Fan and Air box
17.1
Function
The function of the Fan A (Fig. 17.1) is to force the mix-
ture of air and gas into the burner.
The function of the Air box B is to mix the gas and the
air in the right proportion.
The flow rate of the air---gas mixture and consequently
the input power of the boiler is proportional to the speed
of the fan that is controlled by the electronic control
p.c.b.
