4.14.3 Gas pressure
The Tab. K shows minimum pressure losses along the gas supply
line depending on the maximum burner output operation.
The values shown in the Tab. K refer to natural gas (GCV).
Column 1
Pressure loss at combustion head.
Gas pressure measured at the test point 1)(Fig. 29), with:
–
combustion chamber at "WC;
–
burner working at maximum output;
–
combustion head adjusted as in the diagram of Fig. 20 at
page 27.
Column 2
Pressure loss at gas butterfly valve 2)(Fig. 29) with maximum
opening: 90°.
Calculate the approximate maximum output of the burner as fol-
lows:
–
subtract the combustion chamber pressure from the gas pres-
sure measured at test point 1)(Fig. 29);
–
find, in the Tab. K relating to the burner concerned, the pres-
sure value closest to the result of the subtraction;
–
read off the corresponding output on the left.
Example for RLS 500/EV FGR:
•
Maximum output operation
•
Gas pressure at test point 1)(Fig. 29)
•
Pressure in combustion chamber
An output of 15148 MBtu/hr shown in Tab. K corresponds to
9.7 "WC pressure, column 1.
This value serves as a rough guide, the effective delivery must be
measured at the gas meter.
