MODULATING OPERATION
Nu-way N modulating burners are similar in
construction and operation to the 2 stage High/
Low versions, utilising identical fan blower,
combustion head and gas train components.
The standard method of operation is based on the
Landis & Staefa RWF40 Universal Controller, which
provides temperature or pressure control of
modulating burners with continuously adjustable
fuel throughput.
The control output of the RWF40 is a potential
free, 3-position switch, which is used to control
the air damper motor.
When the boiler control calls for heat, the modulating
servomotor will travel to the high flame position and
interlock the control circuit. An air pre-purge will take
place at this position for a pre-determined period, at
the end of which the burner sequence controller will
stop until the modulating servo has travelled to the
low flame position and interlocked the control circuit
again. The sequence control will now recommence
its operational cycle and the burner will light and
remain at low flame until the high flame release signal
is given by the sequence control. The modulating
servo will now move to high flame and remain at this
position until the desired boiler temperature/pressure
is attained. From this stage the modulating unit will
commence to move towards the low flame position,
but, depending on the temperature/pressure, will stop
in any intermediate position between low and high
flame.
Burner Control Panel.
The control panel is fitted to the rear left hand side
of the burner fan casing. The panel is of the fully
enclosed type containing the fan motor starter,
relays, burner sequence control, RWF40
modulating controller. Access to the panel is
gained by loosening the two crosshead screws on
the right hand edge of the panel door. The door
may then be swung open to the left and removed
from its hinge pins if required.
Manual Operation
Check that the RWF40 controller is configured
correctly (refer to page 21). Press and hold the EXIT
key until the manual operation indicator
illuminates. The modulating motor can now be
inched using the increase & reduce buttons on
the controller face. Press and hold the EXIT key
until the manual operation indicator extinguishes
to return to automatic mode.
Temperature detector.
The immersion temperature detector type QAE22
is used in all Hot Water boiler applications. The
detector has a plastic casing to IP42 with a snap
on cover and an immersion stem. The connection
terminals can be accessed by removing the cover.
Cable entry is made via a cable entry gland Pg11.
In all applications an immersion pocket with a flat
seal is supplied.
The detector should be installed in an elbow such
that the pocket points against the direction of flow.
With all detector versions, the immersion length
must be a minimum of 60mm.
Pressure detector.
The Pressure sensor type QBE620 is used in all
Steam boiler applications. The sensor has an
aluminium casing to IP65 and a 2 metre long, 3
core connecting cable. The mounting instructions
supplied with the sensor are to be strictly adhered
to.
Gas controls.
The gas train is of the same type and design as fitted
to 2 stage high/low models.
SKP70 com ustion cham er impulse
connection.
The impulse connection to the combustion
chamber is not required in the majority of
applications and is therefore not supplied as part
of the burner package. This is because the
resistance of the combustion chamber / flue
assembly is assumed to remain constant and that
the pressure within this chamber will change in
proportion to the burner gas and combustion air
pressure. (As the burner output changes).
If, however, the pressure in the combustion
chamber does not change in proportion to the
burner gas or air pressure, i.e. the plant is fitted
with a flue gas fan, continuously operating flue gas
damper, or the chamber pressure changes from
negative to positive whilst moving from Low to High
flame, then a compensating circuit is required. This
means that the pressure in the combustion
chamber must be connected to the SKP70 so that
the controller can automatically offset the pressure
changes.
This compensating circuit should also be used if
pressure shocks and vibrations, which adversely
affect burner start up, develop in the combustion
chamber during the start up phase.
