NP-LE AIRFLO®

Series NP-LE AIRFLO® burners are designed for direct heating of fresh, clean air for low and medium temperature air heating applications

Overview
The MAXON NP-LE EMISSIONS AIRFLO® Natural Gas Burner is designed for direct-fired make-up air and process applications. This industrial burner provides improved emissions performance over other gas burners with significantly lower levels of CO and NO2. Higher capacities of up to 1,000,000 Btu/hr/ft (300 kW/ft) make NP-LE a more economical solution for your application. The NP-LE Series easily meets ANSI/CSA/CE direct fired industrial heating standards and is available in low pressure versions and in corrosion-proof materials

Features & Benefits:
  • Designed for direct-fired make-up air and process applications
  • Improved emissions performance over MAXON’s standard “NP” AIRFLO® Burner, with significantly lower levels of CO and NO2
  • High capacity - up to 1,000,000 Btu/h/ft
  • Short flame length
  • Available in low pressure version and corrosion resistant materials
