The position of the combustion head affects air velocity, mixing, and flame shape. Therefore, for many burners, it is a key commissioning parameter.

Lower output

The position must ensure a stable flame and proper mixing without excessive air velocity.

Higher output

The head must allow for sufficient air supply and appropriate flame length for the combustion chamber.

Incorrect position

This can cause high CO, noise, pulsations, or flame contact with the chamber surfaces.

Best practice

The position is determined by the manufacturer's diagrams and instructions and is verified with actual combustion measurements.
