SECTION 4: OPERATING & MAINTAINING
THE AIR COMPRESSOR
Adjusting the Air Compressor During Operation
It is very important to adjust the pressure relief on the air
compressor to provide the burner with the precise air
pressure (12 to 18 psi) required for proper burner opera-
tion. Excess air pressure is bled off through the pressure
relief.
ATTENTION:
DO NOT run the air compressor with the
air regulator installed (see section 3 - Preparing the Burner
For Operation With the Air Compressor). This may cause
the compressor to overheat and severely damage the teflon
rings and teflon skirt in the air compressor, resulting in poor
air pressure output from the compressor.
1.
Refer to your heating equipment's
Operator's
Manual, Section 6 "Burner Start Up and
Adjustment".
Note the proper air pressure
setting. (e.g. CB-2500 furnace requires an air
pressure setting of 12 - 18 psi.)
2.
Follow the directions in Section 6 of your heating
equipment'sOperator's Manual to start the burner.
3.
Loosen the locking nut and slowly back out the
adjustment on the pressure relief valve on the air
compressor to supply proper air pressure to the
burner.
NOTE: The air gauge on the burner may
"bounce" slightly when compressed air is being
supplied by a piston air compressor.
4.
Firmly tighten the lock-down nut on the
pressure relief.
5.
Be sure to install the sound dampening assembly
over the pressure relief. This will "muffle" the
sound of the air pressure escaping through the
pressure relief.
