FPS Oil Igniter System 

(Continued on reverse side

The Babcock & Wilcox Company(B&W) has successfully used theFPS igniter in a variety of burnersand fuel applications. Such applica-tions include new low NO

X burners

as well as replacement of old ignitersin existing burners.

This advanced igniter designwas developed to achieve superiorflame ignition and flame stabilitywith low opacity. The FPS oil igniterserves a dual purpose because of its

wide heat input range. It offers avirtually pollution-free method for

 boiler warm-up when operated atmaximum heat release, and withproper controls, operates at aneconomically reduced heat input formain fuel light-off and ignitionsupport.

The B&W FPS igniter is designedas a simple plug-in replacement of your existing igniter with little or nomodification necessary to the rest of the burner. Igniters are shop-assembled and inspected beforeshipment. Each is backed by ouroutstanding customer service as wellas more than 130 years of quality,integrity and field experience in thepower generation industry. Counton B&W’s system approach for theengineering expertise necessary tomeet your burner and boiler needs.

Mechanical Design Features 

Components Features  

1. Oil Atomizer Assembly SST construction, produces a finer spray, reduces particulate and opacity emissions,minimizes atomizer plugging

2 PAI Spark Probe High temperature extension with removable spark tip

3 Flame Detection Rod Integral flame detection, discriminates between igniter and burner; high tempera-ture extension with removable flame rod

4 Stationary Guide Tube Stationary guide tube with stainless steel end mounts easily into the burner

5 Eddy Plate Provides proper mixing of the combustion air and fuel for reliable ignition andflame stability

6 Seal Air Connection Seal air chamber allows removal of the spark and flame rods and the oil atomizer

7 Combustion Air Inlet Supplies combustion/cooling air to the igniter

8 Flex Conduits Flexible conduit connections allow removal of the flame and spark rods without

electrical disconnects9 Oil and Air Connections Positive shut-off quick disconnects allows easy maintenance, while 1/4 in. oil and

3/8 in. air connections prevents accidental switching
