4.6 Firing rates

The PRESS G Model burners can work in two ways: one-stage

Combustion chamber pressure mbar


and two-stage.
In one-stage operation, only one control device is provided: TL
PRESS 1G - MIN (1st stage) = 11 - 22,5 kg/h D392
(See the wiring diagram on page 27).
The burner fires in the 1st stage, where it remains for 7 seconds
before passing to the 2nd stage when commanded by the control
box 7) (Fig. 7 on page 14).
When the boiler temperature or pressure exceeds the values set
on the control device TL, the burner shuts down.
MAX
In two-stage operation, two control devices are provided: TL and
TR. kg/h
The burner fires in the 1st stage but passes to the 2nd stage only

Combustion chamber pressure mbar


if control device TR is closed. Once the temperature or pressure
value set on control device TR has been reached, the burner re-
turns to the 1st stage. PRESS 2G - MIN (1st stage) = 18 - 30 kg/h D393

The burner shuts down only when the boiler temperature or pres-
sure exceeds the value set on control device TL, even if the burn-
er is still operating in the 1st stage.
Two-stage operation ensures reduced boiler temperature or
pressure fluctuation and consequently lower operating costs.

kg/h.
It is not necessary to know the pressure in the combustion cham-
ber in the 1st stage.
MAXIMUM 2ND STAGE DELIVERY (MAX) must be selected
within the range of the adjiacent diagrams. This area is known as
the FIRING RATE and provides the maximum delivery of the
burner according to the combustion chamber pressure. MAX
Example:
for the PRESS 1G Model, this area is delimited by: kg/h
– the 16 - 45 kg/h delivery line PRESS 4G - MIN (1st stage) = 35 - 70 kg/h D395
– the 0 +6,5 mbar combustion chamber pressure line
Combustion chamber pressure mbar

– the combustion chamber maximum pressure curve.


The work point may be found by plotting a vertical line from the
desired delivery and a horizontal line from the pressure in the
combustion chamber. The intersection of these two lines is the
work point which must lie within the FIRING RATE area.
Example:
if the PRESS 1G Model has a delivery of 30 kg/h at a combustion
chamber pressure of 4 mbar, the work point will be found on the MAX
maximum pressure curve.

The delivery of the burner to be coupled to the boiler must be se-

The burner can also operate in depression combustion cham-

The spray patterns in relation to the leading brands of nozzle on
sale are shown in (Tab. H).
The nozzle deliveries indicated in the Tab. G are the rated val-
ues. In reality, the delivery may differ by +/- 10% due to the rea-
sons below:
• tolerance values indicated by the manufacturer;
• temperature variation:
delivery decreases with a rise in temperature and vice-versa;
• variations in fuel viscosity:
delivery decreases with a decrease of viscosity and vice-ver-
sa.
A burner's exact delivery can only be determined by weighing.
Suck the fuel from a recipient mounted on a weighing machine,
or attach hoses to the nozzles and weigh the fuel that flows out.
A liter counter can be applied to the pump's suction line if a sin-
gle-pipe supply system has been provided.

NOTE:
Nozzle manufacturers discourage opening of the nozzle to
clean its internal parts and especially its calibrated hole. The
filter, on the other hand, may be cleaned or replaced as re-
quired. Grip the nozzle on its hexagonal part when handling.

– Install a filter on the suction lines with a transparent plastic

quick checking of the state of the filter. 4
– The return pipe does not require an on/off valve, but if the user
11 7 5 3
desires to insert one, a lever-type valve should be selected
which clearly indicates when the valve is open or closed (if the
burner starts with the return pipe closed, the sealing organ lo-
cated on the pump shaft will break). 9
– The opening of the burner or the boiler door must not twist the
flexible hoses that connect the copper pipes to the pump.

– If more than one burner is operating in the same room, each
one must be equipped with its own suction pipe; the return
pipe may be shared by all, providing it is sufficiently sized.

