About us
Limpsfield Burners are of an Industrial Forced Draft design, suitable for alternative or simultaneous firing of all types of gaseous fuels and mineral fuel oils, Limpsfield Combustion offers burners for a range of application inputs from 1-110 MMBtu/hr
Manufactured in house industrial/commercial dual and single fuel burners. We offer extensive experience in commissioning and reducing O2 levels in combustion in firetube, watertube and furnace applications. The burner is designed to maximize efficiency and reduce fuel usage and the carbon footprint.
Lower your O2 emissions and increase your efficiency!
Limpsfield Burners are of an industrial forced draught design, suitable for alternative or simultaneous firing of gaseous and mineral fuel oils. The unique forced draught combustion design distributes the combustion air at the burner head so that combustion is maximized at all times ensuring that all fuel is burnt safely whilst maintaining stable combustion and flame geometry throughout the burner firing range, resulting in efficient combustion, excellent reliability and all the time, maximizing safety.
Designed and manufactured to exacting specifications, the Limpsfield Burner line is an exceptional combination of form and function. Every feature, from the powder coated finish to the sealed damper bearings and large viewing port, exemplifies the commitment to quality and performance. With the ability to orient both the fuel and air inlets independently of one another, the application possibilities are virtually unlimited.
In addition to being easy to set up and adjust, the unique forced draft combustion design distributes the combustion air in the burner head so that the necessary static pressure is maintained for stable combustion and flame geometry, throughout the complete burner firing range.
History
Limpsfield Combustion Engineering Limited was registered in February 1995. The company was established in Bromley, South London, in order to produce burners designed for particular applications to customers’ specific requirements.
The burners were designed by South London businessman and more importantly an experienced combustion engineer Brendan Kemp. Brendan then sold the burner design on to the owners of Limpsfield once the burner range had been designed and proven.
Limpsfield moved to its present factory and offices in Biggin Hill, Kent in 2001. At this time, fabrication and precision engineering were added to the company portfolio, this allowed Limpsfield to manufacture their complete burner range without having to outsource, whilst keeping close control of costs and quality.
Limpsfield has increased their burner range and designed burners capable of firing many different fuels, such as natural gas, heavy fuel oil, diesel and light distillate oils as well as many more unusual fuels such as animal fats, fish oils, solvents etc. More recently Limpsfield have produced burners to fire bio gas and landfill gases.
Limpsfield has three departments: fabrication engineering, precision engineering and the burner combustion engineering department. Each department has its own customers from various outside industries as well as producing the various parts and components to make the complete Limpsfield burner range.
Key Dates
In 2005, Keith Knowles joined Limpsfield to promote burner sales and provide technical assistance to its customers. Keith had worked for Brendan Kemp at Autoflame Engineering (a world leading combustion controls manufacturer based in South London) for 17 years previously and had learnt most of his combustion knowledge whilst at Autoflame working alongside Brendan, his wife Sheila and many other employees who are still at Autoflame. This professional and friendly relationship still exists and both Brendan and Sheila have been instrumental in assisting the staff at Limpsfield in improving the business strategies of the present company. Brendan Kemp continues to offer design and production input into the Limpsfield products.
In 2006, Limpsfield opened up an office in the USA managed by Keith Fortner. Keith is a time served combustion engineer and had previous experience working on various burners and boilers in the USA.
In 2007, Limpsfield gained their ISO9001:2001 International Quality Management Certificate.
In 2007, Limpsfield also gained their UL Certificate for the design, build and testing of the complete burner range.
In December 2007, Limpsfield purchased its first Mazak 5 axis machining centre followed by a further identical machine in February 2009, bringing state of the art precision engineering to the combustion world, rivalling standards usually only found in the F1 motor racing and in the aerospace industries.
In 2008, Limpsfield acquired the adjacent premises and moved the fabrication department into these new premises, once they had been prepared to allow for a more streamline flow of work methods. This allowed the precision and fabrication departments to expand.
In 2008, Limpsfield gained their CE BS EN 676 Certificate for the design, build and testing of the burner range.
In 2010, Nick Guy was appointed as the Technical Director.
In 2012, Design and approval of the LP Burner range was completed
In 2012, New premises were secured offering over double the amount of floor space as our current offices. We are scheduled to move into our new offices in the 1st quarter of 2013
