Calculation principles for gas burner adjustment
22 Calculation principles for
gas burner adjustment
The values given in the tables are setting values for start-up.
The necessary system adjustment must be newly determined in each case.
General:
The calorific value (H
i,n
) of fuel gases is generally specified for the normal state (0°C, 1013 mbar).
Natural gas type E
H
i,n
= 10.4 kWh/m
3
Natural gas type LL
H
i,n
= 9.3 kWh/m

Gas counters measure the volume of gas in the operational state.
Gas flow determination:
To allow the heat generator load to be adjusted correctly, the gas flow rate must be determined in advance.
Example:
