 FUEL SUPPLY

GAS TRAIN

The burners are fitted with a butterfly valve to regulate the

fuel, controlled by a variable profile cam servomotor.
Fuel can be supplied either from the right or left hand sides.
A maximum gas pressure switch stops the burner in case
of excess pressure in the fuel line.

The gas train can be selected to best fit system requirements

depending on the fuel output and pressure in the supply
line.
The gas train can be “Multibloc” type (containing the main
components in a single unit) or “Composed” type (assembly
of the single components).

 SELECTING THE FUEL SUPPLY LINES

The following diagram enables pressure drop in a pre-existing gas line to be calculated and to select the
correct gas train.
The diagram can also be used to select a new gas line when fuel output and pipe length are known. The
pipe diameter is selected on the basis of the desired pressure drop. The diagram uses methane gas as
reference; if another gas is used, conversion coefficient and a simple formula (on the diagram) transform
the gas output to a methane equivalent (refer to figure A). Please note that the gas train dimensions must
take into account the back pressure of the combustion chamber during operations.

Control of the pressure drop in an existing gas line or selecting a new gas supply line.
The methane output equivalent is determined by the formula fig. A on the diagram and the conversion
coefficient.

Once the equivalent output has been determined on the delivery scale ( V ), shown at the top of the
diagram, move vertically downwards until you cross the line that represents the pipe diameter; at this
point, move horizontally to the left until you meet the line that represents the pipe length.
Once this point is established you can verify, by moving vertically downwards, the pipe pressure drop
of on the botton scale below (mbar).
By subtracting this value from the pressure measured on the gas meter, the correct pressure value will
be found for the choice of gas train.
Example: - gas used G25
- gas output 9.51 mc/h
- pressure at the gas meter 20 mbar
- gas line length 15 m
- conversion coefficient 0.62 (see figure A)
- equivalent methane output V = 9.51 = 15.34 mc/h
0.62
- once the value of 15.34 has been identified on the output scale ( V ), moving vertically downwards you
cross the line that represents 1" 1/4 (the chosen diameter for the piping);
- from this point, move horizontally to the left until you meet the line that represents the length of 15 m
of the piping;
- move vertically downwards to determine a value of 1.4 mbar in the pressure drop botton scale;
- subtract the determined pressure drop from the meter pressure, the correct pressure level will be found
for the choice of gas train;
- correct pressure = ( 20-1.4 ) = 18.6 mbar

 HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT

The burners are fitted with three valves (a safety

valve and two oil delivery valves) along the oil line
from the pump to the nozzle.
A thermostatic control device, on the basis of required
output, regulates oil delivery valves opening, allowing
light oil passage trough the valves and to the nozzle.
Delivery valves open contemporary to the air damper
opening, controlled by a servomotor.
The pumping group is fitted whit a pump, an oil filter
and a regulating valve: through this it is possible to
manually adjusts atomised pressure, which in factory
is preset at 12 bar.

 VENTILATION

The ventilation circuit produces low

noise levels with high
performances pressure and air
output, in despite of the compact dimensions.
The special design of the air suction circuit and the use of sound-
proofing material keeps noise level very low.
A variable profile cam connects the fuel and air regulations,
ensuring high fuel efficiency at all firing ranges.
A minimum air pressure switch stops the burner when there is
an insufficient quantity of air at the combustion head.

Example of the servomotor for air/gas setting

COMBUSTION HEAD

Different lengths of the combustion

head can be chosen for the
RLS/M MX series of burners.
The choice depends on the thickness of the front panel and the
type of boiler.
Depending on the type of generator, check that the penetration
of the head into the combustion chamber is correct.
The internal positioning of the combustion head can easily be
adjusted to the maximum defined output by adjusting a screw
fixed to the flange.

note The burners of RLS/M MX series are not suitable to be

installed on boiler with “reverse flame chamber”.

 ADJUSTMENT

BURNER OPERATION MODE

The RLS/M MX series of burners can

have “two stage” operation at the oil
side and “modulating” operation at
the gas side with the installation of a
PID logic regulator and respective
probes. When burner is supplied with
light oil a modulation ratio of 2:1 is
reached thanks to the “two nozzles”
solution; when burner is supplied with
gas modulation ratio is 6:1.
The air is adapted to the servomotor
rotations. Example of a regulator

On “two stage” operation, the burner

gradually adjusts output to the
requested level, by varying between
the two pre-set levels (see picture A).

 EMISSIONS

The emission data has been measured at maximum output,

according to EN 676 and EN 267 standard.
The NOx emissions of RLS/M MX burners are conforming
to class 3 of EN 676 (gas) and Class 2 of EN 267 (oil).

Combustion head operating diagram of RLS/M MX model

In the RLS/M MX burners part of
the gas is distributed through
outlets which are perpendicular to
the air flow, while the remaining
gas is injected directly into the
centre of the flame.
This prevents no homogeneous
concentrations in the flame with
areas of high oxidation,
producing very stable flame with
gradual and progressive
combustion as the flame develops,
thus giving polluting emission
values below even the most
restrictive norm values.

by qualified and skilled personnel.
All operations must be performed in accordance with the
technical handbook supplied with the burner.

BURNER SETTING

All the burners have slide bars, for easier installation

and maintenance.

After drilling the boilerplate, using the supplied

gasket as a template, dismantle the blast tube from
the burner and fix it to the boiler.

Adjust the combustion head.

Fit the gas train choosing this on the basis of the

maximum boiler output and following the diagrams
included in the burner instruction handbook.

Refit the burner casing to the slide bars.

Install the nozzle choosing this on the basis of the

maximum boiler output and following the diagrams
included in the burner instruction handbook.

Check the position of the electrodes.

Close the burner, sliding it up to the flange, keeping

it slightly raised to avoid the flame stability disk
rubbing against the blast tube.

ELECTRICAL AND HYDRAULIC

CONNECTIONS AND START UP

The burners are supplied for connection to two

pipes fuel supply system.

Connect the ends of the flexible pipes to the suction

and return pipework using the supplied nipples.

Make the electrical connections to the burner

following the wiring diagrams included in the
instruction handbook.

Prime the pump by turning the motor (after checking

rotation direction if it is a three phase motor).

Adjust the gas train for first start.

On start up, check:

- Pressure pump and valve unit regulator (to max.
and min.)
- Gas pressure at the combustion head (to max.
and min. output)
- Combustion quality, in terms of unburned
substances and excess air.
