Introduction CHAPTER 1 1.1 — Overview E series burners are assembled, wired, and tested at the factory. They are listed by the Underwriters Laboratory, CSD-1, NFPA-85, F.M., including the national Electrical Code (NEC), and associated insurance underwriters. Where applicable, the Canadian Gas Association (CGA) B149 and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) B140 codes shall prevail.
Introduction 1.3 — Operating Controls 1.3.1 — Control Panel The control panel contains a flame safeguard programming control, motor starters, relays, time delays, and terminal strips mounted internally on a panel sub-base. Lights, switches, potentiometers, a control circuit breaker, and flame safeguard displays are mounted externally on the panel.
Introduction 1.3.3 — Firing Rate Controls Regardless of the fuel used, burner input is fully modulated between low fire and high fire on boiler demand. The firing rate is controlled by the potentiometer-regulated modulating motor. The combustion air control damper, oil metering pump, and/or gas volume butterfly valve are controlled through variable rate rod and lever linkages.
Introduction 1.6 — Oil System Air Atomizing E Model burners use compressed air for atomization. Atomizing air is independent of combustion air. The system is supplied with a separate compressor module for mounting near the burner. 1.6.1 — 3-Way Solenoid Valve Metered oil enters the common port of the 3-way solenoid valve.
Introduction 1.6.5 — Oil Metering Fuel oil under nominal pressure in the circulating loop flows to the adjustable positive displacement (volumetric metering unit). Oil metering is accomplished by changing the piston stroke by means of an eccentric shaft and pin assembly.
Introduction Compressor Module and Burner FIGURE 1-3. 1.7 — Gas System Gas is introduced into the combustion zone from a circular manifold through multiple ports in the manifold. Firing rate is determined by the size and number of ports, by manifold pressure, and by combustion zone pressure. The firing rate is regulated by a rotary, butterfly-type throttling valve at the manifold inlet.
Introduction Component Description Gas Volume Valve The butterfly-type valve is positioned by linkage from the modulating motor and controls the rate of flow of the gas. Main Gas Valves Electrically operated safety shutoff valve(s) that open to admit gas to the burner. Standard U.L.
Introduction Main Gas Train (Model E126-E420) FIGURE 1-5. NOTE: These piping layouts are for reference only and are subject to change without notice. Optional equipment may change a layout. 1.7.2 — Pilot Gas Train Components Component Description Gas Pilot Valve A solenoid valve that opens during the ignition period to admit fuel to the pilot.
Introduction 1.7.3 — Operation Metered gas flows through the main gas shutoff cock, through the pressure regulator to the automatic gas valves and butterfly valve to the gas manifold. The butterfly gas valve modulates flow to burner input demand. The butterfly valve is positioned through mechanical linkage by the modulating motor.

Installation CHAPTER 2 2.1 — Application Electrical power available is usually 208 volt, 3-phase, 60 cycle, 230/460 volt, 3-phase, 60 cycle or 380 volt, 3-phase, 50 cycle. Control circuit is 115 volt, single phase, 60 cycle or 115 volt, single phase, 50 cycle. Refer to the electrical schematic diagram shipped with the burner.
Installation 2.3 — Combustion Chamber Recommendations and E Refractory Dimensions The combustion chamber dimensions should be proportioned to the heating load of the boiler. 2.3.1 - Watertube Boiler Dimensions 45° BURNER C (MIN) STANDARD FIREBRICK FLOOR 1-1/2" + A BLOCK INSULATION Combustion Chamber Dimensions (Watertube Boiler) FIGURE 2-1.
Installation 2.4 — Installation Caution The housing must be supported when in the open position to prevent damage to the hinges and other components. Caution The heat exchanger may have areas within the furnace susceptible to heat damage and may require furnace liner tile and refractory cement filler to adequately protect those surfaces.
Page 30
Installation When retrofitting a heat exchanger, if a flame-shaping dry oven was used with the previous burner, discard that dry oven. Dry Oven Installation: The face of the boiler and refractory dry oven flange must be sealed with asbestos-free ceramic fiber blanket or rope gasket to prevent emission-gas leakage.
Installation 2.5 — Separate Compressor Module For oil burners supplied with a separate compressor module, piping to the burner is installed. Earlier models have the oil cooler finned coil located below the damper. The earliest units used a coil in the blast tube, but piping to the compressor and tank is essentially similar.
Installation Typical Oil Supply Loop FIGURE 2-6. 2.7 — Oil Circulating Loop Operation An oil circulating pump provides continuous oil circulation to the circulation loop. A back pressure valve holds 10 to 15 psi on the loop system. With the oil supply line connected only to the oil metering pump inlet, all oil must pass through the pump.

