Gas side pressure drops
Gas pressure on the basis of the maximum output developed by
the burner is given by the curves in Fig. 6.
It represents the pressure drop in the combustion head.
Natural gas G 20 - N.C.V. = 10 kWh/Nm
The curves were taken in the following conditions:
•
pressure measured at the test point on the pressure switch
downstream from the gas butterfly valve;
•
combustion chamber at 0 mbar;
•
burner working at full output.
