Reliable Asphalt Products’ Vulcan Burner

Step 1

Fuel moves in from the fuel train.

Fuel ring and swirl plate are supported in the burner tube on long nose application for ease of installation.

Step 2

The motor requires less energy to power the fan.

Sliding feature allows for easy maintenance. Step 3

External air for combustion is retrieved from top and bottom air inlets.

Step 4

The coaxial blower provides a near-linear fan curve for air delivery.

Step 5

Fuel, air, and ignition are proportioned to achieve fuel-efficient combustion.

Flame shaping mechanics allow for adjustment to achieve optimum fuel efficiency while minimizing emissions.

FReliable Asphalt Products of Shelbyville, Kentucky, introduces the Vulcan Burner. The Vulcan Burner is designed to run on multiple fuels—simultaneously if required—including any vaporized fuel, two liquid fuels, or any combination thereof. Here’s how it works:

First, the natural gas, #2 diesel, waste oil, LP or multi-fuel combination moves into the burner from the customer-supplied fuel train(s), which is a controlled / regulated supply of fuel delivered to the burner at specific volume and pressure. The fuel supply is opened, if valves are closed, and monitored by Reliable Asphalt controls, for safe starting of the burner.

Second, the total air burner uses a single electric variable speed direct drive motor, which requires less energy than is typical, to power the fan.

Third, a coaxial blower provides a near-linear fan curve, which allows accu rate control over air delivery to the burner. This means less excess air is required in the chamber.

Fourth, an air venting system in the dou ble-walled, stainless steel combustion box keeps the unit cool during this operation.

Finally, the over-temperature safety switch will automatically shut down in case of overheating. A second safety switch protects the unit in case the burner and fan/ motor sections were to separate while in operation.
