When the burner is used for the first time, the pipeline must be purged with
! nitrogen, and parts that may be damaged during the purging must be removed, in
order to prevent welding slag or foreign objects from clogging the equipment, so
Note that it cannot be used normally.

If the burner fails to be ignited once, it shall be notified to the maintenance


personnel to find out the reason and then ignite again. It is strictly forbidden to
Danger ignite it repeatedly.

Check the following items when burning natural gas:


 Before installation, you should know some basic characteristics of gas first, such as gas
composition, calorific value and gas supply pressure.
 The gas pipe of the burner must be installed in compliance with the requirements of
relevant regulations and guidelines.
 In general, the diameter of the gas supply pipeline should be at least one size larger than
that of the burner valve block, and attention is paid to the correct and installation
sequence and direction of the valve block components arranged firmly.
 The inner wall of the gas pipeline should be purged, cleaned of garbage, and
anti-corrosion treated, such as galvanizing and protective paint. The electropneumatic
valve block should be installed as close to the gas butterfly valve as possible.
 Note: After installation, the pipeline is cleaned with compressed air, and parts that may
be damaged during the cleaning must be removed, to prevent welding slag or other
foreign objects from blocking the solenoid valve.

1.4 Patent technology description

EBICO unique patented technology:


1. The specially designed combustion tube and flame diffusion disc ensure the full
combustion of fuel and reduce CO emissions.
2. Zoned air supply technology, through the zoned air supply, reduces the temperature of
the flame root and the partial pressure of oxygen to reduce the generation of NOx.
3. The graded gas supply technology adopted by the D-type gas nozzle: separate gas
supply from the center and separate gas supply from the gas ring.
4. Flue gas recirculation technology, when the combustion air temperature is very high,
only relying on the air partition and fuel partition is not enough to reduce the nitrogen
oxides generated in the combustion process, and the flue gas recirculation is used for
low oxygen combustion to reduce the production of NOx and CO. . This design reduces
the pollution to the environment and protects the human living environment; at the same
time it saves fuel costs.
The FGR function is used to reduce the Nox value in the flue gas. For the combustion
process, a certain proportion of flue gas is supplied to reduce the flame temperature,
thereby reducing the Nox value. By using FGR to introduce the circulating air volume
into the entire air inlet path, the maximum power of the low-nitrogen burner can be
limited. In other words, the maximum amount of combustion air that can be supplied is
reduced. Therefore, the fuel supply within the rated load range must be reduced in order
to obtain the correct combustion value, so the low nitrogen burner main engine (FGR),
blower and blast air duct must be added to meet the output of the normal boiler. The flue
is reserved on the flue between the economizer and the condenser of the inlet boiler.
The air duct space is designed from the flue on the flue to the air inlet of the blower. The
flue gas circulation valve is installed near the air inlet of the blower of the low nitrogen
burner.
!note The installation position requirements of the flue gas circulation valve: the valve
stem and the flue are installed horizontally or diagonally, and vertical installation is
strictly prohibited to prevent the condensed water from corroding the bottom of the
valve stem.
Circulating flue gas flue should be equipped with expansion joints, water collection devices,
and drainage devices (the bottom of the flue gas pipeline).

3. Installation considerations

1. Power supply requirements:


The power supply is consistent with the power supply specified on the burner nameplate and in
this manual. A short-circuit and overload protection mechanism should be installed in the control
cabinet. If the voltage fluctuates greatly, a regulated power supply must be installed. An
anti-jamming device must be installed when the power supply has interference.
2. Wiring requirements:
The temperature sensor cable, servo motor control and feedback cable, and flame sensor cable
must be shielded cables and cannot be placed in frequency conversion cables or power cables. If
where the wire from the electronic control to the burner passes through a high temperature area, a
high temperature resistant wire must be used.
3. Natural gas requirements:
The natural gas pressure is 300-700 mbar. Please consult your local distributor for specific burner
pressure. Install a filter before entering the burner valve block.

4. Pipeline system

4.1 Installation of gas valve block

The burner valve block is used as the gas supply unit of the burner. Whether it is installed
correctly will directly affect the safe use of the burner, and thus the following requirements shall be
noted when installing this valve block:
 Confirm the gas supply pressure and compare the maximum working pressure of the valve
block components to ensure that the gas supply pressure is not higher than the maximum
working pressure of the valve block components.
 Tighten the bolts on the connecting flange gradually at the opposite angles.
 Ensure that the gaskets between the flanges are clean and installed in place.
 The valve block components should be installed horizontally, and there are multiple supports
fixed to prevent vibration during work.
 It is recommended that the lowest position of the valve block installed is more than 200mm
above the ground.

