4.3  FUEL TYPES and COMBUSTION CALIBRATION 

All BMK models are preconfigured at the factory to use either natural gas or propane gas, and 
BMK models 1500 to 6000 are available in dual fuel versions (natural gas and propane).  

Both fuel types require different combustion calibration values, and so care must be taken to 
ensure to follow the instructions for the fuel being used.  

 

Natural Gas

 combustion calibration:  Section 4.4.1 

 

Propane

 combustion calibration:  Section 4.4.2 

Instructions for switching between fuel types in dual fuel models are presented in Section 4.6.  

 

4.4  COMBUSTION CALIBRATION 

The Benchmark boiler is combustion calibrated with either standard combustion (NOx emissions 
of 

<20 ppm

) or Ultra-Low NOx (NOx 

<9 ppm

) on the BMK750 to 2000 only at the factory, 

whichever was ordered, prior to shipping. The gas pressure must be within the ranges shown in 
Table 4-2 for each model of boiler 

at full fire

Recalibration as part of initial start-up is necessary due to changes in the local altitude, gas BTU 
content, gas supply piping and supply regulators. Combustion Calibration Test Data sheets are 
shipped with each unit. These sheets must be filled out and returned to AERCO for proper 
Warranty Validation.  

IT IS IMPORTANT TO PERFORM THE COMBUSTION CALIBRATION PROCEDURE BELOW 
TO PROVIDE OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE AND KEEP READJUSTMENTS TO A MINIMUM
