3. Safety Guide
Only those who were trained and qualified person can follow the manual to operate or
adjust the combustion system. The fire was prohibited within a radius of 5 meters of the
combustion system. Flame, non–covered light sources or heat sources shall not be brought
to the combustion area unless it is related to the process. Welding in combustion control
area shall be approved to ensure the safety in the area and also preventive measures
should be taken into consideration.
Before starting, the operator must confirm whether the burner and gas pipeline are in
normal working condition, and there is no flammable substance around the burner. The
burner must be operated with fuel and oxygen or air. The ignition and operation of the
burner must be performed at the specified position. The burner has been correctly and
safely installed before ignition. The ignition of the burner needs to be performed after the

combustion chamber is purged. If it is ignited at a low temperature, it needs to be replaced
with 5 times the volume of the combustion chamber to avoid explosion.
However, it is not necessary to purge when the temperature is higher than 750°C. Air pipe
or gas pipe connected with burner should be tight enough with no leakage, also the
periodically check air or fuel nozzles of the burners to prevent to be blocked by dust, slag
or other materials.
ATTENTION：DANGER OF BEEN BURNT
When burner in operation, combustion is severe, so the burner must be fixed. Hoses or
cables in area of the combustion system must be suitable for high temperature, to prevent
high temperature failure or cause safety accidents. Burners should be periodically
inspected and cleaned. Copper wire brush may be used, if necessary, to clean burner head.
The burner system should be checked twice a year for safety operation.
Burner commissioning shall take care of ignition position, minimum and maximum output
position. Following interlocks will cause emergency stop, including gas low pressure, high
pressure or low combustion air pressure, as well as emergency stop is trigged, the main
power is out, UV signal failure or kiln safety conditions (such as high temperature limit, flue
system opening, etc.) will cause the burner lockout. Users need to know the maintenance
interval recommended by the manufacturer and the interval specified by national laws,
whichever is shorter.

10.Burner Installation
10.1 Storage
1. Make sure that the area is clean.
2. Store the components in a cool, clean, dry room.
3. Keep the components in the original package as long as possible
10.2 Handing
1. Make sure that the components are clean and free of damage.
2. Protect the components from weather, damage, dirt and moisture.
3. Protect the components from excessive temperatures and humidity.
4. Use appropriate support equipment, i.e. harnesses, straps, chains etc. when lifting
burner components.
10.3 Pre-Installation Checklist
Air quality requirement:
–If there are corrosive fumes or materials in the surrounding air, find clean air source
to supply to the burner. Observe ambient temperature limits as stated in operation
data.
–If combustion air from outdoor, then provide an opening in the burner room of at
least 6 cm2per 1 kW to supply the burner combustion air from outdoor.
–Do not allow exhaust gases to accumulate in the work area. Provide a means for
exhausting these gases from the building by blower.
–Install the burner with enough room so it may be easily accessed for inspection.

Anderson Thermal Solutions – SSA80 Operation Manual

10.4 Environment
Be sure the burner operating environment matches the original operating
specifications. Check the following items
–Voltage, frequency, and stability of electrical power
–Fuel type and fuel supply pressure
–Adequate fresh, clean, combustion air
–Humidity, altitude, temperature and presence of damaging corrosive gases of the
supply air.
10.5 Burner Mounting
1. Rear cover
Disconnect the pipe to the burner, remove the four bolts of rear cover, then take
down rear cover and rotate it to the position to you want. Then install the four bolts.
Re-connect the piping. Make sure that the O-rings show no signs of damage.
2. Installing the Flame Sensor
Install the flame sensor (UV or flame rod) to the rear cover pipe screw hole or extent
pipe, make electrical connect to flame controller.
3. Installing the Spark Plug
Install the spark plug into the opening in the rear cover, make electrical connect to
flame controller, please to be noted that do not apply any grease to the threads of
the spark plug. You can cause bad grounding of the spark plug if you apply grease to
it. Bad grounding of the spark plug results in a weak spark.
4. Burner Mounting
Fix burner flange with bolts to the wall of chamber, different types of burner
dimension shown in date sheet. Make sure that the wall of the chamber is strong
enough to support the weight of the burner. If necessary, reinforce the area where
you plan to install the burner to support the weight of the burner.
Refractory furnace walls must allow for thermal expansion as recommended by the
refractory supplier – the wall should apply no stress on the burner block or
refractory layer surrounding the burner block.
The combustor or combustion block must not extend beyond the inside of the
furnace wall more than 3mm. Beyond this length it is necessary to add a spacer on
the outside of the furnace to keep the end of the combustor or combustion block
within 3mm of the end of the wall.
If the combustor or burner block is shorter than the furnace wall thickness the block
or combustor should be recessed into the wall. To prevent refractory overheating, a
45° chamfer should be applied
Make sure the ceramic fiber is filled between the burner and the chamber wall if the
gap more than 20mm.

