COMBUSTION CONTROL
In order to obtain the best combustion performance and efficiency, and for respect of the environment, checks
and adjustment of the combustion must be carried out, and with appropriate tools.
Basic values to be considered are:
—
CO
indicates the amount of excess air during combustion; if air is increased, CO
2
decrease, and if combustion air is decreased, CO
—
SMOKE SCALE (Bacharach) indicates that solid un-burnt particles are present in the smoke. If N°
2 on the BH scale is exceeded the nozzle must be checked for faults and that it is adapt to the burner
and boiler (trade, type, pulverization angle).
Usually the BH scale number tends to decrease, increasing pump pressure, in this case keep the
increasing combustion levels under control.
—
SMOKE TEMPERATURE is a level which indicates heat loss through the chimney; higher the
temperature, greater is the loss and lower combustion efficiency. If the temperature is too high the
quantity of burned light oil needs to be lowered.
IMPORTANT: existing laws in some countries can require a different adjustment to that given here and may also
have different parameters. ECO burners are designed to meet the toughest international laws on energy saving
and respect of the environment.
LMO EQUIPMENT
The release pushbutton on the equipment is the main component for accessing all the diagnostic functions
(activation and deactivation) as well as for releasing the control and checking device.
The release pushbutton has a multicoloured led which indicates the state of the control and checking device
during operation and when the diagnostic function is in use.
Condition
Standby, other intermediate states
Fuel preheating "on", waiting time 5s.max
Ignition stage
Correct operation
Incorrect operation, current level of
flame detector below permitted minimum
Drop in voltage
Burner lock out
Fault (see table on page 8)
Stray light before burner ignition
Rapid flashing for diagnostics
If the burner is locked out, there will be a steady red light on the lock out pushbutton.
By pressing the transparent pushbutton, the control and checking device will be released.
