It’s easy to mate an Elektrogas S actuator with a VF butterfly valve. Here’s how it’s done: Identifying the Parts To begin, let’s gather and identify the necessary parts. S actuators ship with the parts shown above. 1) The solenoid actuator 2) A connection ring3) Two screws4) A cork gasket Butterfly valve VF ships alone. Read More

FAQ: What is a Package Burner?
A package burner is an industrial burner with its own dedicated blower. The standard scope of supply includes everything you need to safely run the burner: blower, air valve, air pressure switches, gas manifold (with filter, pressure reducing regulator, safety shut-off valves, gas pressure switches, etc.), ignition transformer, and flame safety. You are responsible for Read More
FAQ: What is NFPA86?
If you work in combustion, then you’ve almost certainly heard the term NFPA86 before. Many people seem unsure about what exactly NFPA86 is. So, we’ve put together a handy overview to clarify this commonly heard phrase. NFPA NFPA is an organization (NFPA= National Fire Protection Association). Their goal is to reduce the threat of injury Read More
FAQ: What Does a Pressure Reducing Regulator Do?
Ever wondered what a gas pressure regulator is, or why you need it in your system? We’ve put together this FAQ to help answer your questions! What is a gas regulator? A regulator is a valve with the job of regulating system pressure. In industrial combustion, the two types of regulators we see most often Read More
FAQ: What are Needle Valves?
We often get questions about needle valves. So, we’ve put together this handy FAQ to help answer your questions! Needle valves, also called adjusting valves, or fine-adjusting valves, are usually found downstream of the safety shut-off valves (SSOVs) on the burner gas train, though they can also be found on the burner air train. This Read More
ESA REKO-SIK-NxT-SW
The REKO-SIK-NxT-SW by ESA is a sidewall burner in a self-recuperative body utilizing ESA’s NxT technology. A “sidewall” (or “flat flame” or “wall hugging”) burner traditionally uses centrifugal force to achieve a flame that stays close to the refractory wall, avoiding impingement on the work product. The REKO-SIK-NxT-SW works a bit differently, instead dividing the Read More
Elektrogas SSOV Spare Parts
Are spare parts available for Elektrogas safety shut-off valves (SSOVs)? Absolutely! Don’t scrap that valve just yet. We stock a full range of spare parts for Elektrogas SSOVs, so please check with us first. We’ve compiled a list of the most common spares. Have a look! Dampeners The VML is a slow opening SSOV.

ESA Complete Combustion Systems
Whatever your combustion needs, ESA offers complete combustion systems to help you reach your goals. Their focus is to give you the functions, controls, and productivity you need. ESA can help you reduce energy cost, lower emissions, and meet all necessary rules and regulations. They’re more than a burner manufacturer, though their product range and Read More
FAQ: What Are Butterfly Valves Used For?
Butterfly valves may be used to regulate, or control flow in combustion systems. The models found on our site allow some flow even when 100% closed. Butterfly valves can be found on both gas and air lines in combustion systems. The “butterfly” part of the name actually refers to the rotating disc connected to a Read More
ESA’s Innovative Self-Check UV Scanner
NFPA86 requires burners being monitored by UV scanners to shut-down at least once every twenty-four hours. Why? The reason is safety. A UV sensor is a consumable part, and can fail in either a safe state (no flame present) or an unsafe state (flame present). A typical life cycle for a UV sensor is around Read More
