5. Items to remember when putting equipment
into service
5.1 Exhaust gas temperature
The exhaust gas temperature should be within
the range of 160°C to 200°C. At temperatures
below 160°C there is a risk of condensate
sooting. It is therefore important to make sure the
stack meets the relevant specifications. The
instructions issued by the boiler manufacturer on
minimum exhaust gas temperature must also be
complied with.
5.2 Harmonization of burner, boiler and stack.
A prerequisite of faultless combustion is a
constant combustion chamber pressure, since
the burner fan output depends on a certain
counterpressure level. Pressure variations result
in air excess or deficiency. Installation of a
draught restriction valve or secondary air
system is necessary to achieve a constant
combustion chamber pressure. The stack cross-
section dimension must also be appropriate.
Stack and burner monitoring and heating
engineers can provide technical expertise
concerning the dimensioning of stacks and
secondary air systems.
5.3 Exhaust gas thermometer
Installation of an exhaust gas thermometer or
continuous monitoring of the exhaust gas
temperature using thermometers available from
technical suppliers is recommended. An
appropriate measuring point is the control
opening for stack and burner engineers in the
exhaust gas tube. A rise in exhaust gas
temperature exceeding 30°C indicates initial
formation of deposits in the boiler, which result in
sub-optimum operation of the heating system.
The burner setting should be controlled and
cleaning of the boiler considered. Reference
measurements must ensure that the boiler
temperatures are identical and that the burner
operating times prior to measurement are
approximately the same.
5.4 Operation timer
To control oil consumption, it is recommended
that the C1 burner be supplied with an operation
timer. When comparing oil consumption levels, it
must be taken into account that the external
temperature curve over given months or years
influences the measurement results.
5.5 Fuels
The Tempratec C1 burner is tested and
approved for the fuels heating oil EL and
rapeseed oil acc. to E-DIN 51605:2005-06 (RK
Quality Standard).
5.6 Information concerning the operations
room
The burners may only be installed in rooms in
which air contamination with halogenated
hydrocarbons can be expected, such as
hairdresser businesses, printing businesses,
chemical dry-cleaners, laboratories, etc. if a
sufficient volume of uncontaminated combustion
air is available. The burners may not be operated
in rooms with high levels of dust or humidity, e.g.
washrooms. The heating room must be protected
from frost and well ventilated. If these principles
are not complied with, warranties for any
damages will be nil and void.
