing. Consult dryer
manufacturer for extended burner nose support recommendations.
IMPORTANT
1. The burner should be mounted on the drum centerline at the same pitch as the drum. Install
a structure to support the burner. Refer to dimensional drawings in the Section D. The
support structure must be able to support the weight of the burner (see Table 3). If the
optional primary air turbo blower (TBA) is to be mounted on the same structure as the
burner, allow for the additional weight. Consult Hauck for recommended burner mounting
options. If applicable, choose a suitable location for the optional remote mounted fuel rack
and primary air TBA blower. The fuel rack should be firmly attached to the base structure or
concrete pad. The fuel rack is supplied with mounting holes in the base angle iron. Consult
Hauck for the remote mounted fuel rack dimensional drawing Y6967 if applicable. Consult
TBA blower instruction sheet (TBA-9) for proper mounting instructions for the primary air
TBA blower.
2. The burner is supplied with lifting eyes to facilitate lifting the burner into place. Do not use
the lifting eye on the main blower motor for lifting the entire burner unit. The optional
TBA blower is also supplied with lifting eyes on the blower frame. Do not use the motor
lifting eye to lift the entire blower unit.

3. The burner can be ordered with a split-mounting companion flange that can be bolted onto
the dryer breech plate (see Table 4). This allows positioning the burner at various insertion
depths past the breech plate. Typical burner insertion depth is 18 to 24" (460 to 610mm).
Cut out a hole in the breech plate 2" (50mm) in diameter larger than the burner tube. Do not
weld the split-mounting flange to the burner body, as the breech will expand and contract
with changes in temperature. If the split-mounting flange is welded to the burner, heat and
stress will damage the burner. Tightly seal the burner to the breech. If using oil as a primary
fuel, the insertion depth may have to extend more than 24" (610mm) due to the amount of
radiant heat from an oil flame depending on the application.

4. Bolt the burner to the support structure.
5. Wire the main fan motor and the optional TBA blower motor (if applicable) per instructions
on the motor.
6. Rotation of all blowers must be checked prior to burner startup. The rotation is marked with
an arrow on the blower housings. Do not operate the burner until all blowers are
checked for rotation and are rotating correctly.
All rotating components were balanced from factory at a level meeting ISO 1940-2. A variety
of external causes such as handling, installation, or misalignment may cause imbalance prior
to use. To ensure the intended long life of the equipment and components, and to meet
warranty requirements, equipment and vibration levels should be checked by experienced
personnel and trim balanced if no longer meeting ISO 1940-2 requirements. Under no
circumstances should equipment with excessive vibration be operated at the risk of damaging
that equipment or the personnel operating it.
NOTE
H. FUEL MANIFOLD INSTALLATION
The MegaStarTM burner can be supplied with integral fuel manifolds on the burner or with
optional remote rack mounted fuel manifolds. The fuel manifold has all modulating fuel valves
mounted on it. In addition to modulating fuel valves, the manifold includes the automatic oil, gas
and LP safety shutoff valves.
Fuel manifolds must be mounted in a horizontal position. Safety shutoff valves will not function
properly if mounted vertically. Liquid fuel manifolds should not be mounted above the burner
centerline. Oil and LP manifolds should be mounted as close to the burner as possible. For heavy
fuel oil applications, i.e., any fuel requiring heating for use, oil piping must be heat traced (electric
or steam) and insulated. Self-regulating heat tracing is recommended to maintain the desired
temperature of a given fuel oil to achieve 90 SSU (1.8x10
heat tracing with a nominal rating of 12W/ft (39W/m) covered with a nominal 2" (50mm) fiberglass
type insulation is sufficient for most applications. Fuel oil temperature should not exceed 250°F
(120°C). Oil viscosity should be checked prior to burner operation.
Hauck recommends the use of schedule 40 iron pipe and fittings rated for 150 psig (10.3 bar) for
natural gas and oil system interconnecting piping. LP applications require the use of schedule 80
pipe and fittings rated for 350 psig (24.1 bar).

I. NATURAL GAS FUEL PIPING SYSTEM
NOTE
Hauck recommends the use of gas manifolds that meet NFPA
guidelines. NFPA requires two fuel safety shutoff valves wired
in series and a shutoff valve downstream of the second
(blocking) safety shutoff valve, and high and low pressure
switches that are interlocked with the burner's safety shutoff
valves. Hauck gas manifolds have been designed to ensure
compliance to NFPA requirements.

Figure 2. Typical Schematic of Burner Gas Piping
1. Install a controlling gas regulator in the main gas line within 25 ft (7.6m) of the burner. This
regulator should be sized to provide the required gas flow at the inlet of the burner manifold.
Exact gas pressure must be set at the initial start-up depending on piping configuration,
burner size, and maximum capacity desired. Regular settings are designed for best
operation and compliance with NFPA 54 (see Figure 2).
2. A manual equipment isolation valve, sediment trap and gas strainer must be installed
upstream of the gas control regulator to ensure compliance to NFPA requirements. The
manual equipment isolation valve facilitates servicing of the gas control regulator, sediment
trap, strainer, and other components in the gas manifold.
3. The gas company should purge the main gas line to remove scale and dirt before it is
attached to the burner gas manifold.
Page 10
MS-9
4. Connect the main gas line (see Figure 2). A flexible pipe nipple should be used to
connect the gas line to the burner gas manifold (see Table 5 for sizes).
Install a flexible fitting between the gas
manifold and the burner gas connection to
reduce vibration stress on the manifold.

