Installation

 CAUTION

 We recommend that lifting gear be used for instal-

lation due to the weight involved.
Please observe the following to ensure that the 
ECOMAX

®

 is not damaged during installation and 

operation:

 

Dropping the device can cause permanent dam-
age. In this event, replace the entire device and 
associated modules before use.

 

With the ECOMAX

®

 0 to 3C, to prevent transport 

damage, the ceramic air guide tube LFR is sup-
plied separately or is fitted with extra transport 
protection. See enclosed documentation.

Installation on the furnace

 

The burner has three air connections and one flue 

gas connection. During installation, the burner 
must be aligned appropriately (flue gas upwards 
or to the side).

ECOMAX

®

 for direct heating systems

 

For a direct heating system, the flue gas guide 
tube FGT set..D and the eductor EJEK are re-
quired, see page 16 (Accessories).

EJEK

FGT-Set..D

  

 Remove the transport safety device.

 

The installation opening in the furnace wall must 

be greater than the outside diameter of the FGT.

 

Do not stress the FGT with forces from the 
furnace lining. Wrap the FGT in a fibre blanket 
before installing the burner.

 

 Complete the fibre wrapping to match the ap-

erture in the furnace wall. Depending on the fur-
nace lining and the type of expected movements 
in the furnace wall, the annular void must be at 
least 25 mm. Use a larger annular void if neces-
sary. Wrap the cut to size fibre blanket around 
the FGT. Fasten the blanket over its entire length 
using conventional adhesive tape (compress it 
to around 50% of its thickness). After commis-
sioning, the adhesive tape burns off and the fibre 
blanket expands evenly inside the annular void.

 

Slide the FGT over the recuperator if it has not 
yet been installed.

Tighten the nuts in two cycles in a crosswise 

fashion, torque: 46 Nm.

 

When installing, always ensure that when the 

burner is mounted, it is sealed tightly on the 
furnace.

Installing the eductor

 

The eductor is mounted to the side of the burner.

 

Align the eductor’s pressure test point to the 

control side.
