CAUTION
Low flue gas temperature increases the risk of
condensation. Adjust the total temperature at or higher
then 204°C (400°F) in order for the heat exchanger
warranty to remain in force.
3.3.5
Overfire pressure test
The overfire draft that is taken through the observation port,
located above the burner, is a measurement necessary to
determine if there is a blockage in the heat exchanger or the
flue pipe. Refer to the Technical Specifications in this manual
for overfire pressure values. A high pressure condition may be
caused by excessive combustion air, due to the air band being
too wide open, or a lack of flue draft (chimney effect) or some
other blockage, such as soot in the secondary section of the
heat exchanger or the use of an oversize nozzle input or high
pressure pump.
3.3.6 Vent Temperature Test
1.
After having adjusted the burner combustion, insert a
thermometer into the test hole in the breech pipe;
2.
The total vent temperature should be between 204 and
302°C (400 and 575°F). If not, check for improper air
temperature rise, pump pressure, nozzle size or a badly
sooted heat exchanger.
3.3.7 Supply Air Temperature Rise Test
1.
Operate the burner for at least 10 minutes;
2.
Measure the air temperature in the return air plenum;
3.
Measure the air temperature in the supply duct just
outside the range of radiant heat from the heat
exchanger. 0.3 m (12") from the plenum of the main take-
off is usually sufficient;
4.
The temperature rise is calculated by subtracting the
return air temperature from the supply air temperature;
5.
If the temperature rise is lower or exceeds the
temperature specified in Table 6, change to the next
lower or higher blower speed tap, until the temperature
rise falls to the target. If the excessive temperature rise
cannot be increased or reduced by changing fan speed,
investigate for ductwork obstructions, dirty or improper air
filter, improper firing caused by improper pump pressure
or nozzle sizing.
3.3.8 Limit Control Check
After operating the furnace for at least 15 minutes, restrict the
return air supply by blocking the filters or the return air register
and allow the furnace to shut off on High Limit. The burner will
shut off but the blower will continue to run.
Remove the obstruction and the burner should restart after a
few minutes. The time required for the restart also depends on
the adjustment of the blower “OFF” delay.
3.3.9 Restart after Burner Failure
1.
Set the thermostat lower than room temperature;
2.
Press the reset button on the burner primary control
(relay);
3.
Set the thermostat higher than room temperature;
4.
If the burner motor does not start or ignition fails, turn
off the disconnect switch and CALL A QUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil has
accumulated, when the furnace is full of vapour or when
the combustion chamber is hot.
