Direct Hot Air Generators

Used for heat transfer for industrial purpses.

Direct type generators with combustion flue gas and process air mixing, equipped with thermal units fed with gaseous and/or liquid fuels. They can also be supplied with electric or hybrid thermal units.
Main areas of use: ceramic, brick, mineral and raw material processing, detergent, etc.

They can be of two categories depending on the type of burner. When the burner is of the air vein type we realize the full-crossing generator, that is, the burner body is invested over the entire section by the process air. The construction can provide for internal or alternatively external cladding.

When the burner is of the traditional type we construct a generator that provides a concentric external structure with the combustion chamber. Generally, the construction includes the inner lining of refractory material where the burner flame can develop.
Between the outer structure of the generator and the firebox we have a space for the passage of process air. The process air also has the function of “cooling” the combustion chamber both internally and externally.

At the generator end, combustion flue gas and process air mix together.
They can be designed with a horizontal axis or a vertical axis.

Indirect Hot Air Generators

Indirect type generators with separation of flue gas and process air, equipped with thermal units fed with gaseous and/or liquid fuels.
Main areas of use: food, cereal.

Technical features

  • Combustion chamber, where the burner flame develops and inverses.

  • Concentric shell tube in which the combustion fumes flow internally. The tubes are connected on the opposite side to a circular collector from which combustion fumes are discharged.

  • The collector has the function of “collecting” all the fumes coming from the tubes, before being expelled from the chimney.

  • The external structure of the heat generator, cylindrical and coaxial with the combustion chamber and shell tube, has the purpose of containing the process air that is heated by crossing both the interior combustion chamber and the entire shell tube.

  • Externally the generators are insulated with mineral fibre and sheet coating. Usually the total thickness of the coating is 100 mm.