4.2 Valve block diagram

EBICO burner is equipped with a pneumatic valve block and an automatic leak detection device,
and the valve block diagram is as follows.
The valve block is VGD40 ...

1. Filter 2. Expansion joint 3. Gas power switch


(low pressure)
4. Leak detection pressure switch 5. Combined solenoid valve V2 6. Three-way pipeline
(self-regulated)
7. Inlet elbow A: Natural gas inlet C: Center intake
D: Outer ring intake

Before installation, the dirt on the inner wall of the valve block and pipe fittings should be
removed.
In order to obtain better starting conditions, the distance between the burner and the gas valve
should be as short as possible.
Pay attention to the order and flow direction of the valve block (note the arrow).
The two-stage gas valve and pressure regulating valve should be installed vertically between
horizontally laid pipelines.

8
The valve block must have been supported on many places during installation. An expansion joint
must be arranged between the valve block caliber and the gas source pipeline.
In order to determine whether the gas already exists after the air is discharged, a test combustion
apparatus can be installed in front of the two-stage gas valve.

Tightness test of valve block


To check the air tightness of the valve block, the ball valve and two-stage gas valve must be
closed.
Test phase 1.
Connect the pressure gauge with rubber hose and hand pump with a tee between the two-stage
gas valve and the filter.
In this phase, the measuring point on the two-stage gas valve should be opened.
Test phase 2.
Connect the pressure gauge with hose and hand pump to the measuring point of the two-stage
gas valve.
The test pressure in the valve block should be twice the working pressure, but not lower than
100mbar and not higher than the maximum working pressure of the valve block.
In order to avoid temperature changes affecting the accuracy of the measurement, you should
wait about 5 minutes before starting timing.
If the pressure falls within 1 mbar within 5 minutes after starting timing, the valve block has good
air tightness.
In case of leakage found, it must be sealed by brushing with concentrated soap, and the test
process shall be repeated.

Functional flow inspection


The ball valve must be closed during this inspection.
1. Make sure that all components are electrically properly connected.
2. In order to carry out the leak detection process, it is necessary to pump air into the valve block
pipeline by hand pump to adapt the pressure to the future working pressure.
3. Turn on the power supply and the burner switch. At this time, the leak detection device starts
leak detection. Observe whether the process of opening and closing V1 and V2 in the two-stage
gas valve is correct (the indicator light on the two-stage gas valve indicates on-off situation).
4. After about 60 seconds, the leak detection ends and the burner fan starts.
5. The servo motor opens the damper, and the entire pre-purging time is about 30 seconds.
6. The servo motor closes the damper to the ignition position, the ignition electrode ignites, and
the two-stage gas valve is open.
7. Due to the pressure drop in the valve block pipeline, the gas pressure switch shuts down the
burner and the two-stage gas valve is closed. Check whether the burner is working according to
the above process and whether the gas pressure switch can operate correctly; if there is a fault
during operation, refer to the function flow of the program controller and other further instructions.

Discharge air
Before starting the burner for commissioning, the air in the valve block must be discharged.
Connect a hose onto the test port of the two-stage gas valve that leads air to the outdoor.
Open the ball valve, and the gas in the valve block pipeline flows to the outdoor safe place via the
air exhaust hose.
After discharging the air, reconnect the pressure gauge to the test point on the two-stage gas

9
valve.
If a test device is installed in the device, it can be used to test whether the air has been completely
removed from the pipeline.
The air must be discharged completely.

4.3 Description of valve block components

VGD40. ···two-stage gas valve and SKP25 gas pressure regulator


The safety cut-off on/off feature complies with EN 161 standards and it is used in conjunction with
Siemens gas valves and air quick cut-off valves.
 Open slowly
 Closed quickly
 Low power consumption
When being powered on, the pump is started and the control valve is closed. The pump sends oil
from the container below the piston to the pressure chamber above the piston. The piston moves
downwards under the action of oil pressure and the valve against the pressure of the closing
spring is opened. The pump stays on until it receives a shutdown instruction. When the power
supply is cut off or fails, the pump is turned off and the control valve is opened, so that the closing
spring pushes the piston back. The size of the reflux system ensures that the stroke to return to
the fully closed position is completed within 0.6s.
The actuator and valve are used together, suitable for I ... III gas and air. They are mainly used in
gas burning devices. The actuator is opened slowly, but it is closed quickly. They can be used in
combination with any of the above types and sizes of valves.
SKP25 ... with a setting spring can be used as a constant pressure regulator.

