3. GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
General rules
This is a burner designed for FAME (RME) fuel. The fuel must meet the
requirements of standard EN 14214 for FAME. The equipment on the burner
is, however, of such a quality that it is possible to use EO1 type oil without
modification, although with appropriate adjustments to the combustion
values after each change of fuel type.
The installation of an oil burner should be carried out in accordance with
local regulations. The installer of the burner must therefore be aware of all
regulations relating to oil and combustion.
Only oil suitable for the burner must be used and then in combination with a
suitable oil filter designed for FAME (RME) and installed before the burner’s
oil pump.
If the burner is replacing an existing burner, ensure that the oil filter is
changed to a filter designed for FAME (RME). Installation may only be
performed by qualified personnel.
Care should be taken by the installer to ensure that no electrical cables
or fuel/gas pipes are trapped or damaged during installation or service/
maintenance.
Burners which are fuelled by FAME (RME) are and must be equipped with
parts designed for this fuel. This applies in particular to oil-related parts such
as the pump, solenoid valve, oil filter and hoses. It is very important when
carrying out a service to replace old parts with new parts of the same quality.
Installation instructions
General installation instructions accompany the burner and should be left in
a prominent place adjacent to the burner.
Adjustment of burner
The burner is from the factory preset to an average value that must then be
adjusted to the boiler in question.
All burner adjustments must be made in accordance with boiler
manufacturers instructions.These must include the checking of flue gas
temperatures, average water temperature and CO2 or O2 concentration.
To adjust the combustion device, start by increasing the air volume and the
nozzle assembly somewhat. When the burner starts it is burning with excess
air and smoke number 0. Reduce the nozzle assembly adjustment until soot
occurs, and then increase the adjustment to make the soot disappear again.
Then the volume of air is reduced until soot occurs and increased again to
reach a combustion free of soot.
By this procedure an optimum adjustment is obtained. If larger nozzles are
used the preadjustment of both the air volume and the nozzle assembly
must be increased.
