WARNING
This equipment is potentially dangerous with the possibility of serious personal injury
and property damage. Hauck Manufacturing Company recommends the use of flame
supervisory equipment and fuel safety shutoff valves. Furthermore, Hauck urges rigid
adherence to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and insurance
underwriter’s requirements. Operation and regular preventative maintenance of this
equipment should be performed only by properly trained and qualified personnel.
Annual review and upgrading of safety equipment is recommended.

A. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Hauck Long Nose StarJet Burner combines reliable operation with a unique, adjustable
flame shaping feature, eliminating the weight and maintenance problems of ignition tiles.
Matching burner flame shape to dryer design is the real secret to overall dryer efficiency. Some
dryers work best with a long, narrow, hard driving flame, while other dryers with the same
related capacity require a short bushy, turbulent flame. Frequently, problems such as
overheating of the combustion chamber, excessive exhaust gas temperatures and poor heat
transfer can be eliminated by shaping the burner flame. The burners in the StarJet series have
an extremely wide range of flame shape adjustment.

Burner air consists of primary air (atomizing air) and secondary air. Both are supplied by the
Hauck turbo blower. The plant exhaust air provides the remaining air required for complete
combustion and exhaust gas removal.

The Long Nose StarJet will burn all clean commercial grades of fuel oil, natural gas, and liquid
propane. The burner provides a 7 to 1 turndown from the maximum firing rate.

NOTE
Liquid propane and heavier oil fuels could have less than 7 to 1 turndown.

Table 1. Long Nose Burner Capacities with High Pressure Direct Drive Blowers

Capacity Table Notes:

1. Oil capacities based on 138,000 Btu per gallon. Viscosity of oil delivered at the burner must
be 90 SSU or lower.
2. Gas capacities based on 1000 Btu per cubic foot and 5 psi manifold inlet pressure with a 3
psi drop across manifold.
3. Liquid propane capacities based on 91,044 Btu per gallon and 50 psi above vapor pressure
at inlet of LP burner control valve. (Butane and 50/50 propane/butane mixture capacities
available upon request.)
o
4. Burner capacities based on standard air density: sea level (29.92 "Hg) at 70 F. Correction
factors must be applied for altitude/temperature variations. Consult Hauck for assistance, if
required.
 Page 3
LNSJ-9

5. Only 40% of air for combustion is passed through the burner. The remaining 60% of air for
combustion plus a minimum of 20% excess air must be induced by the dryer exhaust
system at a negative pressure of 0.25" wc at the burner/breeching ring.
6. Horsepower rating is based on Hauck blower performance. Blowers of other manufacturers
may be used, however, higher horsepower motors may be required because of lower
efficiencies.
7. "E", "F" & "G" Model burners can be accurately monitored for air flow by using the body
pressure P1 test point with an accurate ounce pressure gauge. Burners equipped with a
blower inlet orifice can be monitored for air flow using a draft gauge capable of reading
negative 3 "wc. Readings can be related to scfm on corresponding burner charts.
8. Burners equipped with a gas orifice meter can be accurately checked for gas flow by
measuring the differential pressure across the orifice meter with a U-tube device
(manometer) capable of reading 0-20 "wc. Readings can be related to gas flow using
corresponding Burner Performance Table under gas orifice ∆P ("wc) and gas flow (scfh).

Flight Design in the combustion zone is important. The combustion zone should be clear of
veiling material and large enough to accommodate complete combustion. Consult Hauck for
recommended combustion zone requirements.

C. OPERATION

WARNING
Adjustment of this equipment, by unqualified
personnel, can result in fire, explosion, severe
personal injury, or even death.

1. The Long Nose StarJet fuel-air system uses a single control motor for modulation of burner
air and fuel.
o
2. This control motor travels 90 from low to high fire, driving both the burner air and fuel
valves simultaneously.

3. Only 30% to 40% of total burner air is passed through the burner (includes burner primary
and secondary air). The remaining combustion air is drawn past the burner cone by the
plant exhaust system.