Installation 2.8 — Circulating Oil Pump A circulating oil pump is required to deliver fuel oil from the storage tank to the burner at a minimum of 150% of the maximum burner firing rate. The excess oil allows a margin for piping error, viscosity changes in the fuel oil, and circulating pump wear.
Installation 2.11 — Installation Checklist All burners are carefully assembled and tested at the factory, but before being placed in service, all connectors should again be checked for looseness caused during shipment. Check: • Electrical terminals in the control panel and on all electrical components. •...
Operation CHAPTER 3 3.1 — Preparations for Starting When the installation is complete and all electrical, fuel, water, and vent stack connections are made, make certain said connections are tight. The operator should become familiar with the burner, boiler controls, and components. To identify controls and components, refer to contents of Chapter 1.
Operation 3.1.1 — Oil Flow Refer to piping diagrams. Open all valves in the oil suction and return line. The burner oil metering units are not capable of creating suction. Fuel oil must be supplied to the metering unit at a nominal 10 to 15 psi pressure by a circulating supply pump.
Operation 3.2.1 — Gas Fired Close the pilot and the main line manual gas valves. Start the burner and at the time of the pilot trial, with just the electrical ignition system energized, the flame relay should not pull in (be energized). Upon completion of successful test, proceed with startup procedures.
Operation Place the gas.oil selector switch in position for the desired fuel. With all limit and operating controls calling for heat, the burner will follow the Flame Safeguard Sequence. When the burner motor starts, open the gas cock. If firing on gas, when the main fuel lamp lights indicating pilot flame proven, slowly open the second shutoff cock downstream of the main gas valve(s).
Operation If a low water condition occurs, the burner shuts down as in Automatic Shutdown. If a high or low gas pressure condition occurs while firing on gas, the burner shuts down as in Automatic Shutdown. A. Condition must be corrected and the respective gas pressure switch manually reset before the burner will fire again on gas.
Operation 3.8.2 — Oil Burners Set the fuel selector switch to “OIL.” On initial startup of a combination burner, it is recommended that oil firing be adjusted before gas firing. The gas low firing rate is set to match the oil low fire rate. Be sure the ON-OFF switch is in the “OFF”...
Page 43
Operation The fuel valve(s) de-energize and the flame extinguishes. The blower motor continues running during post-purge. At the end of post-purge, the blower motor is de-energized. The programmer returns to its starting position and stops. The unit is ready to restart. Abnormal shutdown might result from motor overload, flame outage, low water, current or fuel supply interruption, combustion or atomizing air pressure below minimum level, tripped circuit breakers, blown fuses, or other interlock devices.

Adjustments CHAPTER 4 4.1 — Overview While each burner is tested at the factory for correct operation before shipment, variable conditions such as burning characteristics of the fuel used and operating load conditions may require further adjustment after installation to assure maximum operating efficiency.
Adjustments 4.2.2 — Smoke Measurement Smoke measurements can be made using a variety of different methods. The standards will vary somewhat according to the equipment used, and instructions accompanying the instrument should be followed. Smoky combustion can result from: • Improper air delivery •...
Adjustments 4.4 — Gas System 4.4.1 — Gas Pressure Gas must be supplied at a pressure high enough to overcome the pressure loss in the burner gas train and furnace pressure while running at full input. Refer to nameplate inside control panel for gas pressure requirements at train inlet and manifold.
Adjustments 4.4.6 — High Gas Pressure Switch Turn the adjusting screw until the indicator moves to a pressure setting slightly above the maximum operating gas pressure. The control will break a circuit if pressure exceeds this value. The control should be adjusted to prevent operation with excessive gas pressure, but not at a pressure so close to normal operating pressure that unnecessary shutdowns occur.This switch must be manually reset after tripping.
Adjustments The nozzle is not plugged or carboned. This will show up as excessive primary air pressure. The oil bypass valve is not bypassing the metered fuel oil. Internal wear of the pump may take place due to the presence of dirt in the oil and in time this will result in excessive clearances which reduce the pump capacity.
Adjustments of change. The closer the rod to the hub of the lever, the less distance it will travel.Increasing the lever length on the damper, metering unit and valve(s) decreases flow rate. 4.7 — Cam Trim Adjustment After low and high fire adjustments are complete, final adjustment is made with the cam assembly to obtain a good air/ fuel ratio throughout the entire firing range.The input of combustion air is fixed at any given point in the modulating cycle.
Adjustments actuators for fuel, air, and FGR (if so equipped) will be coordinated to provide optimum combustion throughout the firing range. 4.9 — Firing Rate Controls Firing rate adjustments are made at the modulating motor linkages to the combustion air inlet damper, air-oil metering pump, and main gas butterfly valve.

