functions properly with burner at minimum delivery,
increase the regulating valve until it reaches intervention
point and the burner should go to shut down. To unblock the burner, press the special pushbutton and return
the pressure switch regulator to a sufficient value in order to measure the air pressure existing during the
pre-ventilation phase.
8)
The pressure switches which control the gas pressure
(minimum and maximum) have the job of stopping the burner functioning when the gas pressure is not within
the values specified. From the specific functions of the pressure switches, it is evident that the pressure
switch which controls the minimum pressure must make use of the contact, which is closed, when it mea
-
sures a pressure which exceeds that at which it has been set. The maximum pressure switch must make
use of the contact, which is closed, when it measures a pressure below that at which is has been set.
The minimum and maximum gas pressure switches should be regulated during the burner’s general inspection
and should be in function with the pressure found each time. The pressure switches have been electrically
connected in series and therefore the intervention (by this mean the opening of the circuit) of any one of the
gas pressure switches, will prevent the control box and thus the burner from starting up. When the burner
is operating (flame lit), the intervention of the gas pressure switches (opening of the circuit) determines the
immediate arrest of the burner. During the burner’s general inspection, check the correct functioning of the
pressure switches. By operating the respective regulating device, it is possible to control the pressure switch’s
intervention (opening of circuit) which causes the burner’s arrest.
19) Check that the flame detector works by removing the UV photocell from its seat on the burner and
making sure LOCK-OUT shutdown occurs.
20) Check the efficiency of the boiler thermostats and pressure switches (this should result in the burner to a
standstill).
AIR REGULATION ON THE COMBUSTION HEAD
(See BT 8769/2)
The combustion head is equipped with a regulating device which closes (by moving forwards) and opens (by
moving backwards) the air passage between the disk and the head. By closing the passage it is possible to
achieve high pressure upstream the disk for low inputs as well. High velocity and air turbulence ensure a bet
-
ter penetration in the fuel, an optimum mixture and good flame stability. It might be necessary to have high air
pressure upstream the disk in order to avoid flame pulsations and it is considered practically indispensable when
the burner is operating with a pressurized furnace and/or high thermal load. It is evident from the above, that
the device which closes the air on the combustion head should be put in such a position as to always
obtain a
decidedly high air pressure value behind the disk. It is advisable to regulate in such a way as to achieve a closing
of the air on the head; this will necessitate a considerable opening of the air shutter which regulates the flow
to the burner’s fan suction. Obviously, these adjustments should be carried out when the burner is operating at
maximum delivery described. In practice, start regulating by putting the device which closes the air on the combu
-
stion head in an intermediate position, start up the burner and make trial adjustments as previously described.
When maximum delivery desired has been reached, proceed with correcting the position of the device which closes
the air on the combustion head; move it backwards or forwards in such a way as to obtain an air flow suitable to
the delivery, with the air regulation shutter in suction considerably open. When reducing the air passage on the
combustion head, avoid closing it completely. Proceed with perfect centering with respect to the disk.
It must
be pointed out that, if perfect centering with respect to the disk is not obtained, bad combustion and excessive
heating of the head could occur which would result in its rapid deterioration. A control can be carried out by looking
through the spy hole situated at the back of the burner; then tighten home the screws that lock the position of the
air regulation device on the combustion head.
Note:
Check that ignition occurs regularly, because when the device has been moved forwards, it could occur that
the air velocity in exit is so high as to render ignition difficult. If this happens, move it backwards, gradually,
until it reaches the correct position and ignition occurs regularly. This position should be definitive. It should
be kept in mind that it is preferable, for the first flame, to limit the amount of air to that strictly necessary in
order to ensure safe ignition even in difficult circumstances.