4. Burner primary air is on at all times on all fuels.

5. A constant negative draft of approximately 0.25" wc is important in maintaining a constant

air flow past the burner without puffing the drum front. This negative pressure can be
maintained with a Hauck DPS pressure control system. The negative pressure tap should
be located in a position that insures sufficient air flow through the burner mounting tube.
 Page 4
LNSJ-9
D. LOW FIRE LIMIT ADJUSTMENT
Set the secondary air low fire limit switch (see Figure 1) so the cam does not trip the actuating
arm of the limit switch when the butterfly air control valve is at the low fire position. Clearance
between the switch wheel and cam at low fire should be set at 1/16 inch.

G. RECEIVING AND INSPECTION
Upon receipt, check each item on the bill of lading and/or invoice to determine that all
equipment has been received. A careful examination of all parts should be made to ascertain if
there has been any damage in shipment.

NOTE
If installation is delayed and equipment is stored
outside, provide adequate protection as dictated
by climate and period of exposure. Special care
should be given to all motors, control motors
and bearings, if applicable, to protect them from
rain or excessive moisture.

H. MOUNTING BURNER

X5375

Figure 6. Burner Mounting Tube Detail

1. The burner should be mounted on the drum centerline at the same pitch as the drum.
Install a structure to support and position the burner's skid. The skid's support
structure should provide a minimum adjustment of 12" from the "F" dimension shown in
Figure 6. Burner repositioning may be required for final burner adjustment.

2. Position the mini-skid on the support and securely bolt it in place.

 Page 9
LNSJ-9

3. Position the burner so that the distance between the heat shield and the mounting tube
satisfies the “F” min. dimension (see Figure 6).

IMPORTANT
The pilot flame scanner must be aligned to
view just above the pilot as it passes through
the flame holder cone. The second scanner
(main flame) should be sighted just over the
edge of the flame holder cone, in line with the
flame.

4. Scanner purge air is provided by a direct air line from the burner air body. Approximately
2 to 4 scfm are required to purge both the pilot and main flame scanners.

5. Ensure that the main flame and pilot scanner are positioned as shown in Figure 7.

X5377
Figure 7. Main Flame and Pilot Scanner Location

6. Shim under the burner skid, if necessary, to align the burner horizontal and vertical
centerlines with the horizontal and vertical centerlines of the dryer drum (or
combustion chamber). THE ASSEMBLED BURNER MUST BE ON THE
COMBUSTION CHAMBER CENTERLINE AND AT THE SAME PITCH AS THE
COMBUSTION CHAMBER. (Follow the dryer manufacturer's recommendation for
burners used without combustion chambers.)
 Page 10
LNSJ-9
I. FUEL MANIFOLD INSTALLATION
The Long Nose Starjet burner system is supplied with a separate fuel valve manifold.
Depending on fuel or fuels specified, the manifold(s) will be designated as POM - Pre-piped Oil
Manifold, PGM - Pre-piped Gas Manifold, or PLPM - Pre-piped LP Manifold. Refer to dimension
drawings supplied for component dimensions.

IMPORTANT
Valve manifolds must be mounted in a
horizontal position. Valves will not function
properly mounted vertically. Liquid fuel
manifolds should not be mounted above
the burner centerline.

POM and PLPM manifolds should be

mounted as close to the burner as
possible.

For heavy fuel oil applications (any oil

requiring heating for use) Hauck
recommends, in addition to an adequate oil
heating system, using insulation and heat
trace to maintain proper temperatures for
achieving oil viscosity of 90 SSU or less.
Fuel temperatures should not exceed
250°F (120°C). Oil viscosity should be
checked prior to burner operation.

Hauck recommends the use of solid pipe

to connect fuel manifolds to the burner fuel
inlets. Schedule 40 iron pipe is
recommended for gas and oil systems. LP
applications REQUIRE the use of Schedule
80 pipe and fittings rated for 350 psig.
Flexible hoses should not be used to
connect to burner fuel inlet.
 Page 11
LNSJ-9
J. BURNER PILOT SYSTEM
The Long Nose StarJet Burner incorporates a pre-mix pilot (see Figure 8). The pilot and
scanner assemblies should always be pointed downward to avoid the collection of debris and
water. They will be properly oriented at delivery if the installed air inlet position was indicated
when burner was ordered. Adjustments and operation of the pilot system are detailed below.

1. Connect a pilot gas supply at the pilot gas shutoff. If natural gas is being used the pilot
gas supply should be taken downstream of the main gas regulator. If propane is to
be used a regulator capable of supplying 60 scfh of propane vapor at 5 psig must be
installed between the LP container and pilot gas shutoff.