Table 5. MegaStar™ Burner Recommended Flexible Pipe Nipples
5. The piping from the gas regulator outlet to the burner gas manifold should be sized to
minimize pressure losses. See Figure 3 for pipe pressure losses.
6. The OMG gas orifice meter is an integral part of the gas manifold located on the burner
(refer to Figure 2). Refer to individual burner gas orifice meters graph for gas flows through
the gas orifice meter (see Figure 4). Orifice meter sizes and part numbers are shown below
in Table 6.
Failure to use the gas orifice meter assembly to measure
gas flow will make initial setup and tuning difficult.

J. LIGHT FUEL OIL PIPING SYSTEM
Adjustment of this equipment and its components by
unqualified personnel can result in fire, explosion,
severe
ersonal injury, or even death.
WARNING
Hauck recommends the use of oil manifolds that meet
NFPA guidelines. NFPA requires two safety shutoff
valves piped in series in the burner’s main oil line. A
low/high oil pressure switch must be interlocked with
the burner’s safety shutoff valves. Hauck oil manifolds
have been designed to ensure compliance to NFPA
requirements.
NOTE
1. Hauck recommends using a flexible connection to connect the oil line to the oil manifold
on the burner. A flexible connection will reduce vibration stress on the oil manifold.
Refer to Table 7 for recommended flex connection.

4. The low/high oil pressure switch is factory set at a low set point of 15 psig (1.03 bar)
and a high set point of 80 psig (5.5 bar). Set point adjustments may be required
depending on the burner and fuel piping specifics.
5. Inspect the complete fuel oil system for oil leaks and repair as necessary. Do not
operate the burner until all fuel leaks are repaired.
6. The burner oil flow control (metering) valve is preset to travel from position 2 to 11.
The low fire oil flow setting can be changed by loosening the coupling connecting the oil
valve to the control motor, adjusting the oil valve pointer, and re-tightening the coupling. The
high fire oil flow setting can be changed via the burner control system, or if necessary, by
increasing or decreasing fuel oil pressure. See the individual burner performance sheets for
fuel oil flow data.
Any adjustment to the fuel oil flow settings should be
made as a minor incremental change and verified that it
has not resulted in any detrimental effect to plant
operation prior to making another adjustment.
CAUTION
Fuel oil flow settings per the individual burner
performance sheets are for initial set-up only.
Final settings may have to be readjusted for
required operation.
NOTE
7. Fuel oil flow rates can be checked with the in-line oil flow meter on the burner fuel
oil manifold. The flow meter glass can be rotated to view the scale if required.

K. HEAVY FUEL OIL PIPING SYSTEM
Adjustment of this equipment and its components by unqualified
personnel can result in fire, explosion, severe personal injury, or
even death.
Heated fuel oil and piping is hot. Precautions should be taken to
avoid contact with heated oil and piping. Proper insulation should
be installed on hot oil pipes. Protective gloves, clothing and a face
shield are recommended when working with heated oil.
IMPORTANT
For all heavy fuel oil applications, i.e., any oil requiring heating for
use, oil piping must be heat traced (electric or steam) and
insulated. Self-regulating heat tracing is recommended to
maintain the desired temperature of a given fuel oil to achieve 90
SSU (1.8 x 10
-5 m2
/sec) or less at the burner. Electrical heat tracing
with a nominal rating of 12W/ft (39W/m) covered with a nominal 2"
(50mm) fiberglass type insulation is sufficient for most applications.
WARNING
Page 16
MS-9
Hauck recommends the use of oil manifolds that meet NFPA
guidelines. NFPA requires two safety shutoff valves piped in series in
the burner’s main oil line. A low/high oil pressure switch must be
interlocked with the burner’s safety shutoff valves. When preheated oil
is used, a low/high oil temperature limit switch must be interlocked with
the burner’s safety shutoff valves. Hauck oil manifolds have been
designed to ensure compliance to NFPA requirements. Hauck
recommends the use of a ‘Heavy Oil Kit’ whenever heavy fuel oil is
used. The components of the heavy oil kit are identified in Figure 6.
NOTE
1. For recommended piping sizes see Table 8. Before attaching fuel lines, purge the piping
to remove scale and dirt that could clog and damage oil equipment. See Figure 6 for the
suggested piping layout.
2. Heavy fuel oil must be 90 SSU (1.8 x 10
-5 m2
/sec) or less for proper atomization and
burning. Use a Hauck viscometer kit (order separately - Part No. 36931) to determine
proper oil temperature to achieve this viscosity. Refer to the instructions that are supplied
with the kit for proper use. In general, the viscosity can be lower than 90 SSU (which
means higher oil temperature) if the fuel is not forming vapor (or steam) pockets in the oil
lines. Vapor pockets can cavitate the pumps used on suction type oil heaters.
3. Set the fuel oil heater temperature set point and the indicating low oil temperature switch
(located on the burner’s oil manifold) to the temperature determined from step 2.
4. Adjust the bypass relief valve until the required oil pressure is achieved. See individual
burner performance sheets for approximate settings. Final oil pressure will have to be
adjusted to attain desired burner output and stack exhaust gas analysis.
5. The low/high oil pressure switch is factory set at a low set point of 15 psig (1.03 bar) and a
high set point of 80 psig (5.5 bar). Set point adjustments may be required depending on
the burner and fuel piping specifics.
6. Inspect the complete fuel oil system for oil leaks and repair as necessary. Do not operate
the burner until all leaks are repaired.
7. The burner oil flow control (metering) valve is preset to travel from position 2 to 11. The low
fire oil flow setting can be changed by loosening the coupling connecting the oil valve to the
control motor, adjusting the oil valve pointer, and re-tightening the coupling. The high fire oil
flow setting can be changed via the burner control system, or if necessary, by increasing or
decreasing fuel oil pressure. See the individual burner performance sheets for fuel oil flow
data.
Any adjustment to the fuel oil flow settings should be
made as a minor incremental change and verified that it
has not resulted in any detrimental effect to plant
operation prior to making another adjustment.
