1.1.1  The Power Flame Model UCM Burner is a forced draft, high swirl, partial premix/nozzle mix gas burner 

which  incorporates  flue  gas  recirculation  on  both  gas  and  oil  to  achieve  ultra  low  NOx  reduction.  The 

combustion  air  is  furnished  by  an  integrally  mounted  combustion  air  fan.  The  Power  Flame  packaged 

combustion  system  can  be  operated  under  positive  or  negative  furnace  pressures  with  clean,  efficient 

combustion in a wide range of combustion chamber conditions. 

1.1.2  Power Flame Model UCM burner’s high swirl design enables greater flame turbulence at a reduced flame 

size.  As a result, these burners require less combustion chamber volume for complete combustion and 

can be easily fired under positive furnace pressure conditions.  

1.1.3  The Power Flame Model UCM burner is a totally packaged and factory tested combustion system offering 

single  unit  responsibility.  The  package  incorporates  accurate  control  of  the  fuel-air  ratio  throughout  the 

firing range with the resultant controlled flame patterns and clean combustion for maximum efficiency. 

1.1.4  Combustion air flow is controlled by a multi-louvered damper assembly. Combustion air is supplied by an 

integral motor-driven blower, which discharges into the burner blast tube assembly.  

1.1.5  The  air-fuel  ratio  is  established  at  the  time  of  start-up  and  proven  with  combustion  test  equipment  to 

provide the lowest practical oxygen and lowest NOx with a clean flame. 

1.1.6  A  Flame  Safeguard  Controller  programs  the  firing  cycle.  The  operating  cycle  is  sequenced  to  ensure 

normal  and  safe  conditions  before  fuel  can  be  introduced  into  the  combustion  chamber  area.  The 

complete  firing  cycle  is  supervised  to  ensure  that  ignition  of  main  flame  is  properly  established  and 

maintained. Flame monitoring is provided by either a lead sulfide or ultraviolet type optical scanner.  

1.1.7  The limit circuit includes the operating limit control to maintain set operating pressure or temperature, as 

well  as  a  high  limit  control  to  guard  against  excessive  pressure  or  temperature.    Low  water  and  other 

similar safety controls can be interlocked into the burner control system to satisfy specific job and/or code 

requirements. 

1.1.8  The control circuit is normally 120 volts. A control circuit transformer may be furnished to provide the 120 

volts control circuit for polyphase motor voltage applications.  

1.1.9  Power Flame Model UCM burners are capable of firing single or multi-fuel applications. A manual change-

over of the particular fuel’s gun assembly is required. 

1.1.10  The pre-wired Control Panel is mounted and  wired as an integral part of the burner in accordance  with 

recommendations of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. and The National Electrical Code. Components are 

wired  to  numbered  terminal  strips.  Panel  and  burners  are  factory  fire  tested  before  shipment. 

Comprehensive wiring and gas and/or oil piping diagrams are furnished with each burner in accordance 

with  individual  job  or  application  requirements.  Wall  mounted  or  free  standing  control  panels  are  also 

available. 

1.1.11  Power Flame Model UCM burners are available with control systems to comply with the requirements of 

Factory Mutual, Industrial Risk Insurers and any special state, municipal, local and utility company codes, 

including New York City Department of Buildings (MEA), NYC Department of Environmental Protection, 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, State of Connecticut Fire Marshall, Illinois School Code and others.

1.2.1  Power  Flame  Model  UCM  burners  are  usually  shipped  as  a  unit  with  an  integrally  mounted,  pre-wired 

control panel.  A remote fuel oil pump-set is shipped separately on the oil and combination oil/gas units.
