Webster Combustion is based in Winfield, Kansas, and is part of Selas Heat Technology. Webster builds forced-draft burners from small gas-only units up to large high-turndown, low-NOx, multi-fuel burners.
Webster burners ship with either linkage controls or linkageless systems from Autoflame, Siemens, Fireye, or Honeywell. The tuning procedure depends on which one is on your burner, so the first step on every visit is identifying the control system. On linkageless systems, we set the fuel-air curves in the control; on linkage burners, we check the linkage for wear first.
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.
