    2.5 Gas burner unit Direct fired gas burners are used on all MCD-series dehumidifiers. The burner operates on natural gas or propane (option) and uses the reactivation air to supply the oxygen necessary for combustion. A correct reactivation airflow is therefore essential to ensure that the burner operates efficiently. For optimal performance, the reactivation air must contain minimum 20 % oxygen.

  • Page 18: Burner Safety Control Unit

    2.8 Burner safety control unit The burner safety control unit is located in the electrical panel, see Figure 2.3 . The control unit ensures safe ignition, start-up and shut-down during both normal operation and if a fault occurs. It is equipped with a self-checking flame monitoring circuit that controls the combustion process. The flame monitoring circuit applies the necessary safety measures if the flame signal occurs to soon or not at all, and if any type of fault in the flame detector, detector cables or flame signal amplifier occurs.
  • Page 19: Programme Indicator

    2.8.2 Programme indicator The programme indicator shows the status of the burner. Since the programme indicator remains in the position where shutdown occurs, it gives valuable information that facilitates fault tracing. The different situations causing shutdown are indicated by the following symbols: Figure 2.12 Programme indicator Symbol Description...
  • Page 20: Flame Detection

    2.8.3 Flame detection A flame detection probe is used to verify that a flame is present. The detection probe consists of a metal electrode which is positioned in the flame. The burner's control unit senses the existence, or not, and condition of the flame during start-up and normal operation.
  • Page 21 Variable speed The frequency converter for the process fan is controlled either by flow or pressure. At flow control, a pressure sensor measures the pressure difference over the inlet cone on the process fan. At pressure control, a pressure sensor measures the air pressure in the dry air duct. The actual value from the pressure sensor is calculated, together with the fan coefficient, by the PLC in the control system.
