Glory Hole Combustion
A Regulator [A] maintains stable gas pressure over the full range of required gas flow. A Zero-governor [B] maintains proportional gas flow to the corresponding, desired air pressure. An optional Reduction Pedal system [D] uses a Solenoid [ C] to boost gas flow around the gas/air mixture [E] creating a gas rich mixture and a flame that reduces certain glass colors. Premix systems are noted for their ability to mix air and gas very intimately so that the flame is a very hot one that burns quickly and efficiently. Eclipse Inc.‘s Low pressure proportional mixer [F], when used with a zero governor, maintains a user-defined gas-air ratio throughout the operational range. This means that to adjust the flame from high to low, the user needs only to adjust the Butterfly valve [O] setting, and the gas will be adjusted automatically. The result is a savings in fuel and time. We use these proportional mixers primarily on glory holes, though they may also be used on furnaces. The Verilflame [G] flame monitoring unit continually checks the U.V. Scanner [H] for a flame. Spiral Arts Glory Hole Burners [J], widely acclaimed for their excellent flame stability and quiet operation, are easy to install and exceptionally durable. The DMV/DLE [K], Air pressure switch [L], and Gas pressure switches [M+N] are components of our NFPA86 Safety Package.
