Fuels
INDITHERM® burners are designed to operate on natural gas. For propane and butane operation a standard INDITHERM®
burner can not be used. Contact MAXON when the use of gases other than natural gas is inevitable.
Burner discharge sleeve
The burner discharge sleeve is available in different materials and geometries:
Standard version with circular stainless steel discharge sleeve and square burner mounting plate.
High temperature version with refractory block for installation in applications where high temperatures can be expected.
In following cases the use of high temperature version discharge sleeve is required:
Dimension A is larger than 50mm
Insufficient low temperature process air is available to cool the discharge sleeve
No process air is available ( typical in indirect fired applications)
Process air is entered downstream of the burner, being unable to flow over the burner discharge sleeve

Control motor mounting plate
The INDITHERM® burner can be equipped with an electrical or pneumatic control motor for capacity control. A broad range of
mounting plates are available to accept almost any common control motor on the market. Required torque = 1.2 Nm.
Maximum capacities
INDITHERM® burners will have different maximum capacities depending on burner size and application back pressure.
Refer to table on page 1-2.3-6 for maximum capacities.
Capacities are stated for firing at zero back pressure and for 1.5 mbar back pressure, both at 3 % O
level in the exhaust gases.
2
Minimum capacities
The minimum capacities depend on burner size and can be found in the table at page 1-2.3-6. The capacities in this table are those
that still allow a stable flame on main gas. When lower capacities are required, using a continuous pilot can be a solution. In this
case, the internal gas control valve of the burner can be closed even more at minimum position, while the minimum required gas
flow to maintain a stable flame can be adjusted using a needle valve on the pilot gas.
Preheated air
The INDITHERM® burner is designed to operate with non preheated combustion air. Although, the burner materials are suitable to
withstand up to 200° C temperatures, the burner will not perform according to the specifications page page 1-2.3-6 when the
combustion air is preheated. Contact MAXON for more details.
Process temperature
The high temperature refractory block permits operation of combustion chamber temperatures up to 950 °C . When using a
standard discharge sleeve, proper circulation of cold process air around the entire discharge sleeve should be present at all times.
Piloting and ignition
INDITHERM® burners have an internal pilot burner. Piloting is accomplished by internally bypassing the built-in gas butterfly valve
which is in the minimum position at low fire. The pilot gas is admitted to the gas nozzle via the main gas conduit and is injected
through the same gas nozzle ports as the main gas. The pilot gas adjusting valve allows for easy and precise adjusting of the pilot
flame.
The use of an intermittent pilot is technically possible on this burner and could result in lower minimum capacities.
Use minimally 5000 V/200 VA ignition transformers for sparking of the spark ignitor . Locate pilot gas valves as close as possible
to the pilot burner gas inlet, to have fast ignition of the pilot burner. When igniting the main gas, the capacity rating of the burner at
that point shall be limited.
Direct ignition
In case the use of a pilot burner is not required, the INDITHERM® burner can be direct ignited on main gas.
The pilot gas inlet should be plugged. When direct igniting an INDITHERM
limited. Direct ignition at high capacity is not allowed.
®
burner, the capacity setting during ignition should be
Typical ignition sequences
Pre purge of burner and installation, according to the applicable codes and the installation’s requirements.
Burner capacity control valve shall be in the start position to allow minimum combustion air flow to the burner.
Pre-ignition (typically 2 s sparking in air).
Open pilot gas and continue to spark the igniter (typically 5 s).
Stop sparking, continue to power the pilot gas valves and start flame check.
Check pilot flame stability (typical 5 s to prove the stable pilot).
Open main gas valves and allow enough time to have main gas in the burner. (typical 5 s + time required to have main gas in
the burner).
Close the pilot gas valves.
Release to modulation (allow modulation of the burner).
Above sequences shall be completed to include all required safety checks during the start-up of the burner (process & burner
safeties).

E-m-7/08
Flame supervision
Flame supervision can be accomplished by use of a UV-scanner for all INDITHERM® burners and sizes. The scanner connection
is 1”. Due to the presence of gas at the scanner port, only tight scanners can be used.
The use of a flame rod is only possible in a limited range of applications where the standard discharge sleeve is used. A flame rod
combined with a high temperature discharge sleeve would generate a flame signal too low for proper flame scanning.
Contact MAXON for more details when considering a flame rod.
Flame development
INDITHERM® burners shall be installed in combustion chambers that allow full development of the burner flame.
Consult MAXON for proper combustion chamber lay-out.
Gas pipe train design
The INDITHERM® burner is very sensitive to variations in gas pressures at burner gas inlet. The burner gas inlet pressure should
not vary more then 2.5 mbar between high and low capacity.
Process back pressures
The INDITHERM® burner can operate between 0 and 1.5 mbar back pressure. The burner should not be used on applications
where back pressures would fall outside these limits. It is possible to mount the burner on a process with changing back pressures
as long as the fluctuating pressures stay within the 0 to 1.5 mbar limit.
Measuring equipment for burner commissioning
The burner gas pressures and air pressures as mentioned in table on page 1-2.3-6 should be used as a guideline for burner
system design and to have an approximative value for burner set up.T o adjust the burner properly during commissioning, the
oxygen content in the flue gas should be measured. A properly adjusted burner in an indirect fired application should have
approximately 3% O
in the stack at maximum capacity .

Start-up instructions for INDITHERM
®
burners
Instructions provided by the company or individual responsible for the manufacture and/or overall installation of a complete system incorporating MAXON burners take precedence over the installation and operating instructions provided by MAXON. If any of the instr uctions provid ed by MAXON are in conflict with local
codes or regulations, please contact MAXON before initial start-up of equipment.
Read the combustion system manual carefully before initiating the start-up and adjustment
procedure.Verify that all of the equipment associated with and necessary to the safe
operation of the burner system has been installed correctly, that all pre- commissioning
checks have been carried out successfully and that all safety related aspects of the
installation are properly addressed.
Initial adjustment and light-off should be undertaken only by a trained commissioning engineer.
First firing or restart af ter shut-down
During first start-up of the burner, allow extended period at low firing range to minimize potential damage from accumulated
and retained moisture in refractory burner block.
During cold starts, the temperature rise shall be limited – allow the burner to fire on low fire for some time to allow the parts to
heat up slowly for maximum life.
Safety interlocks
Guarantee that all the required safety locks as described in the applicable local codes or regulations, or supplementary safety
blocks requested for safe operation of the overall installation, are working properly and resulting in a positive safety-lock of the
burner. Do not bypass any of these safety interlocks, this will result in unsafe operation.
Checks during and after start up
During and after start-up, check the integrity of the system. Check all bolted connections after first firing (first time on temperature) and retighten if necessary.
Purge
For safety reasons, it is required to purge the installation sufficiently long to ensure that all possible combustibles are evacuated before ignition. Refer to the applicable local codes and your specific application requirements to determine the purge time.
Pilot ignition
Adjust pilot air flow and pilot gas regulator to correct set point before pilot ignition attempt.Turn adjustable orifice screw out
(counter-clockwise) several turns from its fully seated position. Refine during lighting of the pilot to a yellow/blue flame and/or
strongest stable flame signal.
Main burner ignition
Adjust the main gas regulator at the correct set point before igniting the main burner. Ensure that the gas/air ratio valve is in the
start position when lighting the main burner.
