3. Safety instructions
Only those who were trained and qualified person can follow the manual to operate or adjust
the combustion system. The fire was prohibited within a radius of 5 meters of the combustion
system. Flame, non–covered light sources or heat sources shall not be brought to the combustion
area unless it is related to the process. Welding in combustion control area shall be approved to
ensure the safety in the area and also preventive measures should be taken into consideration.
Before starting, the operator must confirm whether the burner and gas pipeline are in normal
working condition, and there is no flammable substance around the burner. The burner must be
operated with fuel and oxygen or air. The ignition and operation of the burner must be performed
at the specified position. The burner has been correctly and safely installed before ignition. The
ignition of the burner needs to be performed after the combustion chamber is purged. If it is
ignited at a low temperature, it needs to be replaced with 5 times the volume of the combustion
chamber to avoid explosion.

However, it is not necessary to purge when the temperature is higher than 750°C. Oxygen pipe
or gas pipe connected with burner should be tight enough with no leakage, also the periodically
check air or fuel nozzles of the burners to prevent to be blocked by dust, slag or other materials.
ATTENTION：DANGER OF BEEN BURNT
When burner in operation, combustion is severe, so the burner must be fixed. Hoses or cables in
area of the combustion system must be suitable for high temperature, to prevent high
temperature failure or cause safety accidents. Burners should be periodically inspected and
cleaned. Copper wire brush may be used, if necessary, to clean burner head. The burner system
should be checked twice a year for safety operation.

4.2 Installation of the burner
Inspect burners and burner block for obvious damage. Inspect and clean the inside of the block
opening to prevent debris from obstructing gas and flames.
Fix the burner with four T-bolts corresponding to the four T-slots of the burner block with nuts
on the burner brick, check whether the center of the burner is aligned with the center line of
the brick hole, and at the same time, the brick and the burner are horizontal due to the overall
level. The burner bracket and the brick need to be sealed with a 3mm thick ceramic fiber gasket.
Tighten all mounting bolts. Then connect the oxygen and natural gas flexible hose.

4.3 Burner start
Before starting, verify that all shut-off valves for natural gas and oxygen are closed before
starting. Check that the gas and oxygen hoses are properly and securely connected to the
burner. Prepare the gas and oxygen lines, open the oxygen shutoff valve closest to the burner,
and let oxygen flow through the burner at a rate of about 30 standard cubic meters per hour
to cool the burner. Open the corresponding gas flow regulating valve to establish the gas
flow. Initially adjust the oxygen/gas ratio to 2: 1. The oxygen and gas flow can then be
adjusted according to normal actual parameters
Repeat the above steps until all burners are ignited.
4.4 Burner shut down
To temporarily close the burner, you need to close the front stop valve of the natural gas
burner. Then adjust the oxygen gas flow to a minimum cooling flow of 30Nm3 / H. The burner
does not need to be removed from the burner block at this time.
Do not use this burner if stopped for a long time. You need to close the ball valve burner
downcomer, and then close the oxygen ball valve on downcomer. Disconnect the oxygen and
natural gas quick connector and remove the burner from the bracket. Use insulation fiber to
block burner block opening.
4.5 Burner maintenance
The burner requires regular inspection. Inspection after long periods of non-use is
particularly important. During the first month of burner operation, the nozzles need to be
inspected weekly. In the second month, the frequency of inspections can be extended to
once every two weeks. Anderson recommends that each nozzle be inspected at least monthly.
At each inspection, the burner needs to be removed from the burner block in order to fully
check the status of the burner.
5. Spare parts
With proper use and regular servicing of the burner, we recommend the following parts:
–Quick Coupler high temperature gasket
–Outer nozzle gasket
–Spare burner nozzle
Attention!
–Gas and oxygen must be equipped with check valves,
otherwise tempering may occur.
–Ensure that the furnace temperature is above the minimum
requirement for the ignition temperature of the fuel.
