A Brief Introduction to Natural Gas Burners & Ecostar Products

Natural gas burners are essential devices and components that are widely used in modern heating systems. These burners transport fuel gas into the combustion chamber, where it is mixed with air and ignited, triggering the production of heat energy. In this article, we will discuss the basic working principles of natural gas burners as well as the innovative features of natural gas burners in the Ecostar brand's product range.

How Do Natural Gas Burners Work?

Gas burners are a device that transports fuel gas and allows it to burn in the combustion chamber. As we mentioned in our blog titled “What is the Working Principle of a Burner?”, the working principle of gas burners is to mix the gas with air during transportation and then ignite it, which is accomplished by a spark or pilot flame. The resulting heat energy can be used for various purposes depending on the burner design. For example, residential gas burners are used for heating and hot water supply, while burners in industrial plants are used for power generation or to provide heat used in production processes.

Natural gas burners used in heating systems produce heat energy by burning fuels such as natural gas. Natural gas burners offer an efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly heating method.

The working principle of natural gas burners is simply as follows:

• The natural gas burner receives the gas from the natural gas line and adjusts it with a pressure regulator. The pressure regulator ensures that the gas comes to the burner at a suitable pressure.
• The natural gas burner uses a fan or blower to mix the gas with air. The fan or blower provides the airflow and controls the ratio of the air-gas mixture. The air-gas mixture is important for efficient and clean combustion.
• The natural gas burner device sends the air-gas mixture into the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is where the flame forms and generates heat energy. The combustion chamber is made of a high-temperature-resistant material and is insulated.
• The natural gas burner uses an ignition system to create the flame in the combustion chamber. The ignition system starts the flame by methods such as an electric spark or a hot surface. The ignition system ensures that the flame is continuous and safe.
• The natural gas burner then sends the hot gasses from the combustion chamber to the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is where the hot gasses transfer heat energy to water or air. The heat exchanger is connected to the rest of the heating system.
• Finally, the natural gas burner discharges the waste gasses produced by combustion through the chimney or exhaust. The waste gasses are filtered and purified to ensure that they do not harm the environment.

What are the Features of Ecostar Natural Gas Burners? 

Ecostar monoblock gas burners which are manufactured with one-stage, two-stage, and modulating gas burners working principle with a wide range of thermal capacity adjustments according to the heat requirement, offer high quality and safe natural gas burners.

One-stage, two-stage, and modulating gas burners working principle with a wide range of thermal capacity adjustments according to the heat requirement, offer high quality and safe natural gas burners.

One-stage gas burners operate with a constant air-gas mixture ratio; in this context, one-stage natural gas burners are a simple and economical option.

Two-stage gas burners operate with two different air-to-gas mixture ratios and can switch between high and low capacity. Two-stage natural gas burners can be considered as an efficient and flexible option among such devices.

Modulating gas burners operate with a continuously changing air-gas mixture ratio and can be adjusted according to the heating requirement thanks to these features. Thus, modulating  natural gas burners are efficient and comfortable options.

Produced in 3 peculiar categories, Ecostar natural gas burners are designed in various capacities and dimensions. Ecostar offers a wide range of natural gas burners to choose a model suitable for your heating systems.

As common features, the unique combustion head of Ecostar gas burners with high combustion efficiency makes the fuel mixture homogeneous, while the air pressostat in the products ensures balanced operation of the system by controlling the combustion air. The lightweight aluminum alloy body supports operation at low noise levels, while at the same time allowing minimum friction losses in the body and combustion head. 

The built-in fan flap makes it easy to adjust the combustion air flow rate and provides access to all parts without removing the burner from the boiler. The sliding flange allows connection to different boiler types, while the compact design combines with minimal maintenance requirements. These features, as well as low NOx and CO emissions, provide an environmentally friendly solution.

Some Crucial Points During Installation Process

Ecostar natural gas burners, offering many advantages and comfort to its users in industrial systems and heat applications, generally have smooth installation and operation steps. However, there are strict details that must be taken into consideration in the installation of Ecostar natural gas burners. 

We can list the points to be considered during the installation phase of Ecostar natural gas burners as follows:

• Ecostar gas burners must be installed by authorized services. Authorized services ensure that the burner is properly installed, adjusted, and tested.
• Ecostar gas burners must be selected in a model suitable for the heating system. The capacity of the burner must match the capacity of the heating system.
• Ecostar natural gas burners must be accurately connected to the combustion chamber of the heating system. The combustion chamber must be suitable for the dimension and shape of the burner. The combustion chamber must provide sufficient air intake and exhaust gas outlet.
• Ecostar natural gas burners must be precisely connected to the electricity. The electrical connection must comply with the technical specifications of the burner and local regulations and must include safety measures such as grounding and fuses.
• The gas connection of Ecostar natural gas burners must comply with the technical specifications of the burner and local regulations. The natural gas connection must include safety and control elements such as gas valves, gas filters, gas pressure regulators, and gas pressure switches.
• Ecostar natural gas burners require adjustment of the air-gas mixture ratio. The air-gas mixture ratio ensures efficient and clean combustion of the burner. The air-gas mixture ratio can be adjusted as one-stage, two-stage, or modulated according to the burner type.
• The first start-up of Ecostar natural gas burners must be performed by an authorized service. The first start-up is done to check that the burner is working correctly. During the first start-up, the burner's ignition system, flame detection system, safety systems, and combustion parameters are tested.

Ecostar gas burner products, which are compatible with LPG, LNG, and CNG fuels as well as natural gas, are successfully used in various heat applications such as hot water boilers, steam boilers, hot oil boilers thanks to their large power capacity and high combustion efficiency.

Produced under international standards in terms of quality, efficiency, and safety, Ecostar natural gas burners have CE, TSE, and ISO certificates. Ecostar natural gas burner prices vary according to the model, capacity, and features of the product.
