How to read the burner “Performance curve”
To check if the burner is suitable for the boiler to which it must be instal-
lled, the following parameters are needed:

furnace input, in kW or kcal/h (kW = kcal/h/860);

backpressure (data are available on the boiler ID plate or in the
user’s manual).
Example:
Furnace input: 600kW
Backpressure: 4 mbar
In the “Performance curve” diagram, draw a vertical line matching the
furnace input value and an horizontal line matching the backpressure
value. The burner is suitable if the intersection point A is inside the per-
formance curve.
Data are referred to standard conditions: atmospheric pressure at 1013
mbar, ambient temperature at 15° C.
Checking the proper gas train size
To check the proper gas train size, it is necessary to the available
gas pressure value upstream the burner’s gas valve. Then subtract
the backpressure. The result is called
pgas. Draw a vertical line
matching the furnace input value (600kW, in the example), quoted
on the x-axis, as far as intercepitng the network pressure curve,
according to the installed gas train (DN65, in the example). From the
interception point, draw an horizontal line as far as matching, on the
y-axis, the value of pressure necessary to get the requested furnace
input. This value must be lower or equal to the
pgas value, calcula-
ted before.
