Limpsfield Burner Startup and Tuning

Limpsfield Combustion Engineering builds industrial burners in Biggin Hill, England. Its LC range burners can fire a wide range of fuels, including natural gas, light and heavy fuel oils, and biogas.

Many Limpsfield burners in the U.S. run on Autoflame controls. Commissioning one means setting the fuel-air curves in the Autoflame and, where an exhaust gas analyzer is fitted, setting up the trim. On multi-fuel burners, each fuel has its own curve, so we set and check every fuel the burner is configured to fire.

What we check on every startup or tune-up: fuel pressures against the burner's specification, the safety switches and limits, ignition and the flame signal, and the fuel-air ratio at each firing rate, measured with a calibrated combustion analyzer. You get the O2, CO, and efficiency readings before and after, in writing.

Common reasons to call: lockouts or flame failures that keep coming back, hard starts, high CO or soot, a burner that hasn't been tuned in over a year, or a burner coming back online after repairs, a fuel change, or a control replacement.
