order to provide optimal operating conditions for the electric motor and
efficient combustion process in the combustion chamber of the main unit.
The lower section of the auger should be positioned in the fuel bunker and
appropriate measures should be taken in order to prevent fuel discharge
through gaps between the auger’s pipe and the wall of the bunker.
Additionally the lower section of the transport auger should be positioned
in the lowest part of the hoper in order to ensure reliable fuel charging of
the auger’s pipe entrance. The final position of the transport auger should
be fixed by adjustment of the length/height of the auger’s movable
support element. The fuel transport auger and the hoper should properly
be arranged in order to ensure safe operation of the units and easy access
and maintenance. The installation of the flexible hose should be
considered as well – it could be bended and eventually its length could be
decreased if necessary;
ATTENTION:
any change of the position (i.e. angle between the auger’s
axis and the horizontal plane) practically influences/changes the fuel flow
rate and the thermal capacity of the burner as follows:
o
decrease
of the angle between the axis of the transport auger and
horizontal plane leads to
increased
fuel flow rate and respectively
higher thermal capacity of the burner;
o
increase
of the angle between the axis of the transport auger and
horizontal plane leads to
decreased
fuel flow rate and respectively
lower thermal capacity of the burner;
•
Flexible hose
should be installed – it connects the exit pipe of the fuel
transport auger and the fuel delivery pipe of the main unit. The flexible
hose should be straight (no visible hose slacking is allowed as such
regions could accumulate dust and small fuel particles) and finally its
ends should be tightened to the pipes by applied adjustable braces.
