2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PellasX is a brand under which since 2001 burners for biomass have been produced. These
products are characterized with stepless regulation of settings allowing for usage in all types
of ovens or heating boilers. In case when exchange of burner is done in an old boiler, then
it is not necessary to make changes in existing installation. Firing up, sustaining fire after
reaching preset temperature and feeding fuel is automatic.

The uniqueness of the REVO solution is the number of the design improvements used as compared
to the burners available previously with the rotary combustion chamber. This makes the operation
of PellasX REVO burners reliable and free of technical problems. Significant changes in the
technological parameters and the components used have been introduced which makes the
economic attractiveness and the environmental usability of the technology considerably better with
the burner being one of the most modern solutions in the world. The rotary combustion chamber
allows the automatic and constant removal of ash being the residue of the combustion process to
ensure high stability of the combustion itself. With such a solution not just the pellets, but also oat*
or fruit stones are high-efficiency fuels. The chamber structure ensures higher durability of the
bearings and facilitates the quick bearings replacement.

The unique solutions employed in the REVO line burners include:


• Hybrid Drive System. Fuel and air are supplied in a synchronized manner i.e. the fuel is supplied
according to the air supply rate and vice versa;
• Air Vane System ensures precise supply of air into the combustion chamber to improve the
chamber durability.
• Floating Pipe System- eliminates jams, seizures or locking caused by thermal stresses.
• Overpressure Combustion System. Air is supplied into the combustion chamber at the central
point to increase the flame spin and reduce the backfire.
• Wide range Lambda probe available for all units to improve the combustion process and reduce
the fuel consumption.

PellasX burners are used in households, bakeries, hotels, public utilities, schools and production
halls or warehouses. They are made of acid-proof steel and they are equipped in best quality parts
available on the market. The product which you have at your disposal is the highest quality,
most technologically advanced burner available on the market.

*Oat combustion reduces burner’s maximum power, yield in increasing fuel consumption (up to
50% more) and creates large amounts of ash.

2.1. Construction of burner

REVO line burners are divided into 2 groups:


1. REVO Mini and REVO Mini35 models
2. REVO 44 to REVO 150 models

The burner is composed of the following subassemblies:

• Combustion chamber including: furnace (1) made of the highest quality steel heat-resisting
steel and a covering pipe (2),

• Burner’s cover – made by stainless steel;

• Blowing assembly- located under the cover, it consists: fan, gear-motor driving the fuel-
feeding "finger", gear-motor driving the gears of the rotary chamber and a multi-coupler (4)
where the controller plug is to be connected.

• Blowing system- is located underneath the cover and it is a connector between the blowing
assembly and the combustion chamber. The upper part of the chamber houses the feeding
pipe and a chimney with a barrier (3) where the pipe connecting the burner to the fuel
feeder is attached. The chimney is mounted to the rectangular opening in the upper part of
the burner chamber. A steel barrier with a counterbalance is installed inside the chimney.
The barrier prevents backfire that would result in the fire entering the feeder. It is
important that the counterbalance is not locked.

The cover of burner does not have any protruding nor sharp parts. It does not threat one’s health.
The temperature of burner’s cover during operation should not exceed 60ºC with exception of places
of raised temperature, i.e. bakery.

ATTENTION!
The producer reserves the only right
to implement from any changes in
construction of burner and feeder,
its software and wiring, otherwise he is
freed responsibilities to the buyer.

2.5. Safety systems of burner

PellasX burner is equipped with following safety systems, which effectively protect the user
against backburning:

1. Burner temperature sensor


The sensor, once it detects temperature over 90OC (setting: alarm temperatures may
be modified depending on the conditions in which the device operates i.e. bakery
ovens or dryers; please note that such changes can only be done by an authorized
service person) goes from work mode into burning off mode, at the same time it
switches off the external feeder and sets the fan for 100% power.

2. Technology of burning in overpressure


Burning in overpressure is founded on physical phenomenon which takes place in inner feeder
of burner.

3. Chimney for pouring fuel


In upper part of the burner there is a chimney for pouring fuel. It is equipped with a barring
hatch with a counterweight. In case of backfire the hatch closes inlet and also prevents
fire against reaching the fuel hopper.

4. Flexible pouring pipe


Flexible pouring pipe is an elastic connection between external feeder and burner. Its main
function is delivering fuel to burner, additionally it also protects against backfiring. Under
influence of high temperature pipe starts to deform and extend which makes fuel delivering
impossible.