X5376

Figure 8. Long Nose StarJet Premix Pilot

2. The spark gap is factory set at 1/8". This gap can be changed by carefully removing the
pilot internals. Bend the spark wire to adjust, reinsert, and check the gap.

3. The pilot mixing tee (Item 4) has an adjustable gas screw (Item 4a). To adjust, remove the
cover (Item 4b), loosen the lock nut and gently turn the adjusting screw in the CW direction
until it has bottomed, then turn in the CCW direction two and one-half (2-1/2) turns.

4. The butterfly valve (Item 4c) upstream of the pilot mixing tee should be set at the full open
position.

K. NATURAL GAS FUEL PIPING SYSTEM

WARNING
Check inside diameter of the secondary
air sleeve (see Figure 18) to ensure
that the correct sleeve is installed.
Burner Size Sleeve I.D.
LNSJ 360 9-7/8"
LNSJ 520 10-5/8"
LNSJ 580 11-1/8"
LNSJ 750 14-1/8"
LNSJ 980 15-3/8"

NOTE
Hauck recommends the use of gas manifolds
that meet NFPA guidelines. NFPA requires
two safety shutoff valves wired in series and
a shutoff cock downstream of the second
(blocking) shutoff valve, and high and low
gas pressure switches which are interlocked
with the burner’s safety shutoff valves. Hauck
gas manifolds have been designed to ensure
compliance to NFPA requirements.

1. Install a controlling gas regulator in the main gas line within 25 feet of the burner. For
optimum control, supply 15-20 psig to this regulator. This regulator should be sized to
provide the required gas flow at the inlet of the burner manifold; 2 psig to 5 psig is a nominal
expected gas pressure. Exact gas pressures will be set at start-up.

2. A manual shutoff valve, drip leg and gas strainer must be installed upstream of the gas
control regulator to ensure compliance to NFPA requirements. The shutoff valve facilitates
servicing of the gas control regulator, drip leg, filter device and other components in the gas
manifold.

3. The gas company should purge the main gas line for scale and dirt before it is attached to
the burner gas manifold.

4. Connect the main gas line (see Figure 9).

IMPORTANT
Install a flexible fitting in the gas manifold to
reduce flexing of the manifold resulting from
plant vibrations. Be sure to install the gas
metering orifice section provided with
the gas valve metering kit to measure
gas flow. Excluding this section will
make initial set-up and tuning difficult.

5. The piping from the gas regulator outlet to the burner gas manifold should be sized to
minimize pressure losses.

6. Check blower rotation. The impeller should rotate toward the blower discharge.

7. Inspect and operate the plant exhaust damper and control. The exhaust damper should be
capable of maintaining a consistent negative pressure at the drum front bulkhead of
negative 0.2 to negative 0.5 "wc from low to high firing rates for most applications.

8. Install a gas sampling probe in the dryer rear plate (see Application Sheet GJ73).

9. Set the low gas pressure switch to an initial setting of 0.5 psig.

10. Set the high gas pressure switch to an initial setting of 5 psig.

11. Complete the initial adjustment of the gas butterfly as follows: The valve is factory set to
travel 90 degrees from position 1 to position Run. This travel can be modified to increase or
decrease low fire by choosing a lower or higher starting point.

12. Open all shutoff cocks in the gas line upstream of the gas pressure switch.

WARNING
Adjustment of this equipment and its components by
unqualified personnel can result in fire, explosion,
severe personal injury, or even death.

13. Start gas flow to the gas manifold.

14. Adjust the gas regulator until the pressure gauge upstream of the automatic blocking valve
indicates a pressure of 2 psig.

15. High fire can be modified by increasing or decreasing gas pressure. After setting high fire
gas pressure, low fire must be rechecked. Refer to individual Burner Orifice Meters Graph
for gas flows through the gas orifice meter (see Appendix).

16. Burner flame adjustment spin vanes can be set at 0 to 60 degrees; 0 degrees narrows the
flame, 60 degrees widens the flame, and 30 degrees is a nominal starting point.

