Trademark Polflame VN (Variable Nozzle)

Technical / Marketing  Secondary-air absorption hindered by

coal stream (very low impulse efficiency)
 Flame setting extremely complicated :
pressure, flow and individually-driven
nozzles
 Coal in between axial air and swirl air :
worst configuration for Nox emissions
 No real good references (burner always
replaced after first installation)

Trademarks From Duoflex to Jetflex

Design & Manufacturing Origin Denmark / China / India

Geographical Focus Worldwide presence

Sales / References Almost 100% on FLS kilns

Key Marketing Features  From one axial/radial outlet to a double

outlet with rectangular holes
 Possible “Common solid fuel channel
= Lower heat and power cost"
Meaning that
*cold transport air flow is
minimized
*power used for a second
dosing system can be saved

Trademarks (Duoflex) and Jetflex

Technical / Marketing  Radial angle is fixed : no swirl

ajustment, not suitable for low grade
coal firing,
 Very limited mixing ability :
 Coal and ASF can be merged (possible
for every kiln burners in fact)
 In revamping project, caol and ASF are
separated. In this case, coal is in
between axial air and swirl air : worst
configuration for Nox emissions
 Very complicated axial air adjustment
devices (option!)
 No reference

Key Marketing Features  2 air channels + 1 annular cooling

 High-pressure / low PA flow
 Coal channel between axial & radial

Trademark Pyrojet and Pyrostream

Technical / Marketing  Low-momentum design

 When high momentum design : tips
velocity extremely high with wear &
sticking
 No swirl ajustment : not suitable for low
grade coal firing
 High CAPEX including 1 axial blower / 1
radial fan, motor starter and VFD
 Electrical consumption very high
 Flame setting difficult to understand,
control & repeat
 « Low Primary air » concept for « low
consumption » actually very weak with
correct mass balance calculation
 Lack of tips and outer pipe cooling down
 Coal in between axial air and swirl air :
worst configuration for Nox emissions
between
