SKP75 Air/Gas Ratio Controller The air/gas ratio controller, shown below, varies the gas pressure in response to changes in combustion air pressure to ensure that the air/gas ratio remains constant over the operating range of the burner. A separate gas pressure governor is not necessary. Two impulse pipes (both factory supplied) are connected to the air/gas ratio controller.

Valve Proving System Valve proving systems are standard on both MDFL 2800 burners. The standard model fitted is the Landis & Staefa LDU11. (See page 18) When the burner operating sequence is initiated the burner control box energises the proving system, which then carries out the following checks: The LDU11 control unit is designed to provide automatic gas valve proving (leakage test) based on the pressure proving principle.
MDFL burners use a single oil nozzle (see drg) within the inner assembly (refer to the Appendix). This nozzle is factory-specified to deliver optimum performance under the specified operating conditions. Any queries regarding the size of the nozzle should be referred to Nu-way. Fluidics W1 Nozzle The nozzle is held in position by the inner assembly lance, through which oil flows from the manifold block to the nozzle and recirculated through the spill regulating valve.
Page 21
The two oil nozzles (high and low fire) are held in a nozzle block located within the flame tube (refer to the Appendix). The nozzles are pre-sized by Nu-way in accordance with the heat inputs required and the available operating pressure.

CONTROL PANEL On MDFL 2800-38 and MDFL 2800-41 burners the enclosure mounted on the left side of the burner serves mainly as a housing for electrical connections, although it also contains the ignition transformers and carries the burner On/Off switch, the Hand/Auto switch, and the Inching switch required by modulating burners.
BURNER CONTROLLER : SIEMENS LFL 1 In the event of a fault condition the sequence disc stops rotating, with the symbol appearing above the indicator mark indicating the nature of the fault. If the fault leads to a lockout condition the Enlarged Detail of Sequence Indicator orange lockout indicator will be illuminated.
BURNER OPERATING SEQUENCE The MDFL burner operating sequence (refer to the controller sequence table below) begins with a pre-purge period on full air. When gas is selected, the fuel is then supplied to the burner at start rate and ignition initiated. Start gas flame proving is followed by establishment of the main flame. When oil is selected, on completion of the pre-purge period the appropriate oil valve or valves open, ignition is initiated and the flame is established.
MODULATING CONTROLS Controller The standard method of operation is based on the Landis & Staefa RWF40 Universal Controller, which has been designed for use on gas fired installation, where it provides temperature or pressure control of modulating burners with continuously adjustable fuel throughput. The control output of the RWF40 is a potential free 3-position switch, which is used for the control of reversible motors.
In the UK, it is a legal requirement that anyone working on gas installations, as defined in the “Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1994”, is CORGI registered. Nu-way can accept no responsibility for consequential loss, damage or injury which results from a failure to follow the commissioning instructions provided or from commissioning procedures being undertaken by unqualified personnel.
Inspection (cont..) Check that all relevant documentation is available, including, where appropriate: - The agreed plant performance specification - Plant drawings and pipework layouts - Certificates confirming satisfactory completion of procedures such as soundness testing, purging and electrical safety tests. - Commissioning, operating, emergency shutdown and maintenance instructions for the plant.
COMMISSIONING : OIL Burner Dry Run – MDFL 2800-41 The following procedure should be followed. It is important that a complete and flawless dry run be completed before fuel is supplied to the system: Check that the gas, oil and electrical supplies to the burner are turned off. Turn the fuel selector switch on the control panel to the oil position.
Burner Live Run – MDFL 2800-41 The instructions in this section are presented as a continuous sequence. No separate set of actions (for example, checking the flame signal) should be followed in isolation without paying particular attention to any safety precautions such as isolating the electrical supply to the burner which should precede such actions.
Page 33
Check the oil consumption. If this is not correct for the full burner rating, the oil cam must be adjusted as follows:- a. Inch the burner to low flame and note the spill pressure. b. To increase the minimum rate, adjust as shown on page 35. c.
Page 34
COMMISSIONING : OIL Burner Dry Run – MDFL 2800-38 Two Stage (High/Low) The following procedure should be followed. It is important that a complete and flawless dry run be completed before fuel is supplied to the system: Check that the gas, oil and electrical supplies to the burner are turned off. Turn the fuel selector switch on the control panel to the oil position.

Setting Main Flame Rates and Air/Gas Ratios From this point the gas commissioning process is concerned with setting the main and start gas flow rates to appropriate values and ensuring that the combustion quality of the system is within acceptable limits. During this process: AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT check the flue gas analysis and gas flow rate.
Page 40
Changing the low fire setting on the air/gas ratio controller will have a slight effect on the high fire setting. It may therefore be necessary to repeat steps 13 to 15 several times in order to achieve acceptable levels of CO at both firing rates.
FINAL COMMISSIONING STAGE – OIL AND GAS Checking the Flame Signal Remove the control panel cover and disconnect the flame signal check link. Connect a DC micro-ammeter across the terminals. Establish the electrical supply to the burner and switch on the burner. Allow the burner to light and operate normally.
Modulating Control : Siemens RWF 40 Basic display The diagram below shows the RWF40 after switching on the supply voltage. This conditions is called the basic display. The actual valve and the currently active set-pint are shown here. Manual operation, self-optimisation, the operating parameter and configuration levels can be activated from here.
Final Checks Check that all covers have been replaced and that all locking devices are secure. Check the operation of the appliance control instruments and safety interlocks. Ensure that the appliance safety controls and any other interlocks are set to safe limits. COMMISSIONING IS NOW COMPLETE.
FUEL CHANGEOVER PROCEDURE Note that on completion of the commissioning procedure detailed above the burner is set for gas firing. The procedure to be followed when switching fuels during normal operation is as follows: Switching from Gas to Oil Switch off the burner and the electrical power supply to the burner. Close the manual gas isolation valve.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER AND FUEL SUPPLIES TO THE BURNER BEFORE CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE. Combustion Air Fan – All Models Remove the burner top cover to gain access to the combustion air fan. Clean the fan blades with a stiff brush, taking care not to damage them.
FAULT FINDING Any changes made in control settings as a result of identifying and remedying fault conditions as described below may necessitate partial or complete recommissioning. Recommissioning shall be undertaken only by appropriately qualified and experienced personnel. Burner Motor Fails to Start Fan Starts and Burner goes to Lockout 1.
