9.0 Automatic Ignition.
You can get boiler from KSM-Stoker with automatic Ignition, but it is important to know how and when
we can use the ignition. In the KSM Controller we have 4 different way to use Ignition.
8.2 Ignition type.
None: We don’t use ignition at all, just let the boiler use pause mode when it has reach the boiler set
temperature. The boiler then has to be started manual, with oil or similar.
Semi Auto: You have to activate the Ignition manual.
It only works if the boiler has been in stop mode, and you start it up, if the O2 level is high, the igniter
goes on.
After have been lightening up the boiler switch to use normal pause mode when it has reach the set
temperature for switching to pause. The most common way to run boiler on woodchip with moister high
than 25% , and the most common way to run boiler type FX, XL and XXL range.
and you don’t want to start the boiler with manual, with oil or similar.
Auto: This function is for pellets boiler only. The boiler will when it reaches the set temperature, stop and
wait until the temperature have dropped in the system, and the boiler will start up again.
It is the most common way to run our boiler for pellets in the range 12-125kW and the XL type, with
ignition is installed.
Auto with empty run: This function is used for F-Auto boiler running on dry wood chip. The boiler will
when it reaches the set temperature, stop the feeding from the fuel storage, but the stoker will keep on
running until the O2 level is high and the empty run time is out.
The boiler then goes into pause and wait until the temperature have dropped in the system, and the boiler
will start up again.
Importen:
If you have to start the boiler for the first time, or after have run out of fuel, DON’T let the
boiler startup itself.
You have to feed in the fuel, to the correct level manual, and stop the auger. The ignition
will light up the fuel, and when you can see the O
2
level start dropping, you can restart
the
auger, and the controller takes over.
9.3 Start fuel
To get a correct and quick ignition, it is important that the amount of start fuel, are correct (see also
section 7.3.1.1) By the correct amount of fuel, the fuel shall reach the ignition nozzle, but not cover it.