4.3.1 Pressure switch


After the burner blower starts, the pressure of the combustion air in the burner
bellows.
Dismantle the transparent plastic cover from the pressure switch. Set the
pressure switch via the ring screw VR to 50% of the measured value.
After adjusting, reinstall the plastic cover.

4.3.2 Gas filter


The gas filter is a device used to remove dust carried by the gas. It can prevent the components of
the equipment (such as burners, calculators and regulators) from being clogged quickly. This filter
is generally installed on the upper reaches of all control equipment and switching equipment.
Maintenance of gas filter
After ensuring that there is no compressed gas in the filter, loosen the fixing screw 8 and take off
the cover 1. Dismantle the sleeve 3 of the filter, wash it with soapy water and clean water, and dry
it with compressed air (if necessary, replace it), before reinstalling it onto its original position.
Check whether the position of the sleeve and that of the bottom positioning plate 6 are correct,
ensure that it will not lock the cover 1, and return the cover to its original position. Finally, put on
the cover 1 again to ensure that the O-ring 2 can be stuck on the base, and the sleeve is smoothly
located between the positioning plate 6 and the cover 1, like the bottom 5.

4.3.3 PLC automatic leak detection system (with pressure switch)


Leak detection device is specifically designed for safety shut-off valves, which are used in gas
burners and other gas applications. In the event of gas leakage, the system can prevent the
burner from starting. When used in conjunction with 2 pressure switches, the valve leak detection
system will automatically start when the burner is started.
The valve leak test is based on the level-2 pressure verification test principle:

1. The first stage of testing: first the V2 valve is powered on and opened for 5 seconds, before it is
closed,
Reduce the gas pressure between V1 valve and V2 valve to atmospheric pressure. Within 22
seconds, apply the leak detection switch to detect whether the pressure inside rises. If there is no
pressure, V1 valve leaks and the burner can not be started. If it is detected that V1 valve is not
leaking, enter the second stage.

2. The second stage of testing: Then the V1 valve is powered on and opened for 5 seconds, and
then it is closed, so that the pressure between V1 valve and V2 valve is equal to the gas source
pressure of natural gas; the pressure of the natural gas inside is detected through the leak
detection switch, and if there is no pressure, V2 valve is leaking and the burner cannot be started!
If the pressure does not decrease, V2 valve does not leak, and the second stage passes. If both
the first and second stages pass, the start-up procedure of the burner enters the next stage of
purging.

11
The automatic leak detection system is a very important burner protection system.
In case of internal leak, it is very dangerous for gas to enter the furnace.
It is strictly forbidden to use the burner by short circuit or removing the leak
Danger detection system.

5. Proportional adjustment setting/Burner

5.1 EP… GE burner


EBICO EP… GE burner is an industrial electronic proportional adjustment gas burner. Its
operation, start and stop are fully automatic. The automatic function of the burner is realized in the
automatic system.

The main components of the burner:


1. Bellows
2. Nozzle
3. Ignition gun
4. Adjusting device for damper and gas butterfly valve
5. Flame detector
6. Combustion air controller
7. Observation hole

5.1.1 Bellows
The burner bellows are made of welded steel plates. Combustion air is introduced into the
octagonal frame, and the airflow enters the furnace through an adjustable blade. The position of
the blade has an impact on the rotation of the air passing through the burner. The blade causes air
to move in a tangential rotational manner before entering the furnace. The position of the blade
can be adjusted by a lever mounted on the front plate of the burner. The blade adjustment is
completed during the trial operation.
The blade position has an influence on the following factors:
 Vortex of combustion air and flame shape
 Mixture of combustion air and gas
Note! The position of the regulating blade has been set during the trial operation, and its position
cannot be changed.
The air volume is adjusted by the air control panel at the front of the bellows.

Combustion air enters from the inside of the burner, where there are four dampers controlled by
the motor to regulate the air flow.

5.1.2 Servo motor


Perform the motor adjustment

Before starting the burner, check the adjustment of the air piece and gas valve actuating
motor. Regarding this adjustment, please proceed as follows:
Check whether the switch of the air piece is properly adjusted to avoid hitting the air
piece into the air intake box. In order to adjust the limit switch, it is suggested to feed air
to the actuator from the outside instead of from the control system.
Check the gas valve actuator switch to rotate it up to 90º.

