The design of these burners and the type used on Olympic Torchbearer updraft
gas kilns are similar, a simple pipe burner.
I described sometime back about my tales of woe & intrigue dealing with my
Olympic updraft and how I changed out the burners to get it to work
properly.
Wondering if any of you out there in fuel firing kiln land have gotten these
type burners to work ok?
Does a pipe burner, as apposed to a venturi burner, require more gas
velocity to work?
Does orientation (vertical VS horizontal) affect the performance?
