OIL BURNER SETTINGS

EK1 Boilers are shipped from the factory preset for 0.85 GPH firing rate and EK2 Boilers are shipped from the
factory preset for 1.40 GPH firing rate. The SYSTEM 2000 Boiler can be fired over a range of firing rates to suit the
needs of the application. The following table lists approximate settings for oil burners based on testing performed at
Energy Kinetics.
CAUTION: Final settings for each burner and firing rate for a particular installation must be determined by using
combustion test equipment and following the instructions given under "Start Up Procedure".
CAUTION: Because the energy converter removes heat from the combustion flue gas so efficiently, low firing rates
may not provide high enough flue gas temperature for proper draft in a chimney. The Columns labeled 'Chimney' and
'Sidewall' show the suitability of the firing rate for a particular combination.

OIL BURNER MOUNTING

SYSTEM 2000 Boilers are shipped from the factory with the oil burner pre-mounted. The burner flanges are
designed to insert the burner head 2-3/8" into the boiler. Energy Kinetics installs a ceramic sleeve, (the amulet),
to protect the burner head from the heat of combustion, and then seals the air tube flange joint with a high grade
retort cement. NOTICE: Oil burners for field installation or for field replacement should be installed according to
burner manufacturer instructions, according to installation instructions below, and with consultation with Energy
Kinetics for any special considerations or adjustments.
Follow these instructions for field installation of Energy Kinetics supplied burners. Start by checking nozzle and
electrode position per manufacturer's specifications prior to assembly to unit. Test fit the amulet by inserting the
amulet into the boiler opening. If the amulet doesn't easily slide into the boiler, then gently sand the outside
diameter of the amulet until it will fit into the boiler opening. Test fit the amulet onto the burner head. Note that
the amulet designed for the Beckett AFG burner has interior slots to accept the screws on the sides of the head.
The amulet for the Beckett AFG has a small drain hole in the front face, which must be mounted at the bottom (at
6 o'clock position). The amulet for the Carlin burner has smooth interiors. If the amulet is a tight fit on the burner
head, then slightly moisten inside the amulet with water.
Place a 3/8" bead of retort cement onto the burner head at the flange to air tube joint, and slide the
(moistened) amulet over the burner head and against the flange. Ensure proper seating of the amulet by pressing
the amulet onto the burner with a flat object. Leave the excess retort cement at the amulet to flange joint and the
cement will provide an airtight seal of the air tube flange to the boiler face.
The Beckett amulet has an inside edge that will cover the edge of the Beckett burner head. The Beckett
retention head air slots must not be blocked or obstructed by the amulet. If needed, trim a 45 degree chamfer on
the inside of the amulet using a sharp utility knife and maintain a 1/8" clearance to retention head air slots. The
Carlin amulets do not have an edge and when fully seated the amulets will be flush with the front of the Carlin
burner heads. If needed, trim the front edge of the amulet to be flush with the front of the burner head.
Once the amulet has been seated and trimmed, then install the burner into the boiler by carefully inserting the
air tube with amulet into the boiler opening while aligning the burner flange holes with the boiler studs. Install flat
washers and nuts onto the boiler studs and tighten all nuts evenly.