13
Check whether the rotating direction of the actuator is correct (when the control system issues an
opening command, the actuator starts to turn on gas and air intake). If it does not happen, replace
the opening & closing actuator wires. When the actuator runs to the maximum opening position,
the feedback signal value rises; if it does not happen, the external signal wire is replaced.

If an actuator is replaced, the


maximum and minimum
potentiometer positions must be
kept at the same value; otherwise
the burner must be adjusted again.

The damper flaps are held on each


side by bearings and special supports. These bearings can swing to adjust the flaps properly.

5.1.3 Nozzle

NOx emissions are reduced by positioning the gas gun to the outside, but CO increases and the
flame length is shortened, so that the flame becomes more stable (the boiler may be vibrated).
Positioning the gas gun inwards reduces CO emissions and stabilizes the flame, but NOx
emissions increase and the flame becomes longer.

5.1.4 Ignition gun


Parameters:
Flame size: Máx. 500 mm
Natural gas connection: 3/4”
Natural gas supply pressure: 60-150 mbar
Combustion air supply pressure: 10mbar (minimum).
Natural gas flow: 25 Nm3/h
Power supply: 230 Vac, 50/60 Hz
Ignition transformer: 1 x 8 kV, 20mA
Flame relay: sensitivity> 1 mA

The ignition gun is a gas igniter. The junction box and ignition transformer are installed at the rear
end. The combustion chamber is a place where gas and air are mixed. The ignition gun’s flame is
ignited in the gas nozzle at the front end of the ignition gun. See the chapter Maintenance for
details.

The main parts of the ignition gun


 Intake pipe
 Ignition transformer
 Connecting cables
 Gas nozzle
 Ignition electrode

When the premix of combustion gas and air is ignited by the ignition electrode in the gas nozzle,
combustion occurs.

14
The ignition voltage is 8000V, and the ignition device must be reliably grounded.
Danger

The required amount of liquefied gas and combustion air from the supply pipeline enter the
ignition gun through the valve device.

5.1.5 Ignition gas solenoid valve


Two Gas solenoid valves are installed to control the gas supply into the igniter.
These valves normally close, and when they open, the gas flows into the
igniter. Two solenoid valves are energized at the same time. Install 2 solenoid
valves to ensure ignition circuit is closed when required. The valve is Brahama
E6g.
5.1.6 Observation hole
Observe the flame through the observation hole. If there is dust on it, it must be dismantled and
cleaned.

5.1.7 Regulating device for damper and gas butterfly valve


The adjustment of gas and combustion air is determined by two servo motors respectively, which
adjust the size of the damper and the intake butterfly valve according to the ratio of air and gas;
the amount of air and fuel can be changed as long as the size of the servo motor is changed. The
servo motor receives 4-20mA control signals. It has changed the disadvantages of traditional
burners in which the burner is adjusted through mechanical connecting rod, such as difficult
adjustment, poor accuracy and large error. According to the preset air-to-gas ratio curve or the
curve during commissioning, the size of the damper and that of the intake butterfly valve are
adjusted synchronously.

5.1.8 Flame detection device


The main flame of the burner is monitored by the main flame
detector. The connecting pipe of the flame detector is installed on
the burner, and it has a cooling air joint. Cool air keeps the flame
detector clean and prevents overheating.

The flame scanner for flame detectors is a UV sensor, type QRA10.


APPLICATIONS: LIQUID AND GAS FUEL PROTECTION: IP 54
operating temperature:-20 °C... + 60 °C weight: 740G
5.2 Gas regulator
The high-precision regulating valve has a spherical shape inside the valve seat, with the features
such as high strength, a large valve flow area, small flow resistance, and almost no friction with
the valve plate when it is closed and started, to ensure its long-term service.

In order to accurately set the load of the heating device, the corresponding gas flow must be
calculated in advance.

