DUAL-FUEL BURNERS
Bulletin 614
Continental Thermal Engineers
614 FIRE. ALL Dual-Fuel Burners are nozzle mix,
sealed in burners for gas, light oil, or heavy oil.
Capable of efficient operation throughout a wide
temperature range, these burners are equally at home
on low temperature ovens and high temperature forge
and melting furnaces.
Ruggedly built for sustained, maintenance-free
operation, 614 Burners also provide for quick change
of fuels without disturbing process operations.
Sealed mountings help maintain furnace pressure,
controlled atmosphere, and closer air/fuel ratio
control-all contributing to better product quality.
Fire. All Burners have been used for years on all types
of furnaces with great success. For limits in a specific case, either rich or lean, consult

SPECIAL OPTIONS
The following options are availanble for the 614 burner but require
consultation with your Continental Thermal field engineer for
application and ordering information.
1. Increased capacities - most sizes are available with up to
30% extra capacity.
2. Hinged bodies for easy access to internals.
3. Short flame versions are available in most sizes.
4. Special high pressure oil atomizers are available.
Cleaning air must be introduced into the port downstream of the
sensor to keep oil and poc’s off the tens.

DIMENSIONS - Main air, gas, atomizing air, and oil connections can be rotated relative to one another and to the mounting
plate. Drawings show connections as assembled as the factory. These arrangements reduce maintenance by preventing oil
dripping into air or gas manifolds (which should be above burners) and by minimizing dirt accumulation in pilots and flame
supervisory devices. Pilot and main air connections cannot be aligned in the same direction.

1. Flanged connection -- a standard Continental Thermal square threaded flange for sizes - 6, -7, -8, main air connections, but SW style inlet may be
specified with no change in price. An SW inlet (suitable for slip-on or welded connection) is standard for -9 and -10 burners.
2. Opening in furnace shell or outer wall must be 1/2” larger than dimension “AA” to allow for mounting plate fillet and draft.
3. Blank boss-- as a no cost special may be specified with a 2” pipe tap for photocell, or a 1-1/2” tap suitable for 5025-3-IT Oil Pilot, in which case Continental
Thermal will drill out 1/2” web or refractory left in tiel before shipment, and the burner nose will be positioned so none of its hotels are in front of that
opening. To order, specify”...Burner Complete with 3-___ - _ mounting (fill in part number from appropriate parts list for mounting with 2” tap or
1-1/2” tap as desired) For -10 size, which has no boss, one half of an appropriately sized coupling is added when specified.
4. 1” BSP for electrode or UV flame detector
5. Pipe nipple not furnished by Continental Thermal. Dimension Z and DD assume a 3/8” close nipple between burner and Microtrol Oil Valve (614-6) through
-8-B) and a 1/2” cloase nipple between burner and Microtrol Valve 614-9 and-10)
6. Apples when optional SW inlet is specified
7. Flanged connection -- a Standard Continental Thermal square threaded flantge is used.
8. Flanged connection -- a standard ANSI 125 psi threaded flange is used.
9. If optional tubing purchased from Continental Thermal.

ANSI or SW flanges: Flat face companion flanges and full gaskets are supplied with this equipment. Do not used raised face flanges that may damage mating
flange.
