To ensure an economically efficient and
trouble-free operation of the system it will
be necessary to adjust the burner
specifically in accordance with the furnace
system. This is achieved by means of a
fuel-combustion air compound control unit
which adjusts the burner to ensure a
proper combustion. Exhaust gas tests are
required for this purpose.
The percentage CO2 and O2 and the
exhaust gas temperature will have to be
measured to determine the efficiency and
combustion quality.
Prior to any measurement make sure to
check the boiler and exhaust gas system
for absence of leaks.
Secondary air will falsify the measured
results
Check that the exhaust gases have a
residual oxygen (O2) content as low as
possible and a carbon dioxide (CO2)
content as high as possible.
The carbon monoxide content of the
exhaust gases must be below the currently
applicable specifications in all load stages.
In the fuel oil combustion mode the
permissible soot number in the exhaust
gas is not allowed to be exceeded
DETERMINING THE VOLUMETRIC GAS
FLOW RATE
The thermal furnace output of a boiler (QF)
is the amount of heat supplied with the gas
in a unit of time.
When taking the burner into operation the
volumetric fuel flow rate should be
selected according to the nominal thermal
capacity of the boiler.

WARNING:
if the installation is above sea level the output of the burner
vary base on the diagram.
The regulation of the burner in this case shall take into account the
reduced power of the burner due to the missing air.