Safety systems control- see chapter 6.2: Specification of the inspection intervals

3. INSTALLATION

3.1. Chimney

The parameters of chimney should be adjusted to requirements of heating device, of which


fumes are led away to chimney. The chimney can be made of ceramics or steel. Chimney
should be clean, and its draft sufficient for PellasX burner operating with heating device in
scope of preset power output. In case when chimney draft is not sufficient, it is possible to
install a mechanical fumes exhaust. Before operation chimney should be checked and approved by
a qualified chimney-sweeper.

It should be remembered that a high chimney with big capacity of fumes needs more heat
and temperature of inner part of it should not be lower than 80ºC, 1m below the top to avoid
condensation on top of the chimney. To reduce the inner profile of the chimney, a steel pipe with
proper diameter can be installed. All advice referring to chimney duct should be taken from
a professional company. Strong wind, too high or too low chimney have influence on efficiency
of burner and its settings. In such cases it is advised to install a stabilizer of chimney draft
which will ventilate chimney and help in maintaining stable draft. If chimney is too small, then
burner may not work correctly, in such case it is necessary to install a mechanical fumes exhaust.

3.2. Boiler / oven

PellasX burner can be installed in majority of boilers. The power of burner in relation to boiler or
oven power must be adjusted by installer. It is the best to mount the burner in boiler’s door,
just above grate or in side wall if it is possible. The diameters of mounting holes of PellasX burner
are given in table 3. The length of pipe in boiler is regulated by installer with usage of a connector
– mounting flange – similar as in oil boilers or directly into door of boiler with 4 M8 screws.
Thanks to connector it is possible to regulate length of furnace pipe of burner in boiler. If
boiler chamber is too small, burner may operate incorrectly.

3.3. Fuel hopper

Fuel hopper can be made of any non-flammable material, i.e. steel. It can have any
capacity and should be located in proper distance from burner (Pic.7). In lower part of fuel
hopper a spiral feeder in covering pipe is mounted. The slope of feeder should not be
bigger than 45° in relation to the floor. Fuel hopper must be covered with a lid which
would protect rotating screw of the feeder against damage by leftovers.
It is forbidden to manipulate on the bottom of the hopper during operation of feeder. It is a threat
to body injury – particularly to fingers. It must be remembered to refill the fuel hopper
with pellets type fuel before activating the burner. Never pour the fuel hopper with damp or
disintegrating fuel. It can cause difficulties in operation of burner – burner blockade.

3.4. External feeder

Pic.5. Feeder’s construction.

Fuel feeder connects fuel hopper with burner. It is made of steel pipes, galvanized or
stainless steel with diameter 60mm or 76mm and 2m or 3m long (it is related to the size of burner).
There is a steel spiral inside the pipe driven by electrical engine 230V AC with gearbox. The motor
is connected using the power suitable socket located on the burner’s controller. The feeder lower
part is mounted in the lower part of the fuel hopper and its upper part is connected to the burner
with the flexible polypropylene pipe.

17 | S t r o n a
Feeder assembly:

1. Connect both pipes (1) and (2) with the bolt M8 (3) and nut M8 (4);
2. Insert the pin (6) in the shaft hole (8), and then screw the spiral (5) onto the pin (6)
and tighten with the nut (7);
3. Put the feeder’s cap (10) onto the motor pin (9);
4. Slide the shaft (8), including the mounted spiral, onto the motor pin (9) and secure with
the set screw (11);
5. Slide the spiral into the pipe inside so that it terminates at the half of the inlet hole
(figure below) and screw the motor (9) to the pipe flange with the bolts (12) and nuts
(13).

Pic.6. Feeder’s auger installation.

Fuel dosing is done automatically. Feeder operation is cyclic and is operated by outer controller.
Feeder should be positioned at maximum 45º angle in relation to the floor. Flexible, antistatic
polyurethane pipe must not be directed vertically above the pouring chimney of burner, but at least
30 cm away from it. In case of pipe overheating (back burning) or its melting, pellet fuel will not be
falling onto burner. Lack of fuel supply will cause burning off. It prevents against spreading fire on
fuel hopper and on the rest of boiler room.

NOTE: Before starting the burner, fill the hopper with pellets and fill the feeder until
pellets will start falling into the burner.

3.5. STB protection

In case when oven or boiler does not have its own STB protection, a thermostat with a capillary
on clips is added to the set. Capillary sensor should be permanently mounted in water coat of the
boiler. After reaching critical (95oC) temperature of boiler, fuel feeder is cut off. In case of restarting
the burner the switcher on cover should be reset, before that the cause of switching off due to
boiler overheating should be checked, assessed and right steps to solve the cause of the problem
should be taken.

