CHECKING COMBUSTION
In order to obtain optimum combustion efficiency and to safeguard the environment, we recommend to check, and regulate
combustion using the appropriate instruments.
The most important levels to be checked are:
CO . The level of CO indicates the excess of air during combustion. If the quantity of air is increased, then the CO %
2 2 2
level decreases, while a decrease in combustion air leads to an increase in CO . Acceptable values would be: 8.5-10%
2
METHANE, 11-12% B/P.
CO. This indicates the presence of unburnt gas. CO, as well as lowering the combustion efficiency, is also a danger, being
a poisonous gas. The presence of CO is thus an indication of imperfect combustion, and is usually a sign that there is a
lack of air during combustion. Maximum acceptable value is CO = 0.1% volume.
Flue gas temperature. This represents the loss of heat through the chimney. The higher is the temperature, the greater is
the loss of heat and the lower is the combustion efficiency. If the temperature is too high, then it is necessary to decrease
the amount of gas burnt. Acceptable temperature levels range between 160°C and 220°C.
NOTE: Certain countries may have different regulations, and thus different admissible levels from those given
above.
START UP
Check the position of the ignition electrode tips and the position of the control electrode. Check the correct operation of the
gas and air pressure switches. When the thermostatic line and the gas pressure switch close the control box gives consent
for the motor to be started. During this period the control box conducts a self-test of its correct working order. If the test is
positive then the cycle continues and at the end of the pre-purge period (TPR - combustion chamber purge) the consent
is given to the transformer for the spark at the electrodes, and to the solenoid valve for opening.
Within the safety time (TS) flame stabilization should occur, otherwise the system goes in lock-out mode.
PROLONGED SWITCHING OFF
If the burner should remain inactive at length close the gas cock and remove the electrical current from the appliance.
