Hot Rod Flare Pilot

Category: Flare Pilots

A unique self-aspirated flare pilot dedicated for flares with Stackmatch Flare Ignition, Inc. patented “Micro Flame Front Ignition“ and “Plasma Resonance Flame Detection“. The “Hot Rod“ flare pilot also provides a cost effective , safe reliable system. Stackmatch Flare Ignition, Inc. has designed a state of the art flare pilot that has proven effective in the most adverse conditions for flares.

Description

The “Hot Rod“ flare pilot has a patented “Inverted Nozzle“ that allows for extreme efficiency. The unique “Inverted Nozzle“ arrangement with a top and bottom diversion plate was designed to allow the spent nozzle gas to continuously clean the pilot nozzle, also protecting the nozzle cavity from contamination, should liquids or solids, be expelled from the flare. With the diversion plates strategically located, any gas escaping from the flare is forced to circulate between these plates. This circulating function allows for proper flare gas ignition even when the flare exit gas velocity is very slow or at a critical velocity. The internal nozzle cavity is engineered to provide a firmly rooted and highly protected flame configuration. Thus allowing proven pilot flame stability even when subjected to the most extreme weather elements.

The “Hot Rod“ flare pilots “Inverted Nozzle“ can be configured to meet your demands. The bottom diversion plate of the “Inverted Nozzle“ can act as a manifold which can output 2 or 3 separate by-pass jets fueled by a separate gas source. These by-pass jets can also be configured for a single entry tied together gas source.

  • Minimal maintenance down time
  • Easier installation and safer for the operator than ever before

Our Patented Technologies

Flame Detection

Plasma Resonance is a Stackmatch Patented method of flame detection specifically designed for instantaneous pilot flame recognition and when unavoidable, to fail in the fail safe condition.

Micro Flame Front Ignition

Stackmatch Pilots operate with our patented Micro Flame Front Ignition technology that is built with an ignition tube located inside the pilot body. This tube is allowed to fill with the same volatile fuel normally processed through the pilot body.

Cool Tip

With top and bottom diversion plates, it’s designed to allow the spent nozzle gas to continuously clean the pilot nozzle. As the spent gas escapes to atmosphere, this downward jetting action further protects the nozzle cavity from contamination.