3.6. Boiler temperature sensor

Burner is provided together with boiler temperature sensor. Its task is to control firing up and
burning off process in burner. It does not refer to burner version destined for bakery
ovens.

pipe insert onto vertical pipe of chimney for pouring fuel of burner and tighten it with a band.
• Insert lower part of feeder pipe in fuel hopper, remember that hole for
sucking granulate must be directed upwards.

ATTENTION!
Feeder should be positioned at angle
no bigger than 45 O in relation to the floor.

• Fill the hopper with fuel. Approval for fuel should be made available by the seller. Specification
of fuels is shown in Table 1.
• Join feeder with burner by electrical wire providing power to feeder and stick plug into proper
socket on the controller. Remember about zeroing wiring for cover of burner, it can not be
damaged and must be tightly screwed to the cover.
• In case when oven or boiler does not have its own STB protection, a capillary
thermostat with fastener should be added to the set. A capillary sensor should be installed
permanently in water coat of boiler, together with temperature sensor of boiler

4. Connecting the controller

Attach the cover of controller by screws on isolated wall of the boiler or on the wall of
the boiler-room. The wire of a multicoupler should be attached to proper socket on the right
side of burner.

5. ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS AND FIRST START-UP

1. Additional connections of the burner are described in the controller manual.


2. Determination of the supplied pellet capacity
a) Before starting the balancing procedure, make sure that the feeder is filled with
pellets.
b) Put an empty bag (e.g. pellet bag) under the feeder and start the feeder for 15
minutes. The pellet amount collected in the bag must be weighed.
c) The value being the result should be used in the FEEDER EFFICIENCY PARAMETER
since the value is required by the controller during the initial start-up.
d) Enter the maximum operating power of the burner in the next step.
e) The controller will adjust the necessary pellet quantity automatically.

6. EXPLOITATION AND SAFETY REGULATIONS

6.1. Exploitation

ATTENTION!
PellasX burners can only be handled
by adults. It is mandatory to be
acquainted with user’s manual before
servicing the burner.

Before starting up burner’s operation all connections and joints with feeder should be checked.
Mounting screws, which join burner with boiler should be checked, as well as thermal seals between
burner and boiler.
Burner is started up according to user’s manual after connection to electricity by power cord with
zeroed plug. In order to ensure correct operation of burner, depending on quality of fuel, the inside
of burner should be cleaned from fouling and slag.
Depending on a group of burners, there are different ways of conducting the maintenance of furnace
plate:

a) Maintenance of furnace plate in Revo Mini and Revo Mini35 burners


Burners of the Revo Mini group are equipped with a furnace pipe (1) located inside the cover pipe
(2). With the design of the Revo burners they can be used for a long period with no need to
disassembly the furnace by detaching it from the cover pipe. The maintenance is limited to the
removal of deposits from the furnace using a wire brush every month (or after one tone of pellets
is burnt).

ATTENTION!
Maintenance of burner must always
be conducted on cold burner.

6.3. Safety regulations referring to installation and exploitation of burner

Before starting installation and exploitation of burner, the chimney shaft and boiler to which
burner will be connected should be thoroughly cleaned (see page 14). Check if there is enough
liquid in heating installation, and if pouring device works correctly.

• Burner can only be handled by adults who are acquainted with user’s manual.

• Children can not be allowed to be close to the burner.


• It is forbidden to put a hand inside the feeder pipe and burner pouring pipe,
this is a risk of an injury and disability.

• It is forbidden to open boiler’s door during operation of burner.

• Opening the door of the boiler is allowed only after extinguishing the burner and
disconnect of electric power.

25 | S t r o n a
• Burner is designed for burning dry biomass, i.e. “pellets” in boilers operating in central
heating system.

• Obligatorily burner must be electrically zeroed and connected to a socket with zeroing
pin 230V AC.

• Electrical installation must be done accordingly to current safety rules and regulations.
Electrical installation powering a burner must be done in TN-S system and protected by a
RCD – residual current device 6A/30mA. For making an installation a professional
electrician must be responsible.

• Installation of a burner must be executed by an authorized installer trained


by PELLASX sp. z o.o. sp. k. (The Producer) and the Acceptance Report should
be written – which is included in User’s Manual.

• Any sort of works and reparations of a burner or a feeder must be done with
disconnected powering cable from electricity.

• The room in which a burner works must be well and constantly aired.

• Exploitation can not be done in improper environmental conditions, i.e. too high
temperature, above 45ºC, in presence of aggressive compounds, dirt, bad ventilation,
etc.

• Following items must be connected to the boiler: capillary safety sensor STB and boiler
temperature sensor outgoing from a burner.

Failure in observing by the user – owner of a burner the above SAFETY


REGULATIONS releases The Producer – PELLASX sp. z o.o. sp. k. from any responsibility
for improper work of a burner and results in loss of the warranty.

