Wall-fired Ignitors
Reliable ignition is more important than ever with the increasing use of on/off cycling and low load operation. As the exclusive supplier of the FPS® line of ignition equipment in the U.S., B&W has successfully used these proven ignitors in a variety of burner and fuel applications. This includes new low NOx burners as well as replacement of old ignitors in existing burners, and replacement parts.
Available for both gas and oil, this advanced ignitor design was developed to achieve superior flame ignition and flame stability with low opacity. The FPS gas ignitor serves as a dual-purpose ignitor for boiler warm-up, burner light-off and support during unstable pulverizer conditions.
The ignitor features a proven flame rod technology for detecting the ignitor flame while discriminating from other flames in the boiler. The FPS ignitor is designed as a simple plug-in replacement of your existing ignitor with little or no modification necessary to the rest of the burner.
