General Information
Important information
The burners of type RPD 30...100GL/
GS-E.../R... have been designed for the
combustion of natural gas or fuel oil.
The burners should be installed and
taken into operation by qualified person-
nel only who will be responsible for the
proper performance of this work in
accordance with the applicable regulati-
ons and guidelines.
Only duly authorized specialists should
be entrusted with the installation of the
gas system.
Any repair work on monitors, limiters
and automatic furnace controllers and
on the other safety facilities are allowed
to be done only by the manufacturers
themselves or specialists authorized by
them. Original parts should only be
exchanged by a duly qualified specia-
list.
Standards and regulations
The following standards should be
observed in the interest of a safe, easy-
on-the-environment and energy-saving
operation of the burner:
According to EN 676 and EN 267, the
user must be instructed in the operation
of the burner and according to DIN 4755
and DIN 4756, the user must be intro-
ducted in to gas firing system.
For the installation of a gas furnace
system, care should be taken to
observe DIN 4756, TRGI (Technical
Regulation on Gas Installations), the
Worksheets of DVGW (German Asso-
ciation of the Gas and Water Sector)
and the local furnace construction regu-
lations applicable in the country.
Screwed unions of metal used in gas
lines should be fitted with approved
sealing elements.
Prior to taking the burner into operation
make sure to vent the gas line, but this
should in no case be done through the
furnace chamber.
For the installation of an oil furnace
system, care should be taken to
observe DIN 4755, TRbF (Technical
Regulation on Combustible Liquids) and
the local furnace construction regulati-
ons applicable in the country.
Start-up
The furnace system should be started
initially by the installer, manufacturer or
other specialized personnel. Prior to
taking the furnace system into opera-
tion, make a test of all automatic con-
trol, safety and control facilities for
proper functional order and check them
for correct setting if of adjustable type.
Furthermore, check the control circuits,
fans, etc. for proper fuse rating, and
whether suitable precautions have been
taken to prevent accidental contact.
Inspection and Maintenance
The furnace system should be inspec-
ted and serviced at least once a year by
an authorized specialist of the installer
to ensure its proper functional order,
operational safety and energy-saving
operation. Check the system for
absence of leaks and functional order.
For the combustion analysis proceed as
described in the section entitled
„Exhaust Gas Test“. It is recommended
to conclude a maintenance agreement
to this effect.
Warranty
Manufacturer will not accept any war-
ranty if the operating instructions have
not been duly observed in the start-up
and maintenance of the burner and
damages have been caused by impro-
per installation, incorrect adjustment,
unauthorized interference or operating
errors.
Burner installation and
accessories
Boiler lining
The boiler lining should be made of
heat-resistant materials (temperature
resistance >1400°C). Take care that the
burner flame tube is covered by the
boiler lining over its full length.
The open space between the burner
flame tube and the boiler lining should
be packed with mineral wool.
Checks prior to burner installation
1
Check the mixing ignition unit
according to the boiler output.
2
Oil nozzles and mixing ignition
unit.
3
Pilot burner setting.
4
See dimensioned drawing for set-
ting dimensions of mixing ignition
unit.
5
Check the air cylinder for proper
function (possible damage in
transport).
6
Check the air damper setting
according to flame pattern and fur-
nace chamber geometry.
