Carlisle Optimizer

Premixing air and gas maximizes the molecular ratio for more complete combustion than purely surface mixed burners. More complete combustion helps reduce the “burn-out” or “muting” of more exotic colors. Maximizing the combustion mix reduces both gas and oxygen consumption. By combining the Gas Optimizer with the new Carlisle Artistic Tip (CAT) Surface Mixed Centerfire, working with exotic glass has dramatically improved. By premixing the gas, the optimizer decreases the BTU capacity per cubic foot of a specific fuel. In order to produce the same amount of heat, a greater volume of gases must be passed through the burner. As flows are increased, the resulting gases travel faster. Keeping the gas velocity high results in significantly less heat transfer back into the burner allowing the burner to run much cooler. Using compressed air as an accelerant, lower pressures ofboth gas and oxygen can be realized.