10.6 Checklist after installation
To verify the system was properly installed, perform the following checks:
–Be sure there are no leaks in the gas lines.
–Be sure all the components contained in the flame monitoring and control system,
pressure switch and wiring are properly installed.
–Be sure all components of the spark ignition system are installed and functioning
properly.
–Be sure the blower rotates in the proper direction. If the rotation is incorrect, have
a qualified electrician rewire the blower to rotate in the proper direction.
–Be sure all valves are installed in the proper location and correctly oriented relative
to the flow direction.
10.7 Prepare for adjustment
After installation of the burner system components is complete, the following steps
should be followed in order to prepare for adjustment:
–Set the air flow switch so that it drops out at 20% of the maximum pressure of the
combustion air blower.
–Set the low gas pressure switch at 50% below the gas pressure measured at the inlet
to the main gas valve train.
–Set the high gas pressure switch at 50% above the gas pressure measured at the
inlet to the main gas valve train.
–Try to ignite the burner before the purge and other timers have finished their cycles.
Make sure that the flame monitoring system indicates a flame failure.
–Trip out the pressure switches and other limit interlocks. Make sure that the main
gas valve train closes.
–If the simulated limit condition or the simulated flame fault cannot be responded at
the specified fault response time, the fuel system needs to be turned off to correct
the existing problems.
10.8 Burner commission
Special attention:
The SSA80 Series burners, described herein, are designed to mix fuel with air. All fuel
burning devices are capable of producing fires and explosions, if improperly applied,
installed, adjusted, controlled, or maintained. Do not bypass any safety feature; fire
or explosion could result. Never try to light a burner if it shows signs of damage or
malfunction.
If you are adjusting burner for the first time, you must follow these steps
1. Reset the system: Start circulating duct fan with valve fully open, close all the
automatic gas valves and manual gas cocks. Pay more attention to rotate direction
of blower.
2. Set the system to high fire, but DO NOT ignite the burner(s). Use the datasheet

Anderson Thermal Solutions – SSA80 Operation Manual
Anderson Thermal Soluions（Suzhou）Co., Ltd
9
from the appropriate SSA80 burner table to set the differential air pressure needed
at high fire.
3. Set the system to low fire air. Drive to low fire position. Measure pressure with
manometer set to 0.5mbar. This is the initial setting only. Further adjustment may
be required.
4. Make sure all the settings are still the same after you cycle the system several times
between high and low fire.
5. Burner ignition: open all the manual cocks, make sure air blower is running, the
automatic control valve is driven to low fire by flame controller, spark start ignition,
gas valve open and flame on, flame signal feedback to the controller, adjust gas
and combustion pressure by the opening of valve till strong flame signal send back
to flame controller.
6. High fire gas setting: drive burner to high fire, set gas pressure difference between
burner and chamber according to the datasheet of relative type of burner. Then
drive burner to low fire and back to high fire again to check the pressure difference.
Several recycles till the pressure difference not change again.
7. Low fire gas setting: Drive the system to low fire. Setting low fire gas pressure
difference according to datasheet of relative type of burner This is target value for
low fire. Drive burner to high fire then goes back to low fire to check pressure
difference. Several recycles of low and high fire change till the pressure difference
not change again.
NOTE: It is very difficult to measure the very low pressures experienced at low fire,
and it may be necessary to rely on visual inspection. This is especially true when
gas turndowns in excess of 10:1 are being used. The main intent is to provide a
clean stable flame with a good flame signal that will not cause the furnace
temperature to overshoot.
8. Verify the Gas Settings: Make sure that all settings are still the same after cycling,
the system several times between high and low fire.
10.9 start burner
1. Start blower.
2. Open all the valves including automatic and manual valves.
3. Start ignition procedure.
4. Confirm the ignition procedure finished then control valve opening is controlled
by 4-20mA.
10.10 Stop Procedure
Do not turn the combustion air blower off until the chamber temperature is below
120°C. This will prevent hot gases from back flowing into the burner and blower
causing damage to the burner.
1. Stop the burner through the burner control system.
2. Run the combustion air blower until the chamber temperature drops below 80 °C.
3. Shut off the combustion air blower.

4. Close all manual gas valves to the burner
11.Burner Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is the key to a reliable, safe and efficient combustion system. The
core of any preventive maintenance system is a list of periodic tasks. These are guidelines
only. The customer should make the final determination on maintenance intervals and
tasks to be performed while considering the working environment.
System regular safety audit must be taken out, including gas leakage check no longer than
every half a year. If necessary, the frequency of audit should be increased. Leak detection,
control functions of the equipment must be included in the scope of audit. Only Anderson
technicians or those who are been trained and qualified by Anderson, as well as other
relevant professionals, can maintain the burners. All valves, especially ball valves, must be
slowly open or close when switching in order to prevent pressure shock in pipe.
11.1 Half a year checklist
–Inspect the flame sensing devices for good condition and cleanliness.
–Check for proper air and gas pressures.
–Test all the system alarms for proper response signals.
–Check and clean igniter electrodes.
–Check valve motors and control valves for free, smooth action and adjustment.
–Check for the proper operation of ventilating equipment.
–Test the interlock sequence on all safety equipment. Manually force each interlock
to intentionally fail while at the same time noting if related equipment closes or
stops as specified by the manufacturer. Test the flame safeguard by manually
shutting off the gas to the burner.
–Test the manual gas shut off cocks for proper operation.
–Inspect and clean the combustion air blower rotor. Clean and/or replace the
combustion air blower filter if applicable.
11.2 Yearly checklist
–Leak test the safety shut-off valves and pipe for tightness of closure to make sure
no leakage.
–Test the pressure switch settings by checking the switch movements against
pressure settings and comparing these with the actual impulse pressure.
–Visually check igniter cable and connectors.
–Be sure the burner bodies and air wings, the ignite and the flame sensors are not
damaged or distorted.
