Maintenance
7.1
Notes on safety for the maintenance
The periodic maintenance is essential for the good operation,
safety, yield and duration of the burner.
It allows you to reduce consumption and polluting emissions and
to keep the product in a reliable state over time.
The maintenance interventions and the calibration
of the burner must only be carried out by qualified,
authorised personnel, in accordance with the con-
tents of this manual and in compliance with the
DANGER
standards and regulations of current laws.
7.2
Maintenance programme
7.2.1
Maintenance frequency
The gas combustion system should be checked at
least once a year by a representative of the man-
ufacturer or another specialised technician.
7.2.2
Safety test - with gas ball valve closed
It is fundamental to ensure the correct execution of the electrical
connections between the gas solenoid valves and the burner to
perform safely the commissioning.
For this purpose, after checking that the connections have been
carried out in accordance with the burner's electrical diagrams,
an ignition cycle with closed gas ball valve -dry test- must be per-
formed.
1
The manual ball gas valve must be closed
2
The electrical contacts of the burner limit switch need to be
closed
3
Ensures closed the contact of the low gas pressure switch
4
Make a trial for burner ignition.
The start-up cycle must be as follows:
–
Starting the fan for pre-ventilation
–
Performing the gas valve seal control, if provided
–
Completion of pre-ventilation
–
Arrival of the ignition point
–
Power supply of the ignition transformer
–
Electrical Supply of solenoid gas valves
Since the manual gas ball valve is closed, the burner will not light
up and its control box will go to a safety lockout condition.
The actual electrical supply of the solenoid gas valves can be ver-
ified by inserting a tester.
Some valves are equipped with light signals (or close/open posi-
tion indicator) that turn on at the same time as their power supply.
Maintenance
Before carrying out any maintenance, cleaning or checking oper-
ations:
Disconnect the electrical supply from the burner
by means of the main system switch.
DANGER
Close the fuel interception tap.
DANGER
Wait for the components in contact with heat
sources to cool down completely.
IF THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY OF THE GAS
VALVES OCCURS AT UNEXPECTED TIMES,
DO NOT OPEN MANUAL GAS BALL VALVE,
SWITCH OFF POWER LINE; CHECK THE
WARNING
WIRES; CORRECT THE ERRORS AND RE-
PEAT THE COMPLETE TEST.
7.2.3
Checking and cleaning
The operator must use the required equipment
during maintenance.
Combustion
The optimum calibration of the burner requires an analysis of the
flue gases. Significant differences with respect to the previous
measurements indicate the points where more care should be ex-
ercised during maintenance.
Combustion head
Open the burner and make sure that all the components of the
combustion head are undamaged, not deformed due to high
temperature, free of ambient dirt or dust, free of rusted materials
and adequately positioned.
Make sure that the gas outlet holes for the start-up, on the com-
bustion head distributor, are free of dirt or rust deposits. If in
doubt, disassemble the elbow (Fig. 40 at page 58).
Fan
Check to make sure that no dust has accumulated inside the fan
or on its blades, as this condition will cause a reduction in the air
flow rate and provoke polluting combustion.
Burner
Clean the outside of the burner.