17. Burner air adjustments: (see Section C - Operation)

18. Recheck all linkages for tightness.

19. Install a U-tube manometer across the gas orifice meter taps.

20. Connect a flue gas analyzer to the gas sampling probe.

21. Flue gas readings should be taken with the burner firing at operating tonnage (see
Application Sheet GJ73).

M. HEAVY OIL FUEL PIPING SYSTEM

SPECIAL NOTE
Hauck recommends the use of oil manifolds
that meet NFPA guidelines. NFPA requires
two safety shutoff valves piped in series in
the burners main oil line. A low oil pressure
switch must be interlocked with the burner’s
safety shutoff valves. When preheated oil is
used, a low oil temperature limit switch must
be interlocked to the burner’s oil safety
shutoff valves. Hauck’s oil manifolds have
been designed to ensure compliance to
NFPA requirements.

WARNING
Adjustment of this equipment and its components by
unqualified personnel, can result in fire, explosion,
severe personal injury, or even death.

WARNING
Heated fuel oil and piping is hot. Precautions must be
taken to prevent contact with heated oil and piping.
Proper insulation should be installed on hot oil pipes.
Protective gloves and clothing are recommended
when working with heated fuel oil.

1. Oil supply manifold (see Figure 11 - heavy oil manifold): For recommended piping sizes,
see sheet GL88 in Appendix. For POM oil manifold instructions, see Section I.

2. Fuel used must be 80 to 90 SSU or less for proper atomization and burning. Use a
Hauck viscometer kit (not supplied - part no. 36931) to determine the proper oil
temperature for 80 to 90 SSU.

3. Set the oil heater temperature set point and the indicating low oil temperature switch
(located on the burner's oil manifold) to the temperature determined from Step 2.

4. Before attaching fuel lines, purge the lines.

5. Open all shutoff cocks upstream of the metering valve(s).

6. Open the pressure gauge cock.

7. Start the pump and heating medium.

8. Close the shutoff cock immediately downstream of the normally open solenoid in the heavy
oil recirculating line.
 Page 19
LNSJ-9

9. Adjust the pressure control valve on the pump set until the required oil pressure is
achieved. Final pump pressure will have to be adjusted to attain desired burner output and
stack analysis (see Fuel Pressure in Table 2).

10. Open the shutoff cock in the recirculating line.

11. Using the low temperature indicating switch located on the burner, verify that the oil is at
the desired temperature from Step 2. Adjust the heater until the proper heat is attained at
the burner.

12. Check and repair all leaks.

13. The burner oil metering valve is factory set to travel 90 degrees from position 1 to position
10.

The low fire oil valve is manually set and regulates low fire flow. This valve can be easily
changed to regulate low fire. Start this valve at position 9. The low fire valve can easily be
cleaned:

a. Mark the valve pointer position.

b. Turn the valve counterclockwise to the clean position.
c. Return the valve pointer to its original position.

14. High fire can be modified by increasing or decreasing fuel pressure or by changing the
maximum oil metering valve stroke. After changing fuel pressure, low fire should be
rechecked.

15. Check rotation of the combustion blower. The impeller should rotate toward the blower
discharge.

16. Inspect and operate the plant exhaust damper control. The exhaust damper should be
capable of maintaining a consistent negative pressure at the drum front bulkhead of
negative 0.2 "wc to negative 0.5 "wc from low to high firing rates for most applications.

17. The low oil pressure switch is factory set at 15 psig. This setting may have to be lowered if
final pressures are low.

18. Burner flame spin vanes adjustment can be set at 0 to 60 degrees; 0 degrees narrows the
flame, 60 degrees widens the flame, and 30 degrees is a nominal starting point.

19. Burner air adjustments: (see Section C - Operation)

20. Recheck all linkages for tightness.

21. Install a gas sampling probe in the dryer drum rear (see Application Sheet GJ73).

N. FUEL OIL ATOMIZER
The position of the fuel oil atomizer affects its ability to atomize the oil. The atomizer should be
positioned as shown in Figure 13.

LNSJ 360, 520, 580 LNSJ 750, 980

Figure 13. Atomizer Position

To change the fuel oil atomizer position:

1. Shut the oil valve upstream of the safety shutoff valves.

2. Disconnect the Burner Atomizer Assembly from the oil manifold, using the union located
downstream of the flexible hose.

