The Q-87 is a self-contained Class 1 oil igniter used for burner ignition,
stabilization or boiler warmup. It is available in capacities ranging from 8 to 30
MBTU/hr. The Q-87 igniter, with its 4” diameter guide tube, is suitable for both
new and retrofit applications in a wide variety of burner designs. The Q-87 igniter
is designed for air, steam or mechanical atomized applications.
The Q-87 consists of a guide tube assembly, fuel gun and High Energy Spark
Igniter (HESI). The guide tube assembly contains the working parts of the igniter
and houses the oil gun and HESI rod. A stainless steel diffuser is attached to the
tip of the oil gun guide tube to assist in providing a stable flame. The oil gun has
a retraction assembly that moves the gun into firing position and back into the
guide tube when it is not in service. The guide tube transports cooling air from a
low pressure air source to the igniter tip, keeping the oil gun tip and diffuser cool,
as well as foreign material away from the tip.
A factory mounted NEMA-4 junction box with all on-board electrical devices
prewired to terminals is a standard feature which reduces installation time.
A 12-joule HESI provides the ignition source for the fuel. The HESI features
nonfouling surface gap spark plug that is easily replaced for maintenance by a
threaded connection between the HESI tip and the HESI rod.
As an option, a mount tube can be provided to support the igniter. The mount
tube is typically welded to the burner front plate, and the igniter guide tube slides
into the mount tube and is secured in place by a split clamping ring and packing
gland assembly.
