Description
The Titan Controls Ares Series Replacement Burners help growers maintain CO₂ generators in tip-top shape. They work for both liquid propane (LP) and natural gas (NG) models and ensure that the generator produces a constant CO₂ stream. These burners are sturdy, easy to fit and work exactly the same as the original.
Compatibility
Here is information about which generators and parts work with the replacement burners.
- The units work with the 4, 8, and 10-burner Ares CO₂ Generators. They drop in and make use of the identical mounting holes and wiring as the originals.
- Every burner includes the appropriate fittings to connect to the pressure regulator and fuel hose. No extra adapters are needed.
- Any authorized marketplace, including Growcycle has these burners. Growers can order online or find them in local stores.
Installation Guide
A brief glance reveals how easy it is to replace a burner. A couple of safety precautions in the beginning can prevent mishaps.
Safety First
Turn off the gas supply.
Unplug the generator.
Allow any residual gas to dissipate in a well-ventilated area.
Step-by-Step Replacement
- Unbolt and disconnect the fuel line.
- Inspect the hose, regulator and fittings. Replace any that are worn or damaged.
- Position the burner over the holes and then secure the mounting bolts.
- Fit the hose onto the new burner, ensuring it is a tight fit.
- Turn on the gas and electricity and look for a steady blue flame, no flicker.
Most growers can get this done in less than 15 minutes.
Benefits of Genuine Burners
The advantages of authorized replacement burners for any growing operation are obvious.
- Steady CO₂ Supply: They maintain the generator in operation at its set point, so plants are gassed with the correct amount of CO₂ at all times.
- Lower Fuel Costs: With the right nozzle size, these burners are very efficient and use substantially less fuel over time (LP or NG).
- Protects the Generator: A burnt burner can strain the ignition system. New burners help prevent larger repairs down the line.
Maintenance Tips
Regular maintenance will keep the burners working efficiently and extend their life.
Monthly Inspections
Growers should check the flame every month. If the tip of the flame is yellow or the flame is uneven, it’s time to clean or replace the burner.
Cleaning the Burner
Blow dust and carbon out of the passages with compressed air. Do not use chemicals that are too abrasive and may ruin the metal.
Off-Season Storage
If the generator will not be running for an extended period of time, remove the burner. Clean it, and then store it in a dry, dust-free spot.
Safety Considerations
Both individuals and equipment are protected when operating in a safe manner.
Leak Checks
After installation, apply soapy water to the hose and fittings. Bubbles mean a leak so tighten connections until the leak stops.
Ventilation
Reduced air movement just leads to gas buildup. Set up a CO₂ monitor to monitor the levels inside the grow room.
Local Rules
For gas, some places demand a licensed technician. Check with the local authorities for zoning, code or permit laws related to commercial growing.
Conclusion
Replacing a worn burner with a Titan Controls Ares Series LP or NG replacement burner is quick and straightforward. Growers get consistent CO₂ production, lower fuel bills and a longer lasting generator. With some basic, common-sense safety precautions and periodic maintenance, growers can keep their CO₂ enrichment equipment in operation all year long.
