AIR REGULATION ON THE COMBUSTION HEAD
The combustion head is equipped with a regulating device which
closes and opens the air passage between the disk and the head. By
closing the passage it's possible to achieve high pressure upstream
the disk for low inputs as well. High velocity and turbulence ensure
a better penetration in the fuel, an optimum mixture and good flame
stability. It might be necessary to have high air pressure upstream
the disk in order to avoid flame pulsation and it's considered practi-
cally indispensable when the burner is operating with a pressurised
furnace and/or thermal load. It's evident from the above, that the
device which closes the air on the combustion head should be put
in such a position as to always obtain a decidedly high air pressure
value behind the disk. It's advisable to regulate in such a way as
to achieve a closing of the air on the head; this will necessitate a
considerable opening of the air shutter which regulates the flow to
the burner's fan suction. Obviously, these adjustments should be
carried out when the burner is operating at maximum delivery desi-
red. In practice, start regulating by putting the device which closes
the air on the combustion head in an intermediate position, start
up the burner and make trial adjustments as previously described.
When maximum delivery desired has been reached, proceed with
correcting the position of the device which closes the air on the
combustion head; move it backwards or forwards in such a way as

to obtain an air flow suitable to the delivery, with the air regulation
shutter in suction considerably open.
When reducing the air passage on the combustion head, avoid
closing it completely.
Check that ignition occurs regularly, because if the passage
!
between the disk and the head is closed, it could occur that
the air velocity is so high as to render ignition difficult. If this
happens, gradually open the regulator until it reaches the
correct position and ignition occurs regularly. This position
should be definitive. It should alsobe remembered that, for
the 1st flame, it is preferable to limit the quantity of air to that
which is strictly indispensable in order to have safe ignition
even in the most difficult circumstances.
