B&W offers replacement FPS gas horn igniters for corner-fired boiler applications.
Our in-depth knowledge in the field of ignition equipment has enabled us to implement significant design improvements and produce efficient, reliable igniters for either partial upgrades or complete replacement.
The gas horn igniter burns natural gas or propane and provides up to 20 million Btu per hour heat input, a significant increase to the competitor gas igniter it replaces. As a result, this horn igniter can serve warm-up and load support functions in addition to its basic function of igniting the main fuel.
All horn igniters use the SunSpot flame rod for flame detection and a high energy spark system for spark ignition. A strong blow torch-type flame ensures excellent main fuel ignition.
FPS gas horn igniters are designed to fit standard windbox arrangements. Custom designs are available for applications where the original burner structure has been modified. The horn igniter is supplied with a mounting/adapter plate and gasket to mount on the existing bolt arrangement, making igniter installation very simple. The igniter is designed to use existing windbox air, with an option available for an external combustion air system. The igniter can be mounted in existing horns or, if required, new cast stainless steel horns with mounting hardware are available to replace deteriorated or damaged horns. A local control cabinet/valve rack and an external air system are also available if required.
Each gas horn igniter is supplied with the following environmentally sealed peripheral components:
- 10,000 VAC ignition transformer in a NEMA 4 enclosure
- SunSpot flame detector electronic module
- Gas hose with swivel connector
- (2) Brass-braided flex conduit assemblies for igniter electrical connections (flame detector and spark ignition)
- Igniter mounting plate with gasket