20
Example:
Boiler power: 2000KW
Boiler efficiency: 88%
Calorific value of combustion (natural gas) H u, n = 10 kWh/m³
Required heating power (burner output) =
2000/0.88 = 2273kW
Gas flow rate in standard state:
Vn = 2273/10 = 227.3m³/h
Because the amount of gas will vary with changes in pressure and temperature, it should be
converted according to the state of the equipment in the actual operating environment.
Standard state: 0°C, 1013 mbar

The actual operating conditions of the equipment in the above example:

mbar
Po = atmospheric pressure 960
PG = gas pressure * 500
Absolute pressure 1460
tG = gas temperature 15°C
* Gas pressure and temperature can be read from the flowmeter.
Po+PG 273
The formula for calculating the correction factor F is: F = 1013 * 273+tG
Then: 960 + 500 = 1460 mbar and F = 1.366 at a temperature tG 15°C
So the actual gas flow required: Vb = Vn/f = 227.3/1.366 = 166.4 m³/h
Because the moisture content in the gas is very low, it has been ignored in the formula.

8. Troubleshooting of Burner

8.1 If a failure occurs, the basic requirements for correct operation should be
checked first

1. Whether the air pressure in the air supply line is normal and whether the ball valve has been
opened;
2. Whether all the regulators such as the safety device limit switch when the temperature switch of
the boiler is short of water are set correctly;
3. Whether the amount of fuel and the corresponding air distribution have changed.
If it is determined that the failure is not caused by an external cause, the operation function of
each component of the burner must be checked.

9. Burner fan
When connecting the fan and the burner, install the fan before connecting the air duct. The upper
part of the air duct should be equipped with a compensator to ensure that there is no acting force
on the housing. The air duct is provided by user on the site. Before entering the burner, a straight
pipe with a length of about 1 meter should be provided. If there is a reducing pipe or expansion
joint in the air duct, the opening angle should not exceed 15°, and the air duct steel plate should
be more than 4 mm; the air speed does not exceed 15m/s, and the inner diameter of the air duct
should be larger than the inlet size of the burner.
Before starting the fan for the first time, you must check whether there are impurities, water, etc. in
the fan shell, turn the fan shaft by hand to see whether it rotates flexibly, and then turn on the
power supply to check whether the direction of the fan rotation is consistent with that on the fan
label. The damper should be closed when starting the fan for the first time. The full load curve of
the motor needs to be inspected
Where the fan is installed on the foundation, the levelness must be strictly adjusted with air level,
and the base frame must be stable. If the fan is driven by a belt, the belt should be checked after
10 to 12 hours of operation. If it is loose, the belt should be tightened again to meet the
requirements.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the burner, it is recommended to carry out the following
work at least every year
1 Check the flame holding plate and replace it if necessary. Check the settings of the
combustion head if there is much carbon in the flame holding plate.
2 Clean and check the position of the ignition electrode, and replace it if necessary.
3 Clean and check the flame sensor, and replace it if necessary.
4 Regularly clean and check the gas nozzle, and replace it if necessary.
5 Check the connection part of the servo motor.
6 Check the leakage of the gas pipeline.
7 Clean the filter.
8 Check the combustion situation through regular exhaust gas detection or boiler cleaning.

11. Safety guidance


1 The ignition and operation of the burner should be performed by the strictly trained operators.
2 Because hot air is used in the burner, it is strictly prohibited to touch the burner directly with
your hands.
3 Unauthorized safety problems may never be carried out. Our company will not be responsible
for unauthorized modification.
4 It is strictly forbidden to conduct electric welding and gas cutting operations near natural gas
pipelines, and do not put cigarettes, matches, lighters and other fire sources near the fuel,
which may cause ignition.
5 If there is gas leakage, do not ignite or start live equipment, close the main gas valve, make
sure the leakage area is well ventilated, and contact the operation management personnel.
6 If the burner fails to be ignited for one time, notify the maintenance personnel to find out the
cause and then ignite it again. It is strictly forbidden to ignite it repeatedly.

- with mechanical fuel / air ratio control
- with electronic fuel / air ratio control

SKP55... The SKP55... operates as a differential pressure governor.

Its field of use are primarily


- combustion plant with combined heat recovery systems
- plant where pressure conditions in the burner and in the combustion chamber do
not change in proportion to load changes
- burners with adjustable fuel / air mixing devices in the burner head
- plant with negative pressure levels on the gas or air side

SKP75... The SKP75... operates as a ratio controller and provides control of the gas pressure
depending on the pressure of the combustion air, ensuring that the gas / air ratio re-
mains constant across the entire load range.

Engineering notes
Design of the If the available gas pressure exceeds the maximum permissible operating pressure of
gas train the valve / SKP... (refer to the Data Sheet of the relevant valve), it must be lowered by
an upstream pressure controller. The pressure switch for lack of gas must always be
fitted upstream of the gas valve when used in connection with the SKP… The inside
diameter of the impulse pipes must be a minimum of 6 mm.

