Overview
The glass torch technology(GTT)Phantom is a 2 stage triple mix surface mix torch. Mainly for the use in glass blowing.
description
The phantom is a torch consisting of the lynx center fire system and an outer ring of port. The manifold splits the gases coming into the torch into inner chambers and then through tubes to the surface. where the gases mix. This creates a very quiet and soft flame. The mixing of gases on the surface makes it surface mix as unlike internal mix (premix). The chambers are built in such a way as to allow control of the inner fire and outer fire independently. there are 3 knobs on the manifold for each stage. Red is fuel(propane),Green is main/outer oxygen, Blue is the center oxygen injector control valve.
Cooling
The torch is designed so that it does not need cooling fins or water cooling. This is done by the Green oxygen being open running this cools the torch. The blue valve when cracked will cool the injector and move the flame from the tip this will prevent most if not all carbon build up.
Triple mix
A patented system from GTT that has a center injector of oxygen. this mixed with how the ports built on the Outer oxygen port. create a very hot flame. with alot of control and variation in flame character and atmosphere.
Tips
Always keep your inner oxygen cracked (blue knob)
Routine mantiance should be done monthly using a nichrome wire and a small wire brush. it should be done more often if you fume.