3. Note the present orientation of the atomizer while assembled in the burner. Determine if the
atomizer must be retracted into the primary tube or extended out of it (see Figure 13).

4. Remove the four bolts securing the backplate to the burner.

5. Loosen the jam nut on the backplate of the Burner Atomizer Assembly.

6. Rotate the backplate to effect the required retraction or extension of the atomizer. One full
rotation of the backplate will move the atomizer approximately 0.1".

7. Once the proper positioning of the atomizer is completed:

a. Tighten the jam nut.
b. Attach the Burner Atomizer Assembly to the oil manifold, using the union provided.
c. Open the oil valve upstream of the safety shutoff valves.
 Page 22
LNSJ-9
O. LP GAS FUEL PIPING SYSTEM
NOTE
Hauck recommends the use of LP manifolds
that meet NFPA guidelines. NFPA requires
two safety shutoff valves piped in series in
the burners main oil line. A low pressure LP
switch must be interlocked with the burner’s
safety shutoff valves. Hauck’s LP manifolds
have been designed to ensure compliance to
NFPA requirements.

WARNING
Adjustment of this equipment and its components by
unqualified personnel can result in fire, explosion,
severe personal injury, or even death.

WARNING
LP is highly flammable and heavier than air. It will
accumulate near the ground in the area of a leak and
it dissipates relatively slowly.

1. Before attaching fuel lines, purge the lines with compressed air. Then, leak test piping with
compressed air.

2. Connect the main LP line at the appropriate connection on the burner skid. All piping must
be Schedule 80 black iron or heavier and all valves must be suitable for 350 psig service.
The capacity of the fuel supply system should be 1-1/2 times the rated capacity of the
burner.

3. If Hauck has supplied the LP pump set for this application, consult the pump installation
instructions for information on this unit.

X4059

Figure 14. LP Piping Arrangement

 Page 23
LNSJ-9

X6190

Figure 15. PLPM Prepiped LP Manifold Detail

CAUTION
Hauck strongly recommends that a Flo-
Control valve and a backpressure regulator
(available from Hauck) be installed in all LP
systems and piped as shown in Figure 16.
All components must be rated for 350 psig
for LP use.

WARNING
Hauck does not recommend installation of a line
reducing regulator in the LP supply line. If the
regulator diaphragm were to rupture, total system
pressure would be applied to the burner and could
result in damage to equipment, including the
baghouse and result in serious injury to
personnel.

4. Close the ball valve upstream of the LP manifold (see Figure 15).
5. Open the shutoff valve on the inlet side of the pump and turn on the LP pump.
6. Start LP flowing to the burner LP manifold.
7. Check all LP lines and connections for leaks, following accepted standards and practices.
8. Open the ball valve upstream of the PLPM manifold and check the manifold for leaks (see
Figure 15). After burner has been ignited and LP is flowing to burner nozzle, check all piping
downstream of the PLPM manifold for leaks.

Figure 16. Schematic to Aid in Adjusting the Constant

Pressure Regulator System.

NOTE
The system above is designed for optimum
performance at ambient air temperatures
above 40°F (5°C). For operation in ambient
temperatures below 40°F, consult Hauck for
recommendations.

WARNING
Frost or icing is an indication of an LP leak.
It is possible for a leak to occur without such
evidence. Although the LP supply is initially
in a liquid state, as it is vaporized it becomes
heavier than air and accumulates near the
ground and dissipates relatively slowly,
becoming highly flammable. Extreme care
should be excercised with LP fuels and
systems.

9. Adjustment of LP supply pressure:

a. Install an amp probe on the LP pump power supply line.

CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum pump motor
nameplate amp load at any time while
making adjustments.

b. Close the ball valve between the backpressure regulator and the tank to
temporarily take the regulator out of the system (see Figure 16).

LNSJ-9

c. Adjust the flow control valve to the following initial settings:

100% Commercial Propane 235 psig
50/50 Propane/Butane 170 psig
100% Butane 95 psig

NOTE
If pump motor nameplate amperage is
exceeded, reduce pressure in Step 7c
to below nameplate amps.

d. Reopen the valve closed in Step c.

e. Adjust the backpressure regulator to the following initial settings:

100% Commercial Propane 210 psig

50/50 Propane/Butane 145 psig
100% Butane 70 psig

NOTES
If motor amperage in Step 7c exceeded
motor nameplate amps, set backpressure
regulator at 25 psig less than the flow control
valve setting.

