Product:\u00a0MaxFire\u00ae Gas Igniter<\/h4>\n

The MAXFire\u00ae 100 Series gas igniter incorporates the \u201cprotected primary combustion zone\u201d design in each of the 5 capacities available. The ignition process starts inside the guide tube away from the burner environment resulting in an extremely stable and reliable igniter. Capacities (nominal) range from 1 mmBtu\/hr to 50 mmBtu\/hr.<\/p>\n

MAXFire\u00ae gas igniters provide the most reliable source of energy for main flame ignition, flame stabilization, and boiler warm-up.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_section title=”Product Overview” tab_id=”1535228058413-12a31845-683a5426-2a926f74-14606e20-5036″][vc_column_text]The MAXFire\u00ae Series 100 gas igniters can be used as a Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 igniter, depending on burner capacity. The MAXFire\u00ae igniter is easily installed as a retrofit into most burner types based on its size, capacity, and reliable operation.<\/p>\n

MAXFire\u00ae gas igniters consist of four major components: a guide tube, a gas transport tube, a spark rod, and a stainless steel diffuser for pilot stabilization. The guide tube houses the spark rod and the gas transport tube, which are easily removed from the guide tube for maintenance purposes by releasing a \u201cV\u201d band retainer, requiring no tools. Cooling\/combustion airflow is directed down the guide tube to support and maintain the primary combustion zone during operation. The controlled mixture of fuel and air in the primary combustion zone results in a highly reliable, stable igniter flame. While out of service, airflow cools the igniter and prevents debris from migrating into the end of the guide tube.<\/p>\n

MAXFire\u00ae gas igniters come standard with Forney\u2019s High Energy Spark Igniter (HESI) as the spark source. The HESI produces a powerful 12-joule spark approximately three times per second at the primary combustion zone. The HESI spark tip is a nonfouling, surface-gap tip which is replaceable as a unit by a threaded connection. Optional equipment for the MAXFire\u00ae includes a High Tension Spark (HTSI) source in place of the HESI, mounting hardware, hoses, flame rod and an integral or externally mounted optical flame detector.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Technical Data” tab_id=”1535228058480-927f5ae5-e2315426-2a926f74-14606e20-5036″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
