Dual Fuel Burners
Fuel Combinations
There are some dual fuel options or oven types that have been installed in many production bakeries over the years. A combination of Oil and Electricity is often used. When the electricity is not available, local stored oil, from tanks on the premises, is the dual fuel option that is used to heat and fire up the band oven. Oil and other fossil fuels are more commonly used around the globe and obtainability is adequate in most countries, some even better than others and at fairly good prices.
Advantages of Dual Fuel
The Multibake® R and I are indirect fired ovens and can be both equipped with dual fuel burners.
The available burners function on Natural Gas / Propane or Diesel oil burning clean fuel gases, lighting oils or both simultaneously. Low horsepower requirements reduce initial and ongoing operating costs. The burner uses compressed air for oil atomization and has a compact design for easy installation and maintenance. The dual fuel option provides application flexibility with: turndown up to 20:1; heat releases up to 2.750,000 Btu/hr (800 kW).
