Note:
air within the oil supply system or oil control valve will affect the ability of the oil control valve to allow the
correct flow rate. If an incorrect flow rate is suspected, inspect the oil control valve and supply line for air.
The draught stabilizer at the rear of the stove should be examined to ensure it opens and closes freely before lighting
the stove.
The stove’s combustion pressure testing point located
.
Belfort: This is a screw fitted in the flue blanking plate which can be removed to insert the steel tube from the draught
gauge.
Savoy: Lift the breather tube out of the oil control valve and attach the draught test gauge to this to take the reading,
the other end of this tube remains within the body of the stove.
Commissioning
Remove the fuel effect before attempting commissioning.
Following the lighting instructions relevant to the stove being commissioned light the stove.
Note:
Do not light the burner if oil is present in the burner base. Remove this oil before lighting.
Shortly after the stove is lit a stove air pressure reading should be taken and the pressure monitored at fifteen minutes
intervals to ensure the stove and flue are operating safely with sufficient air. As the stove and flue warm, the supply
of air being induced into the burner will increase, and it will be possible to raise
the stove’s firing rate progressively
until the stove is running at its maximum output.
Note:
do not increase oil flow rate to the point where smoke is produced.
The entire Stove, flue should be allowed to reach normal operating temperature. Depending on the flue system this
may take up to 1 hour.
Note:
Commissioning without the system at operating temperature will probably result in you, the engineer, returning
to correct the commissioning at a later date.
Reduce the control setting to No 1 (low setting, the resistance before the
control valve goes “click off” is the ideal point
).
After 5-10 minutes take a draught reading. This reading should be within
the requirements of the stove.
If the draught readings are higher or lower than required adjust the stoves
stabiliser so the correct reading is obtained by winding in (clockwise) to
increase or out (anti-clockwise) to decrease the counter balanced weight
on the stabiliser.
Once the correct low fire chimney draught has been achieved turn the stove to high fire, No 6, progressively over 5
minutes.
Wait 10-15 minutes for the chimney draught to stabilise.
Adjust the draught stabiliser weight so the chimney draught does not exceed the maximum required. If the draught
cannot be achieved for high fire see section reducing high fire flow rates.
