Preferred Utilities’ API Inject-Aire Burner - Superior Performance
Based in Redding, CT, David Bohn is an experienced engineering and manufacturing executive. The president of Preferred Utilities Manufacturing Corporation, David Bohn of Redding, CT, recently wrote an article outlining the efficiencies of the company’s new API Inject-Aire burner. Preferred Utilities’ new API Inject-Aire burner was designed specifically for a market trending toward low carbon emissions and higher energy efficiency. The burner, which has already been installed at Stapleton Houses, has enabled the New York City Housing Authority to record substantial electricity and fuel savings while reducing overall maintenance costs. Here’s what makes the burner stand out over previous models: - The burner features advanced components which result in an 85 percent reduction in electricity consumption over many burners in use today. Lower energy consumption results in lower overall carbon emissions. This makes it compliant with many regulations requiring operators to reduce their carbon footprint. In addition, the low emission technology can be easily upgraded to more advanced technologies without significant cost outlays. - The burner was designed for a high turndown of 10:1 on natural gas and 8:1 on oil. - The burner achieves a 50 percent cycling reduction in components such as the burner motor and burner and boiler servos over similar products. This stress reduction significantly reduces maintenance costs and increases burner longevity. - The burner eliminates 50 percent of low turndown burner purge cycles, significantly reducing boiler heat loss and resulting in less fuel wasted and lower carbon emissions. Fewer cycles also mean reduced wear and tear.
