Infrared Metal-Fiber Burners: Selas Apollo-Ray® AR Series burners are infrared metal-fiber burners with high radiance and all-metal construction and premix design. The Apollo-Ray is available in two sizes. The Apollo-Ray metal fiber burner comes in two sizes, 8” x 6” and 12” x 5”. Infrared heat capacities are 22,000 btu/hr and 30,000 btu/hr, respectively. The radiant output of the burner is approximately 65% IR and 35% convective heat. The emitter temperature reaches 1700 degrees F (927 degrees C) at high fire. The burner is designed to operate best at 19.3% oxygen in the air/gas feed. Features and Benefits Corrosion Resistant All Stainless Steel Burner Body High Radiance Delivers up to 1700°F (927°C) Up to 30,000 BTU/Hr per 12″ x 5″ section Up to 22,000 BTU/hr per 6″ x 8″ section Fuel Efficient, Cost Effective Operation High Performance Multi-Layer Sintered Metal Fiber Alloy Emitter Quick Heating and Cooling Optimizes Productivity Low Profile, Standard or High Profile Configurations Ideal for Food and Industrial Applications Operating Principles The Apollo-Ray (AR) burner is a surface combustion, metal fiber gas-fired infrared burner. The premixed air and gas passes through the burner body and out through the porous emitter surface. Combustion takes place in a thin layer just above the outer surface. The Apollo-Ray has a long life due to the sintered metal fiber alloy emitter. Its many micro pores disperse and entrain the air gas mixture. Once ignited, robust infrared radiance is uniformly dispersed over the emitter’s entire surface. This produces fuel savings of 20%+ over knit metal and other fiber burners.
