Sizing Guidelines for Boiler Ignitors / Pilots

Sizing Guidelines for Boiler Ignitors / Pilots

(OP)
Are there any guidelines for estabishing the heat release requirements for ignitors or pilots in large boilers? I believe some operators call these startup burners. They can be used to take a boiler through much of the warmup curve and also used to light off the main burners. Is the design heat release based on a percentage of the main burner heat release, type and flowrate of fuel in the main burner, or some other factors. Thanks.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was not aware of the forum you suggested.
