NORTH AMERICAN HI-RAM BURNERS

High-speed burners that optimize heat transfer, thermal uniformity, efficiency, and low emissions.

What are Hi-Ram Burners?

Fives North American HiRAM (High Recirculation Air Movement) burners are high-velocity industrial combustion equipment designed for applications where the operation requires uniform heat distribution, thermal efficiency, and low pollutant emissions. They are recognized for their ability to generate a very high-velocity flue gas flow, which creates intense gas recirculation inside the furnace, significantly improving heat transfer and temperature uniformity.

These burners are mainly used in heat treatment furnaces, aluminum melting applications, drying, rotary furnaces, and certain metallurgical applications. They are designed to operate across high capacity ranges, from 4 to 25 million BTU/hr, while maintaining stable and efficient combustion.

Hi-Ram Burners characteristics

Their main characteristics include:

High discharge velocity

High energy release rates

Low NOx emissions

Thermal uniformity

Very high modulation ranges

For all these reasons, Fives North American HiRAM burners represent an advanced solution for industrial combustion processes that require high heat transfer, temperature uniformity, and energy efficiency.

Due to their design, they enable strong gas recirculation inside the furnace, improving process quality and reducing fuel consumption.

Key Features of Hi-Ram Burners

  • Temperature uniformity
    Due to strong internal gas recirculation, these burners achieve a much more homogeneous heat distribution inside the combustion chamber. This helps prevent cold and hot spots inside the furnace, improving thermal efficiency, product quality, and process stability and repeatability.
  • Low NOx emissions
    They are designed to produce low NOx emissions, which is increasingly important for companies due to environmental regulations. Users benefit from environmental compliance, lower ecological impact, and the ability to operate in facilities with strict emission limits.
  • High heat transfer velocity
    This translates into increased flame penetration and improved movement of hot gases inside the furnace, resulting in shorter heating times, increased productivity, and lower energy consumption.
  • Wide modulation range
    They operate efficiently from low loads to high thermal demands, while maintaining a stable flame and consistent performance.