If the user executes the installation of a burner not in accordance with instructions
and recommendations of the producer or when he does not have the „Collection
Report” written during first firing-up of a boiler by authorized installer and confirmed
with the signature of the user, then he or she loses the right to warranty for burner faults.
Also the guarantee is lost then.

7. SERVICE OF DEVICES

ATTENTION!
Servicing of devices can only be
executed by switched off electrical
powering of a burner and a boiler.
.

7.1. Photosensor

Photosensors installed inside the burner should be cleaned from time to time with a soft cloth as it
is done for oil or gas burners. To do that remove the cover by loosening four round head bolts (2)
or three round head bolts (1) in REVO Mini – REVO Mini35 models and REVO 44 to REVO 150
models, respectively. Remove the photosensor from the socket (1), clean and reinstall it. Once the
above operations are completed reinstall the burner cover in the reverse order.

Frequency of cleaning the photosensor:


• Bakeries- once a month
• Boiler rooms – every 3 months

Pic. 12. Position of photosensor in REVO burner.

27 | S t r o n a
7.2. Electrical igniter replacement.

When the igniter does not heat even though the “firing up” message is shown, it is probably
damaged. To replace the igniter, remove the burner cover. On the right side of the fan, there is a
steel sheath, where the electric igniter is located. Disconnect the igniter electric cables from the
terminal block, loosen the bolt mounting the steel sheath case and remove the igniter. Follow the
above procedure in reverse order to mount a new igniter and the burner cover.

7.3. Feeder pipe cleaning

If a string from the pellet bag or other object clogging the feeder operation gets into the feeder
pipe, then the feeder motor will overheat and circuit-breaker will be switched off by the temperature
sensor located in the motor.
In order to remove an object from the feeder pipe, the powering wire should be removed from the
socket inside the controller, unscrew the screws mounting the gear motor to feeder pipe,
remove the spring from the pipe and remove the object which was the cause of breakdown. Then
the feeder should be assembled and checked.

7.4. Burner cleaning

One of the reasons of lack of firing-up of a burner may be a slag filling in the burner chamber. The
igniter will not ignite the fire when there is a slag in its way. Slag does not burn itself.
As we are unsure as to the quality of fuel, that is why initially every day, later every now and then
we clean furnace pipe of a burner from slag and ash. After removing a burner, the remnants
of slag and ash should be cleaned with a wire-brush or a small poker. Common cause of
accumulating a slag is switching off a burner with the main switch. Too abrupt removal of air-
flow (oxygene) to the furnace causes unburning of fuel remnants. By another firing up of a
burner, without cleaning it from slag and ash, a smoke can come out from a burner as the
openings in it are blocked with slag. Burner is not aired enough. Therefore: Before switching
off the power of a burner, burning off process should be conducted.

In case of serious breakdowns an installer should be contacted.

28 | P a g e
8. REASONS OF IMPROPER OPERATION

Burner does not fire up the fuel:


Reasons:
• No fuel – check the fuel hopper and the feeder, if it is not blocked
• Too small startup dose – check the startup dose
• Burnt igniter – check the igniter
• Defective drive motor - check motor thermistors

Burner fires up but does not go into the first power


Reasons:
• Improper start-up dose – check the start-up dose
• Dirty or faulty photosensor – clean it or replace it
• Damaged outer thermostat in oil boilers or bakery ovens

Photosensor checking
See page 27.
Measuring readings:
• In darkness 0-5 units
• In full light 100 units

Overheating of inner feeder.


Reasons:
• Burner dirty with slag
• Weak chimney draft – chimney exhaust fan should be used

Damage of the feeder sensor– alarm can not be cancelled


Reasons:
• The most common reason of this breakdown is damage of thermo protection of a sensor,
which results in overheating of measuring part. Despite burner cooling off, the fault can not
be cancelled, in this case the measuring sensor should be replaced. In order to verify
if the sensor is faulty indeed, its resistance should be checked, it should be between 1-5 Ω.
The resistance of a damaged sensor is about 100 kΩ.

Feeder filling
The inner feeder is designed to mix and feed fuel evenly. The reason of filling the inner
feeder can be:
• Bad setting of the inner feeder in relation to outer feeder – increase capacity of inner feeder
(service menu/ burner feeder)
• Gearmotor damage – replace the gearmotor
• Badly adjusted interval of feeder work – this value should not exceed 20s. (service menu /
burner interval)

Blower damage
Reasons:
• Blockade of blower blades – unscrew the blower cover and check if they are not blocked
mechanically
• Check the voltage on blower wires
• Check the capacitor of blower motor
