ARGS series electric pilot

The AR/GS uses a compressed air supply to ensure the pilot stays lit, even when the furnace operating pressure fluctuates unpredictably.

Robust ignition with reliable performance.

As the world leader in combustion solutions, Zeeco understands that reliability, durability, and safety are essential for profitable plant operations. The ZEECO® AR/GS High Energy Ignition (HEI) System is superior to traditional systems in that it will operate under the most adverse process conditions to eliminate expensive downtime. Our high energy capacitive discharge technology provides robust ignition with dependable performance, and is the same technology used by the aerospace industry to ignite jet aircraft engines.

Zeeco’s AR/GS HEI System can be installed in new or existing applications and is available in multiple sizes up to 2 MMBtu/hr. Our high energy spark tip is suitable for vessel operating pressures up to 90 psig and can be used in both oxidizing and reducing service. A design-specific flammability chart is supplied with each pilot to ensure field personnel set the appropriate fuel gas and compressed air ratios for consistent and dependable pilot light-off. Available stainless steel construction minimizes corrosion and costly repairs due to chemical attack. Every AR/GS Ignition System includes integral gauges to monitor fuel gas and compressed air pressures to ensure accurate measurement and reliable ignition. An optional pneumatic retraction system is also available.