These settings are initial settings only.

Settings are based on 60°F fuel temperature
plus normal pump pressure (pump
differencial pressure = 100 psig).

Settings will have to be readjusted for

changes in temperature and operation. The
pump bypass valve should always be set
approximately 25 psig above the back-
pressure regulator to insure pump protection.

10. Be sure the metering valve is in the low fire position. This valve is factory set to travel
approximately 90 degrees starting at position 1 to position 10. These positions can be
modified to adjust to a higher or lower firing rate. If adjusting high fire, low fire must be
reset.

11. Read and record valve settings and flow rates using the in-line flow meter (gal/min LP liquid)
provided with the burner.

12. Check rotation of the combustion blower. The impeller should rotate toward the blower
discharge.

13. Inspect and operate the plant exhaust damper control. The exhaust damper should be
capable of maintaining a consistent negative pressure at the drum front bulkhead of
negative 0.2 "wc to negative 0.5 "wc from low to high firing rates for most applications.

14. Burner flame spin vanes adjustment can be set at 0 to 60 degrees; 0 degrees narrows the
flame, 60 degrees widens the flame, and 30 degrees is a nominal starting point.

15. Burner air adjustments: (see Section C - Operation)

16. Install a gas sampling probe in the dryer drum rear (see Application Sheet GJ73).

17. Connect a flue gas analyzer to the gas sampling probe (see Application Sheet GJ73). Flue
gas readings should be taken at operating tonnage.

NOTE
Different nozzles are required when burning
liquid propane, butane, or a mixture of
propane butane. Consult Hauck for your
specific fuel nozzle requirements.

WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPOSITION THE
LP NOZZLE WHILE THE BURNER IS
FIRING.

Considerable pressure exists under firing

conditions. Attempting to adjust the LP
nozzle while the burner is firing may result in
equipment damage or injury to personnel.

Figure 17. LP Nozzle Adjustment

To change the LP atomizer position:

1. Shut the LP valve upstream of the shutoff solenoids.

2. Disconnect the Burner Atomizer Assembly from the LP manifold, using the union located
downstream of the flexible hose.

3. Note the present orientation of the atomizer while assembled in the burner. Determine if
the atomizer must be retracted into the primary tube or extended out of it (see Figure 17).

4. Remove the four bolts securing the backplate to the burner.

5. Loosen the jam nut on the backplate of the Burner Atomizer Assembly.

6. Rotate the backplate to effect the required retraction or extension of the atomizer. One full
rotation of the backplate will move the atomizer approximately 0.1".

7. Once the proper positioning of the atomizer is completed:

a. Tighten the jam nut.
b. Attach the Burner Atomizer Assembly to the LP manifold, using the union provided.
c. Open the LP valve upstream of the safety shutoff valves.

Q. FLAME SHAPE ADJUSTMENTS
There are two devices on the burner which can effect the flame shape: the Spin Vane
Adjustment Ring and the Secondary Air Sleeve. The Spin Vane Adjustment Ring is the
principle means of adjusting flame shape.

The Spin Vane Adjustment Ring uniformly adjusts the angle of 16 secondary air spin vanes
which impart spin to the secondary air stream as it leaves the burner. These vanes, when set at
an angle, increase the air/fuel mixing rate and produce a shorter, bushier flame. The effect can
be minor or severe, depending on the angle setting of the vanes. The greater the angle (adjust-
able from 0 - 60 degrees), the shorter and bushier the flame. The amount of secondary spin is
read on the Spin Vane Indicator, mounted on the Spin Vane Setting Indicator Plate. In some
applications, high spin may cause overheating of the drum front bulkhead and combustion zone
flights. In such cases, reduce the spin angle as necessary until such condition is eliminated.

Spin Vane Adjustment:

1. Shut down the burner system.

2. Loosen the locking bolt and using the Spin Vane Adjusting Lever, rotate the ring until the
Spin Vane Indicator reads 30 degrees.

