Detailed Operation of the EMB 260 Waste Oil Burner
The EMB 260 burner is an automated combustion system designed to burn waste oil efficiently, safely, and in an environmentally friendly manner. Its operation can be broken down into several key phases:
1. Collection and Supply of Used Oil
The used oil is drawn from a storage tank by an adjustable feed pump, which ensures a constant flow rate between 9.4 and 19 kg/h. The flow rate is automatically controlled based on system needs and user settings.
2. Primary Air Sampling
The air required for combustion is drawn in by a compressor with a capacity of 25 m³/h. The primary air pressure is adjustable between 0.5 and 1.4 bar, allowing combustion to be adapted to the characteristics of the oil and operating conditions.
3. Mixing Oil and Air
The oil and intake air are brought into the combustion chamber, where they mix optimally. Proper mixing is essential to ensure complete and uniform combustion, reducing pollutant emissions and improving energy efficiency.
4. Lighting the Flame
Combustion is initiated by an 1100W electric resistor, which generates the spark needed to ignite the air-oil mixture. The resistor activates automatically upon startup and deactivates once the flame is stable.
5. Combustion Regulation and Control
The electronic control system constantly monitors various parameters, including:
- The temperature in the combustion chamber
- Primary air pressure
- The flow rate of oil
Based on the collected data, the system automatically adjusts:
- The quantity of primary air, variable between 0.5 and 1.4 bar
- The oil flow rate, keeping it within the set limits
- The power of the ignition resistor
This cycle ensures optimal combustion, with high efficiency and low emissions.
6. Maintaining the Flame
Once started, the burner maintains a stable flame thanks to its automatic regulation system. Combustion occurs continuously and in a controlled manner, with the unit automatically intervening in the event of anomalies such as shutdowns or pressure drops.
7. Exhaust Fumes
Combustion gases are expelled through an exhaust system designed to comply with environmental regulations and reduce noise emissions. Controlled gas management also ensures the safety of the system.
