Maintenance
8.1
Notes on safety for the maintenance
The periodic maintenance is essential for the good operation,
safety, yield and duration of the burner.
It allows you to reduce consumption and polluting emissions and
to keep the product in a reliable state over time.
The maintenance interventions and the calibration
of the burner must only be carried out by qualified,
authorised personnel, in accordance with the con-
DANGER
tents of this manual and in compliance with the
standards and regulations of current laws.
Before carrying out any maintenance, cleaning or checking oper-
ations:
8.2
Maintenance programme
8.2.1
Maintenance frequency
The combustion system should be checked at
least once a year by a representative of the man-
ufacturer or another specialised technician.
8.2.2
Checking and cleaning
The operator must use the required equipment
during maintenance.
Combustion
The optimum calibration of the burner requires an analysis of the
flue gases.
Significant differences with respect to the previous measure-
ments indicate the points where most care should be exercised
during maintenance.
Combustion head
Open the burner and make sure that all components of the com-
bustion head are in good condition, not deformed by the high
temperatures, free of impurities from the surroundings and cor-
rectly positioned.
Fan
Check to make sure that no dust has accumulated inside the fan
or on its blades, as this condition will cause a reduction in the air
flow rate and provoke polluting combustion.
Boiler
Clean the boiler as indicated in its accompanying instructions in
order to maintain all the original combustion characteristics in-
tact, especially the flue gas temperature and combustion cham-
ber pressure.
Maintenance
Disconnect the electrical supply from the burner
by means of the main system switch.
DANGER
Turn off the fuel interception tap.
DANGER
Wait for the components in contact with heat
sources to cool down completely.
Pump
If the pressure is unstable, or the pump runs noisily, the flexible
hose must be detached from the line filter and the fuel must be
sucked from a tank located near the burner. This measure per-
mits the cause of the anomaly to be traced to either the suction
line or the pump.
If the problem lies in the suction line, check the filter is clean and
that air is not entering the piping.
Filters
Check the filtering baskets on line and at nozzle present in the
system.
Clean or replace if necessary.
If rust or other impurities are observed inside the pump, use a
separate pump to lift any water and other impurities that may
have deposited on the bottom of the tank.
Nozzles
It is advisable to replace nozzles every year during regular main-
tenance operations.
Do not clean the nozzle openings.
Hoses
Check that these are in good conditions.
Fuel tank
Approximately every 5 years, suck any water on the bottom of the
tank using a separate pump.
Combustion
In case the combustion values found at the beginning of the inter-
vention do not respect the standards in force or, in any case, do
not correspond to a proper combustion, contact the Technical As-
sistant in order to carry out the necessary adjustments.
Leave the burner working without interruptions for 10 min. and set
rightly all the components stated in this manual.
Then carry out a combustion check verifying:
–
Smoke temperature at the flue;
–
Percentage of CO
–
CO content (ppm);
–
Smoke value according to opacity smokes index according to
Bacharach scale.