6.1 Notes on safety for the electrical wiring

 The electrical wiring must be carried out with the electrical supply disconnected.
 Electrical wiring must be carried out by qualified personnel and in compliance with the regulations currently in
force in the country of destination. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
DANGER  The manufacturer declines all responsibility for modifications or connections different from those shown in the
wiring diagrams.
 Do not invert the neutral with the phase in the electrical supply line. Any inversion would cause a lockout due to
firing failure.
 Check that the electrical supply of the burner corresponds to that shown on the identification label and in this
manual.
 The burners have been set for intermittent operation. This means they should compulsorily be stopped at least
once every 24 hours to enable the control box to perform checks of its own start-up efficiency. Normally the
boiler's thermostat/pressure switch ensures the stopping of the burner.
If this is not the case, it is necessary to apply in series with IN a timer switch that turns off the burner at least once
every twenty-four hours. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
 The electrical safety of the device is obtained only when it is correctly connected to an efficient earthing system,
made according to current standards. It is necessary to check this fundamental safety requirement. In the event
of doubt, have the electrical system checked by qualified personnel.
 The electrical system must be suitable for the maximum input power of the device, as indicated on the label and
in the manual, checking in particular that the section of the cables is suitable for the input power of the device.
 For the main power supply of the device from the electricity mains:
-do not use adapters, multiple sockets or extensions;
-use an omnipolar switch, as indicated by the current safety standards.
 Do not touch the device with wet or damp body parts and/or in bare feet.
 Do not pull the electric cables.
Before carrying out any maintenance, cleaning or checking oper-
ations:

disconnect the electrical supply from the burner by


means of the main system switch;

N.B. Excess air % = CO2 max : CO2 measured
CO2 max = 15,2%
Example CO2 measured = 13,5%
Excess air = 15,2 : 13,5 = 1,13 = 13%
Commercial boilers: emissions of Bacharach-CO2-CO-CxHy-
NOx must not exceed the limits imposed by locally-applicable
regulations for burner installations. In particular, the CO2 level
should not be higher than 13.5% in order to prevent variations in
the draught and air temperature or dirty burner conditions from
causing polluting combustion.
An insufficient CO2 level must also be avoided, since, in addition
to raising costs and falling short of the established range, this can
also be the cause for the generation of a dangerous quantity of
uncombusted hydrocarbons in the flue gas (yellow Bacharach)
and the detachment of the flame upon ignition.
The combustion values measured may be considered reliable
only if there are no entries of air between the burner and the stack
flue gas sampling point. Check for penetration of outside air by
placing a column of smoke near the suspected leak in the seal: if
the smoke column is drawn towards the seal there must be an en-
try of air.

– When the temperature or the pressure increases until the con-
trol device TR opens, the burner passes from the 2nd to the
1st stage of operation.
– When the temperature or pressure decreases until the control
device TR closes, the burner passes from the 1st to the 2nd
stage of operation, and so on.

Start-up, calibration and operation of the burner

7.9.3 Firing failure


If the burner does not fire, it goes into lock-out within 5 seconds
of the opening of the 1st stage solenoid valve and 30 seconds af-
ter the closing of control device TL.
The control box pilot light will light up.

7.9.4 Undesired shutdown during operation


If the flame goes out during operation, the burner shuts down au-
tomatically within 1 second and automatically attempts to start
again by repeating the starting cycle.

7.9.5 Final checks


• Shine a light on the photocell and close the control devices:
the burner should not start.
• Obscure the photocell while the burner is working: the burner
should stop and automatically repeat the starting operation.
• Switch off control device TL while the burner is operating: the
burner should stop.
• Switch off control device TS while the burner is operating: the
burner should stop.

as a consequence of depressurisation or air leaking past imper-

In double-pipe systems, the air returns to the tank from the return
pipe; in single-pipe systems, the air remains in circulation causing
pressure variations in the pump and burner malfunctions.
For this reason, we advise installing a degassing unit near the
burner in single-pipe installations.