3. Tighten the locking bolt.

Burners Equipped With Secondary Air Sleeve:

The Secondary Air Sleeve prevents the free expansion of the secondary air as it leaves the
secondary air tube. This concentrates the secondary air, which improves the atomization of fuel
oil. The farther the sleeve is extended, the narrower the flame becomes. Typically, the sleeve
should not be extended more than 3/4". The optimal sleeve position is dependent on the
specific fuel used and is more critical with heavy oil. If the sleeve is not extended far enough,
the oil may not be atomized fully and cause a dark flame. On heavy oil, if the sleeve is extended
too far, the atomized oil spray will impinge and deposit on the sleeve. Nominal sleeve extension
is 3/4".

WARNING
The HIGH VELOCITY secondary air sleeve is for use with:

OIL FIRING MODEL LNSJ360 - 980

GAS FIRING NOT USED WITH GAS
FIRING ON ANY BURNER
MODEL

If your application requires a HIGH VELOCITY SLEEVE for

oil firing, be sure to remove the HIGH VELOCITY SLEEVE
for natural gas firing. If you are unsure which model
sleeve is installed on your burner, consult Hauck.
 Page 32
LNSJ-9
Secondary Air Sleeve Adjustment:
1. Shut down the burner system.
2. Allow the burner to cool to the touch.
3. In the front of the burner is a slot (see Figure 18) to adjust the sleeve:
a. Loosen the Sleeve Locking Bolt.
b. Relocate the sleeve to the desired extension distance (Nominal sleeve extension
is 3/4").
c. Do not exceed 1-1/4" in extension. The extension distance is the distance the
sleeve is extending out the end of the burner secondary air tube (see Figure 18).
d. Tighten the Sleeve Locking Bolt.

R. FLAME HOLDER CONE ADJUSTMENT

The Flame Holder Cone assists in the stabilization of the Long Nose StarJet's flame. Normally,
the cone should be positioned so that it is completely retracted (as far towards the burner as
possible). The cone should also be set square with the burner. To adjust the position of the
Flame Holder Cone:

1. Loosen the four Flame Holder Locking Bolts.

2. Position the Flame Holder Cone. Normal position is fully retracted in the adjustment range.
Standing in front of the burner, push the cone back towards the burner as far as the
adjustment slots allow.
 Page 33
LNSJ-9
3. Place a straight edge horizontally across the Flame Holder Cone.

4. Measure the distance from the straight edge to the front of the burner on both the left and
right

sides. Adjust the cone to get the same measurement on both sides.

5. Tighten the Flame Holder Locking Bolt on both the left and right sides.

6. Place the straight edge vertically on the Flame Holder Cone.

7. Adjust the cone to get the same measurement on both the top and bottom.

8. Tighten the Flame Holder Locking Bolt on the top and bottom.

S. MAINTENANCE
The Hauck Long Nose StarJet Burner has minimal internal moving parts and is, therefore,
relatively maintenance free. Periodically check the butterfly air valve built into the air tube, the
control valves, and their associated linkage for proper operation. Lubricate all points of
movement on the linkage and valve assemblies.

There are grease fittings located on the secondary air damper bearings, which should be
checked and lubricated once a month.

Check and clean UV flame scanner lenses as conditions dictate.

Burners Fired On Oil:

Twice a year, more often in very dusty conditions, remove and clean the burner oil tube and
nozzle assembly as described below:

1. Shut off the oil flow to the burner.

2. Note the relative location of the nozzle with respect to the primary air tube.

3. Remove the bolts which secure the burner back plate to the burner body.

4. Remove the burner back plate with its attached fuel tube and nozzle.

5. Disassemble the nozzle. Clean all of the components of oil and other foreign material that
may be plugging the nozzle holes. If used with heavy oil, remove the nozzle and soak it in a
suitable solvent to loosen the oil deposits. Scrape the nozzle body and holes (if necessary),
USING WOODEN TOOLS ONLY, being careful not to damage machined parts.

6. Reassemble the nozzle assembly and torque the center bolt to 30 inch-lbs.

7. Reattach nozzle to primary air tube.

8. Reattach the burner back plate to the burner body.

LNSJ-9
Periodically, check and clean the air openings around the burner front.

To prevent vibration and misalignment, check periodically to make sure that the Secondary Air
Sleeve Locking Bolt, Spin Vane Adjusting Ring Locking Bolt, and Flame Holder Cone Locking
Bolts are tight.
