Operation
START-UP
Checks before Start-up
Before starting up the Cyclone it is important to:
• Ensure that the heat generator is ready to be switched-on.
• Make sure that the flow control valve is not closed.
Start-up
Unless otherwise specified, the fan and multi-cyclone start-up controls are located on the control panel of the
heat generator. Therefore, start-up the Cyclone Separator is the result of a command coordinated by and de
-
pendent on the heat generator.
ADJUSTMENT
General information
The efficiency of filtration, as explained on page 7, depends on many factors that are difficult to influence (hu
-
midity and weight of the combustible, outside air temperature) or that can be influenced by adjusting the heat
generator (temperature of fumes, flow of fumes).
The efficiency of dust removal is connected to the fume flow and consequently its speed
of passage through the Cyclone Separator:
A speed that is too low results in:
• an accumulation of ashes in the fume tubes and in the fume fittings of the heat generator
• poor filtration due to a lack of centrifugation on the cyclone walls
A speed that is too high results in:
• the excessive transport of hot ashes in the Cyclone Separator
• poor filtration due to the transport of average sized solid particles for the curren fluid flow
effect
