POSITIONING AND MOUNTING OF THE BURNER’S MODULES
The main module of the burner from series “GP” must be mounted horizontally to the
appliance that will consume the generated heat energy, produced by the fuel combustion.
Depending on the appliance type a technical evaluation for the main module position has to
be performed, so reliable operation, easy cleaning, servicing and maintenance are ensured,
as well as for reliable and high efficient co-operation of the burner and the heat energy
consuming appliance. The main burner module has to be installed to the heat energy
consuming appliance by using the attached sealing.
The fuel transport auger must be positioned near to the burner, so it can be connected to the
main module by the flexible pipe, through which the fuel from the auger drops. It is also
recommended to ensure 45
o
tilt angle between the transport auger axis and the horizontal
plane, which ensures optimal operation conditions for the auger motor and for the burning
process. The bottom (suction) part of the auger has to be positioned in the lowest point of the
fuel hopper, so its constant filling is ensured. The fuel transport auger and the fuel hopper
have to be positioned in a way providing easy manipulation with the burner’s main module,
for the purposes of cleaning and servicing, as well as for proper mounting of the feeding
flexible pipe.
To ensure optimal operation conditions of the fuel transport auger it is
recommended to use a fuel hopper model “BP” – manufactured by the burner
manufacturer. This hopper is not part of the “GP” series burner standard delivery
kit.
