Duct Burners In-Depth Overview

Efficient and controlled heating of process air in industrial applications is critical for both production quality and energy efficiency. At this point, Ecostar Duct Burners stand out with their structure that is directly integrated into the duct, eliminating the need for a dedicated combustion chamber. Products like the T/HI 300 in the model range offer high efficiency, flexible control capabilities, and broad application areas, making a notable difference in the industry. In this article, we share detailed insights about Ecostar Duct Burners.

What Is a Duct Burner?

Duct burners are specialized gas-fired burners designed for systems where hot air production is needed, operating in direct contact with airflow.
Ecostar duct burners inject fuel from the burner body into the air duct in a controlled manner, achieving a homogeneous air/fuel mixture and optimal combustion.
This design maximizes the system’s energy efficiency while offering compact solutions suitable for a wide range of applications.

Ecostar duct burners are available in burner capacities ranging from 116 kW to 2,095 kW.

In Which Areas Are Duct Burners Used?

Thanks to their efficiency and compact form, duct burners are indispensable in many industries. The most common sectors where duct burners are used include:

Textile Industry

  • Drying of carpets and similar textile products

  • Precision heating in dyeing and printing processes

Wood and Forest Products Industry

  • Drying processes for plywood, MDF, and veneers

Food Industry

  • Hygienic and controlled drying of products such as corn, wheat, and semolina

Metal Industry

  • Paint curing applications on metal surfaces

Glass and Ceramics

  • Providing hot air for decoration and cooling processes

Other Industrial Applications

  • Drying and calcination processes in gypsum board, paper, clay grinding

  • Smoke incinerators, industrial dryers, and preheating systems

This wide range of applications makes duct burners a versatile and multi-purpose solution.

How Energy Efficient Are Duct Burners?

Since the flame of the duct burner is in direct contact with process air, heat transfer is extremely fast and efficient.
Thanks to low flame temperatures and a short flame profile, both energy savings and reduced emissions are achieved.

Ecostar duct burners can operate with advanced control systems to minimize harmful gases such as NOx and CO.
Moreover, their compatibility with both mechanical and electronic control systems ensures seamless integration into industrial automation infrastructures.

Conclusion

Ecostar Duct Burners are advanced technological solutions that enable efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly heating of process air.