SKP25..., SKP55..., The impulse pipes must be installed such that the differential pressure can be acquired
SKP75... with no disturbance (unfavorable flow conditions). Pressure test points must not pro-
trude and be flush with the inside diameter of the pipe or duct wall. The impulse lines to
the governor / controller should be as short as possible, enabling the governor / control-
ler to respond quickly should sudden load changes occur.

SKP75... • Installation of impulse pipes


In the case of unsafe combustion chamber pressure pipes (e.g. resulting from po-
tential leaks), the setting must also be checked during operation without having the
combustion chamber pipe connected, especially with respect to maximum burner
capacity. The impulse pipes must be fitted such that the differential pressure can
be acquired with no disturbance. With gas / air ratios > 3, the impulse pipes for the
combustion air and the combustion chamber pressure must have an inside diame-
ter of at least 8 mm. The impulse pipe for the combustion chamber pressure must
be fitted such that the gases will cool down in the vicinity of the impulse pipe and
condensing gases cannot enter the controller but will return to the combustion
chamber.

Recommendations:
– The gas pressure should be acquired at a distance of 5 times the nominal pipe
size downstream from the valve
– Do not use the lateral test points on the VG... valve body for picking up the pres-
sure

• Considering the combustion chamber pressure


If the resistance value of the combustion chamber / heat exchanger / stack system
is constant, the combustion chamber pressure changes in proportion to the gas
and combustion air pressure as the burner’s output changes. In that case, the
combustion chamber pressure need not be fed to the SKP75... as a disturbance
variable. However, if the combustion chamber pressure does not change to the
same extent as the gas and air pressure – as this is the case in plants with flue gas
fan or modulating flue gas damper – the combustion chamber pressure must be
fed to the SKP75... as a disturbance variable, enabling the controller to counteract.

Mounting notes
• Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations are complied with
• The quadratic arrangement of the fixing holes allows the actuator to be fitted in 4
different positions, each step being 90°
• The actuator can be mounted or replaced while the system is under pressure; seal-
ing materials are not required
• Follow the Mounting Instructions included with the actuators:
- For SKP15...: M7643
- For SKP25...: M7643.1
- For SKP55...: M7643.2
- For SKP75...: M7643.3

Installation and commissioning notes
SKP... in general • Electrical commissioning may only be performed when the SKP… is fitted to the
valve; otherwise, the SKP… can be damaged
• Power is supplied and connection of the end switch is made directly via a connect-
ing cable (conforming to DIN EN 175301-803-A)
• The end switch is factory set

Functioning principle When power is applied, the pump will be activated and the control valve closed. Oil is
of 1-stage actuator with now pumped from the chamber below the piston to the pressure chamber above the
safety shutoff feature piston. The oil pressure causes the piston to move downward, thereby opening the
valve – against the pressure of the closing spring. The pump remains energized until
the closing command is given. When power is removed, or in the event of a power
failure, the pump will be deactivated and the control valve opened so that the closing
spring pushes the piston back. The return flow system is sized such that the counter-
stroke required for reaching the fully closed position is completed within about 0.6 sec-
onds.

Adjustment in the field can be made as follows:
Note:
Fit cap again before measuring the combustion value and after the setting is
made.
Turn adjusting screw c in counterclockwise direction until spring i is com-
pletely loose. Shut off the gas supply upstream of the SKP55... Switch on the
SKP55... Turn adjusting screw c in clockwise direction until valve opens
- Bring the adjustable orifice k to the precalculated value. That value with the
same pressure differential on the air and gas side must lead to practically stoi-
chiometric combustion
- Start the burner and run it to about 90 % of the nominal load
- Measure the combustion quality and make adjustments of the flow rate with the
adjustable orifice k until optimum measured values are reached (fine adjust-
ment)
- Return to low-fire operation. Check the combustion and readjust if necessary
the position of the working characteristic with the setting screw c on the
SKP55... until optimum measured values are reached. Clockwise rotation →
more gas. Counterclockwise rotation → less gas, that is, parallel displacement
of the working characteristic towards lack of air or excess air
- Limit the air damper j for low-fire operation
- If a significant parallel displacement of the working characteristic was required,
the setting must be checked again at 90 % of the nominal load and then read-
justed, if required
- Run the burner to the predefined nominal load with the help of the air damper
j and limit the actuator position for that load
- Check the flue gas values at a few positions of the load range. Make readjust-
ments in the nominal load range with the adjustable orifice k, and in the low-
fire range with screw c on the governor of the SKP55...

