Through our discussions regarding equipment selection, you’ve learned that pulse-fire requires solenoid valves with extremely high operating cycles, burners that light reliably, and some method of impulse control. Through dozens of installations, our technicians have encountered and overcome a number of additional pitfalls, which can derail even the best planned system. Oversized Burners A common Read More

Pulse-fire 101 — Pulse-fire Implementation
Now that you’re familiar with the history, ideas, and benefits of pulse-fire, it’s time to look at implementation. Knowing what you do about the demands that pulse-firing exacts upon components, you want to make sure to get the most for your money, so you don’t wind-up spending your fuel savings on replacements. VMR, VML, VMM Read More
Pulse-fire 101 – Pulse-fire Equipment
Not all combustion equipment is suitable for pulse-firing. Some of the key equipment requirements for a successful pulse-fire installation include: operating cycles in excess of one million, capability of three cycles per minute, and repeatability. Solenoid Valve Operating Cycles In traditional, modulating systems, gas solenoids open during start-up and remain open during furnace operation. Unless Read More
Pulse-fire 101 – An Introduction to Pulse-fire Combustion Systems
Improve your bottom line, lower your operating costs, increase your product quality, and do your part to reduce greenhouse gases. How? By using pulse-fire to transform your industrial furnace! What is Pulse-fire? More than anything else, pulse-fire is a method of introducing heat into a gas-fired furnace. Traditional modulating systems use valves to control the Read More
Ignition Transformer FAQ
An ignition transformer is a device used for direct spark ignition in combustion systems. Reliable, repeatable direct-spark ignition requires a high-energy spark — and the ignition transformer is what we use to generate the high voltage we need to create that spark. A typical supply in the USA is 120 volts, but we need to send Read More
