Danger All work on the HeatEngine (e.g. maintenance and repair work) may only be carried out by qualified, expert personnel. DUNGS service personnel and our authorised specialist dealers fulfil this requirement. Danger The HeatEngine is a burner system in which gas and air are mixed and burnt in a controlled manner as a premix.

Danger The system includes a fan with rotating parts. When working on the system/machine, wait until all parts have come to a standstill. Wear appropriate clothing or keep your distance during operation DUNGS HeatEngine® Page 5 from 39 2024-01-31...
From 117 kW / 400 kBTU/H besides the visual indicator one proof of closure is needed. The use of a MBC is not possible, instead a DMV with FRNG (including Proof of closure) is used. DUNGS HeatEngine® Page 6 from 39 2024-01-31...

The burner head geometry and burner output must be selected according to the requirements. The modules and their possible combinations are illustrated graphically in the appendix using the poster (see Appendix 1). Available standard versions of the DUNGS HeatEngine are: Type Designation Item no.
An exception to this is if no other spare parts are available and the alternative has been previously accepted by DUNGS. DUNGS HeatEngine® Page 8 from 39...
Variants based on the type code The exact design of the existing DUNGS HeatEngine can be found in the type code (Figure 2). This indicates whether it is a point- or line-style burner head, the output of the burner system, the medium with which the system is operated and the region for which it was designed.

The gas volume is set to the desired mixture on the MBC at the integrated main volume throttle A and via the offset (adjusting screw B). The procedure for setting the main volume throttle on the MBC is described in 5.4 Commissioning and 6 Manufacturer settings. Further information can be DUNGS HeatEngine® Page 12 from 39 2024-01-31...

Figure 4 on the left, only minimally increases the temperature resistance. With this variant, it is important that the mounting flange and screws are not insulated. An inner lining, as shown in Figure 4 on the right, increases the temperature resistance to 450°C / 840F. DUNGS HeatEngine® Page 14 from 39 2024-01-31...

If the pad surface glows too much (significantly more than 50% glowing surface), this can lead to thermal overload of the pad surface. At the end of commissioning, check the connections and closures for leaks using a foaming agent and retighten if necessary. DUNGS HeatEngine® Page 18 from 39 2024-01-31...
Therefore, these values are given in the following table (Table 4) in addition to the design of the HeatEngine and the setting value of the main volume throttle. DUNGS HeatEngine® Page 19 from 39 2024-01-31...
(see documentation). The MPA burner control unit monitors the gas and mixture pressure, controls the automatic shut-off valves and monitors the formation of the flame. The output is specified in realtion to the lower heating value (LHV) DUNGS HeatEngine® Page 20 from 39 2024-01-31...
All maintenance and servicing work on the HeatEngine may only be carried out by qualified, expert personnel. DUNGS service personnel and our authorized specialist dealers fulfil this requirement. Carry out regular annual inspections to maintain and ensure functional safety. Observe the instructions for the components used.
To decommission, switch off the gas supply and power supply and close the gas ball valve. Once the intended service life has been reached or when the higher-level machine is decommissioned, the DUNGS HeatEngine can also be disposed of separately according to the components.