Adjustments 4.10 — Dual Manifold Systems Certain models may use a dual-gas manifold for optimal gas/air mixing. These systems use two gas-metering-butterfly valves to control the gas flow into their respective manifolds as shown in Figure 4-3. The Secondary valve controls the low-to-mid-fire gas and the Primary valve controls the mid-to-high-fire gas.

Maintenance CHAPTER 5 5.1 — Overview Warning Any cover plates, enclosures, or guards anchored to the burner, or any burner related equipment, must remain in position at all times. Only during maintenance and service shutdown can these cover plates, enclosures, or guards be removed. They must be replaced, and securely anchored before testing, adjusting, or running the burner or burner related equipment.
Maintenance 5.2.1 — Programming Control This control requires no adjustment, nor should any attempt be made to alter contact settings or timing logic. Those programmers with contacts may require occasional cleaning. If so, follow instructions given in the manufacturer's bulletin. Never use abrasive materials. The manufacturer's bulletin also contains troubleshooting information. The flame detector lens should be cleaned as often as conditions demand.
Maintenance 5.5 — Pilot and Ignition Electrode The ignition transformer requires little attention other than making sure the ignition wire is firmly attached to the transformer and the electrode. Be sure the wire insulation is in good condition and not grounded. Failure to keep the ignition electrode clean and properly set can cause faulty operation.
Maintenance To insure proper atomizing, the tip must be screwed in tightly with the swirler seating spring pressing the swirler tight against the nozzle tip. Turn the swirler a few times to be sure it fits snugly in the nozzle and the spring is pressing the two parts firmly together.
Maintenance 5.9 — Firing Rate Controls Check all rods and linkages, Make sure all connections are tight. Adjust if necessary. Perform a combustion test as explained in Chapter 4, and readjust the burner if necessary. 5.10 — Burner Mounting Inspection The seal between the burner flange and furnace front plate must not permit combustion gases to escape.
Maintenance Caution Do not attempt to disassemble the oil metering pump in the field. Any attempt will void the warranty or the exchange policy. 5.12 — Primary Compressor System 5.12.1 — Primary Compressor The air compressor itself requires little maintenance, however, its life is dependent upon sufficient clean, cool lubricating oil.
Maintenance 5.12.4 — Oil Level Sight Gauge The oil level sight gauge can be cleaned by removing it from the air-oil tank and soaking it in a detergent solution. If cleaning the gauge proves unsatisfactory, replace it. 5.12.5 — Compressor Oil Filter (Lube Oil Strainer) The lube oil strainer prevents foreign materials from entering the compressor.
Maintenance Should it become necessary to replace the complete valve, be sure that the flow is in the direction of the arrow on the body. Test for gas leaks and check valve action several times to ensure proper operation before attempting to relight the burner.
Maintenance The fuel valves de-energize within four seconds after the main burner ignition trial ends. The control will lock out on a safety shutdown. The flame failure light (and optional alarm) will be activated. The blower motor will run through the post-purge and stop.
Maintenance 5.17 — Recommended Maintenance Schedule Item Service By Remarks DAILY Gauges, Monitors, Indicators Operator Make visual inspection and record readings in log. Instrument & Equipment Settings Operator Make visual check against recommended specifications. Low Water, Fuel Cutoff & Alarms Operator Refer to instructions.
