Vitoflex 300-RF Installation & Operating
Operation
Operating States
In automatic mode, the boiler assumes various operating
states as listed in the following table. The relevant current
operating state is displayed on the programming unit.
The order of the operating states normally follows the
sequence detailed in the table, from “OFF” to “Burnout”.
The “Oil/gas operation” operating state is only intended
for operation with an alternative heat generator.
Operating state
Description
“OFF”
The system is switched off.
“Zero air dampers”
The zero position of the air dampers (primary air, secondary air) is set anew for
each normal cycle.
“Flush comb. chamber”
With each normal cycle, the combustion chamber is purged with ambient air.
“Fill hopper”
The hopper is filled up.
“Fill screw conveyor”
Warm start:
The feed screw conveyor is filled with fuel. During this process, the feed screw
conveyor operates with the “Screw conveyor fill time” parameter.
“Combustion chamber filling”
Cold start:
Fuel is delivered via the feed on to the infeed grate. During this process, the feed
screw conveyor operates with the “Combustion chamber fill time” parameter.
“Ignition”
The ignition system is in operation. The controller monitors the ignition process,
see page 47.
“Load”
The system is in heating mode.
“Run screw conveyor until empty” The feed screw conveyor is run to empty. The controller then switches to the
“Burnout” operating state.
“Burnout”
Operating state after the system has been switched off via the programming unit
or due to a fault, or when no more heat is needed (cylinder fully charged).
A controlled system shutdown is performed.
After burnout, the controller switches to the “OFF” operating state or to
“Standby ON - OFF”.
“Standby ON - OFF”
The system is switched on and the cylinder is charged. No additional heat is
needed.
“Oil/gas operation”
Requirements: An alternative heat generator (oil or gas burner) has been fitted.
The burner is in operation. With an oil or gas burner, only the “OFF” and “Oil/gas
operation” operating states are possible.
