Pellet burner GP xx sc 13
5.4.
POSITIONING AND MOUNTING OF THE BURNER’S MODULES.
The main module of a pellet burner from series „GP xx sc” has to be mounted horizontally to
the appliance, which will consume the heat energy generated by the fuel burning. Depending
on the appliance type a technical evaluation has to be performed in advance, regarding the
burner’s main module position, in order to achieve reliable operation, easy cleaning,
maintenance and servicing.
The burner’s main module has to be mounted to the heat energy consuming appliance by
using the attached sealing. The fuel transport auger has to be positioned near to the burner,
in order to ensure the connection between it and the main module through the flexible tube,
through which the fuel transits. It is also recommended that the tilting angle between the
transport auger and the horizontal plane is fixed to 45
o
, which will provide optimal operation
of the auger’s electric motor and of the burning process.
In order to ensure optimal operational conditions of the fuel transport auger it is
recommended to use a pellet hopper – produced by the burner’s
manufacture company. This hopper is not included in the standard delivery kit of
the pellet burners from series „GP xx sc”.
Change of the auger’s tilting angle leads to changes in the fuel consumption and
respectively to the burner’s heating output:
- Decreasing the auger’s tilting angle leads to increased fuel consumption,
respectively to increased heating output;
- Increasing the auger’s tilting angle leads to decreased fuel consumption,
respectively to decreased heating output.
Figure 5.3 presents a scheme for installation and positioning of the fuel transport auger.
Figure 5.3. Scheme for installation and positioning of the fuel feeding auger.
The auger on the scheme is equipped with metal support bar, which is optional
equipment to the burner’s delivery kit. The auger’s axis has to be positioned at
45
o
angle relative to the horizontal plane.