Adjustment of the gov- • Use setting screw c / «PGAS» / «PAIR» to set the gas / air ratio to the required
ernor on modulating value (coarse setting) and the scale with setting screw d to zero (refer to
burners fig. 7643z03)
• Start the burner and run it to about 90 % of the nominal load
• Measure the CO2 or O2 content of the flue gases and optimize the adjustment with
setting screw c / «PGAS» / «PAIR» (refer to fig. 7643z03)
• Return to low-fire operation, check the CO2 or O2 content of the flue gases. If nec-
essary, readjust position of the working characteristic with setting screw d/
until optimum measured values are attained
• Limit the air damper position for low-fire operation

Meaning of setting screw markings:


+ more gas
- less gas

HVAC Products 11.01.2005
Installation and commissioning notes (cont´d)

If a significant parallel displacement of the working characteristic was required to obtain


optimum CO2 or O2 values in low-fire operation, the adjustment of the pressure ratio at
nominal load or 90 % of the nominal load must be checked again and readjusted, if
required.

• Run the burner to the required output and limit the nominal load air damper position
• Check the flue gas values at various positions of the load range

If readjustments are required:


- Use setting screw c / «PGAS» / «PAIR» in the nominal load range
- Use setting screw d/ to make parallel displacements of the characteristic in
the flow-fire range

If the gas / air pressure ratio lies outside the setting range, an orifice in the gas or air
flow can be used to adjust the pressure at the test points on the burner side. Prerequi-
site is that there is a sufficient gas or air pressure reserve on the inlet side.

Pressure Switches QPLx5…

The pressure switches are used for monitoring gas or air pressures.
When the pressure falls below or exceeds the adjusted switching point, the re-
spective electrical circuit will be opened or changes over.

The QPLx5... and this Data Sheet are intended for use by OEMs which integrate
the pressure switches in their products.

Use

• For the supervision of air or gas pressures in gas trains of gas-fired equipment (gas
burners)
• The QPLx5... are suitable as pressure switches for minimum or maximum pressure
• Adjustable working pressure range up to 500 mbar
• Able for a permanent operation pressure up to 690 mbar
• Suited for gases of gas families 1, 2 and 3 and other neutral gaseous media

Warning notes
To avoid injury to persons, damage to property or the environment, the following
warning notes should be observed!

Do not open, interfere with or modify the pressure switch!

• All activities (mounting, installation and service work, etc.) must be performed by
qualified staff
• Before making any wiring changes in the connection area of the switch, completely
isolate the equipment from the mains supply (all-polar disconnection)
• Fall or shock can adversely affect the safety functions. Such units must not be put
into operation, even if they do not exhibit any damage
• Do not use the pressure switch in inflammable or explosive gas atmospheres

Engineering notes
Setting the To set the required switching point, remove the cover from the pressure switch and turn
switching point the setting knob clockwise to increase the set value, or counterclockwise to decrease it

Warnhinweise
Die Beachtung folgender Warnhinweise hilft Personen-, Sach- und Umweltschä-
den zu vermeiden!

• Alle Tätigkeiten (Montage, Installation, Service usw.) müssen durch dafür qualifi-
zierte Fachkräfte erfolgen
• Schalten Sie vor sämtlichen Arbeiten im Anschlussbereich die Spannungsversor-
gung allpolig ab
• Sorgen Sie durch geeignete Maßnahmen für den Berührungsschutz an den elektri-
schen Anschlüssen
• Überprüfen Sie die Verdrahtung auf ihren ordnungsgemäßen Zustand
• Halogenlampen, Schweißgeräte, Speziallampen sowie der Zündfunke können
einen ausreichend hohen UV-Anteil ausstrahlen, so dass die Zelle zündet. Rönt-
gen- und Gammastrahlung können ebenso ein falsches Flammensignal erzeugen
• Nach einem Sturz oder Schlag dürfen diese Flammenfühler nicht mehr in Betrieb
genommen werden, da Sicherheitsfunktionen auch ohne äußerlich erkennbare Be-
schädigungen beeinträchtigt sein können

Montagehinweise
• Beachten Sie die jeweils geltenden nationalen Sicherheitsvorschriften

