Factors Affecting
Burner Operation
Type of fuel
Excess oxygen in the kiln
Momentum ratio between the burner
jets and secondary air
Kiln,cooler and hood aerodynamics
and relative burner position
Nozzle Design (Atomizer, Gas Nozzle
etc.)
Burner Design
Mechanical Considerations
Suitable for harsh environment
Accessible for maintenance
