FPS Oil Igniter System

(Continued on reverse side)

The Babcock & Wilcox Company
(B&W) has successfully used the
FPS igniter in a variety of burners
and fuel applications. Such applica-
tions include new low NO
X
burners
as well as replacement of old igniters
in existing burners.
This advanced igniter design
was developed to achieve superior
flame ignition and flame stability
with low opacity. The FPS oil igniter
serves a dual purpose because of its
wide heat input range. It offers a
virtually pollution-free method for
boiler warm-up when operated at
maximum heat release, and with
proper controls, operates at an
economically reduced heat input for
main fuel light-off and ignition
support.
The B&W FPS igniter is designed
as a simple plug-in replacement of
your existing igniter with little or no
modification necessary to the rest of
the burner. Igniters are shop-
assembled and inspected before
shipment. Each is backed by our
outstanding customer service as well
as more than 130 years of quality,
integrity and field experience in the
power generation industry. Count
on B&Ws system approach for the
engineering expertise necessary to
meet your burner and boiler needs.

Mechanical Design Features
Components Features
1. Oil Atomizer Assembly SST construction, produces a finer spray, reduces particulate and opacity emissions,
minimizes atomizer plugging
2 PAI Spark Probe High temperature extension with removable spark tip
3 Flame Detection Rod Integral flame detection, discriminates between igniter and burner; high tempera-
ture extension with removable flame rod
4 Stationary Guide Tube Stationary guide tube with stainless steel end mounts easily into the burner
5 Eddy Plate Provides proper mixing of the combustion air and fuel for reliable ignition and
flame stability
6 Seal Air Connection Seal air chamber allows removal of the spark and flame rods and the oil atomizer
7 Combustion Air Inlet Supplies combustion/cooling air to the igniter
8 Flex Conduits Flexible conduit connections allow removal of the flame and spark rods without
electrical disconnects
9 Oil and Air Connections Positive shut-off quick disconnects allows easy maintenance, while 1/4 in. oil and
3/8 in. air connections prevents accidental switching