Installationshinweise
• Verlegen Sie die Hochspannungszündkabel immer separat mit möglichst großem
Abstand zum QRA... und zu anderen Kabeln

Elektrischer Anschluss der Flammenfühler


Wichtig ist eine möglichst störungsfreie und verlustlose Signalübertragung:
• Verlegen Sie die Fühlerleitung nicht mit anderen Leitern
– Leitungskapazitäten verringern die Größe des Flammensignals
– verwenden Sie ein separates Kabel
• Beachten Sie die zulässige Länge der Fühlerleitung, siehe «Technische Daten»

HVAC Products 26.10.2004
Inbetriebnahmehinweise
• Überprüfen Sie vor Inbetriebnahme die Verdrahtung auf ihren ordnungsgemäßen
Zustand
• Ein störungsfreier Brennerbetrieb ist nur dann gewährleistet, wenn die Intensität
der UV-Strahlung am Einbauort des Fühlers noch so groß ist, dass dieser während
jeder Halbwelle sicher zündet.
Die Kontrolle der Intensität der UV-Strahlung am Einbauort des Fühlers erfolgt
durch Messung des Fühlerstroms.

Glas- und Quarzglaslin- Der Glas- und Quarzglaslinsenhalter AGG06 nimmt die Linse AGG03 und das Wärme-
senhalter AGG06 dämmglas AGG02 auf.
Der Einsatz der Linse erhöht die Empfindlichkeit.
Das Wärmedämmglas bietet Schutz vor hohen Temperaturen und dient damit der Ver-
längerung der Lebensdauer der UV-Zelle.
Außerdem gestattet der AGG06 verschiedene Zusammenbaukombinationen mit Linse,
Wärmedämmglas sowie 1“-Gewindemuffe.
Bei der Verwendung von Linse und Wärmedämmglas muss AGG06 mit der Linse an
die nächstliegende Position zum Flammenfühler eingebaut werden.

AGG06 wird mittels Bajonettverschluss am Gehäuse des AGG16.C oder am Fühlerge-


häuse von QRA10... und an der 1“-Gewindemuffe befestigt.
AGG06 kann durch die beidseitigen Bajonettverbindungen leicht aus der entsprechen-
den Zusammenbaukombination mit QRA10... oder AGG16.C sowie QRA53... oder
QRA55... gelöst werden.
Damit lassen sich Glas oder Linse schnell und einfach reinigen, ohne dass diese aus
dem AGG06 ausgebaut werden müssen.
Die Zwischenringe dienen der Anpassung der Gängigkeit der Bajonettverbindungen.
Sie werden vor allem dort eingesetzt, wo man nach Entfernen des Flammenfühlers die
Öffnung zum Feuerraum als Schaurohr verwenden will.
Durch Einsetzen des Zwischenrings an der richtigen Bajonettverschlussverbindung
kann erreicht werden, dass bei Drehung am Gehäuse von QRA10... oder AGG16.C
sich die Kombination an einer gewünschten Stelle löst.

Quarzglaslinse AGG03 AGG03 mit Federring und O-Ring, zur Erhöhung der Empfindlichkeit.

Wärmedämmglas Wärmedämmglas AGG02 mit Federring und O-Ring, gleiche Einbaumöglichkeiten wie
AGG02 für AGG03.
Der Einsatz dieses Wärmedämmglases wird erforderlich, wenn die Temperatur am
Flammenfühler 80 °C überschreitet.

Gewindemuffe (D) Die 1“-Gewindemuffe kann mit Bajonettverschluss entweder am AGG06, am AGG16.C
oder am QRA10... befestigt werden.

Funktion
Bei dieser Überwachungsart wird die UV-Strahlung von Gas- und Ölflammen zur Bil-
dung des Flammensignals herangezogen.
Strahlungsdetektor ist eine UV-empfindliche Zelle mit 2 Elektroden, die durch Bestrah-
lung im Wellenlängenbereich 190...270 nm zündet und damit einen Strom in Flammen-
fühlerkreis erzeugt.
Auf nachglühende Schamottierung des Feuerraums oder Tageslicht reagiert die UV-
Zelle nicht.

Dust deposites may occur in certain installations and these may cause unbalance of the fan
impeller due to erosion or corrosion, thus gradually causing damage to the bearings.

Under such conditions, periodic vibration checks are recommended to determine any changes
in the condition of the fan.

If necessary, the fan must be cleaned or rebalanced.


Large quantities of dust deposits may also reduce the fan performance.
