Functional characteristics and structure

5 Functional characteristics and structure


5.1 Functional characteristics
The gas fired igniter is a device whose flame is designed to ignite
and support a main burner. A high voltage is generated from an
input voltage (mains voltage), which generates an ignition spark at
the gas nozzle. The resulting flame generates a flame signal via
the flame rod. This flame signal is amplified in the ionisation flame
monitor and enables the main burner.

5.2 Structure

5 Air pressure test nipple 15 Mixing chamber
6 Outer tube 16 Mounting flange
7 Intermediate support ring with two ceramic 17 Earth rod

8 Connecting rods

The gas fired igniter comprises the following main components:


 the totally sealed power head (1), in which the spark
transformer and the ionisation flame monitor are mounted,
 the complete outer tube (6), incl. mixing chamber (15) and
mounting flange (16) with air port (14),
 the gas tube (9) and the gas nozzle (11),
 the final electrode support ring (10) with two ceramic insulators
(18), ignition electrode (12), flame rod (13) and earth rod (17).

Gas fired igniter ZX/PA1 // ZX/PDA1

Functional characteristics and structure

The outer tube (6) is screwed to the power head (1) and can be
removed or depending on the position of the air supply pipe can be
turned by 90°.
The gas port (2) can be on the top or bottom. The unused opening
is sealed off by a sealing screw, into which a gas pressure testing
nipple (3) is screwed.
The final electrode support ring (10) is fastened on the end of the
gas tube (9).
The flame rod (13) and the ignition electrode (12) are extended by
connecting rods (8). These connecting rods are guided through the
floor of the transformer housing and are supported around every
300 mm by intermediate support rings (7).

5.3 Flame monitoring


The flame is monitored by the flame rod, which must immerse in
the direction of the flame. Alternating voltage is applied to this
flame rod. The burning flame creates an electrically conductive
connection to the igniter earth and at the same time acts as a
rectifier for the ionisation current. This direct current signal is
measured and amplified in the ionisation flame monitor. The
enforced flame signal activates the flame relay with one SPDT
contact (only series ZX/PDA…).

5.3.1 Safety time (flame failure detection time FFDT)


The safety time is the response time of the ionisation flame monitor
as the reaction to a failure of the flame signal (flame sensor
current) and as a result of that the clearing switch of the terminals
for the „flame-on“ signal. The standard safety time is ≤ 1 s (optional
3 or 5 s).

REMARK!
- In the case of a flame monitor exchange, steps
must be taken to ensure that the set safety times
of he devices are identical. The default safety
times is indicated on a type plate of the
transformer part front panel.
- To assess the permitted maximum safety time,
please observe the established safety norm for
which the operator is responsible.
- The default safety times may not be altered, as
this will lead to loss of type approval!

Installation and initial commissioning

REMARK!
The gas fired igniter must be connected by the
owner to the plant control system in accordance
with the terminal diagrams.

REMARK!
The high-voltage ignition spark can suppress the
ionization signal to such a degree that the flame
relay is not able to pick up. For this reason, the
plant control system must ensure that the ignition
voltage (“spark transformer” terminal) is switched
off before the end of the ignition safety period (see
EN standard 298). This ensures a short ignition-
free period (approx. 0.5 s).

6.4 Setting the required air volume


 This may only be performed by trained personnel.
 Required special tools:
 Customarily available pressure gauge with a measurement
range of 0 – 200 mbar
REMARK!
The required air operating pressure depends -
among other things- on the desired gas operating
pressure.
The calculation formula outlined in step 1 refers to
a normal case, i.e. the gas operating pressure is
1000 mbar above the combustion chamber back
pressure.
Any gas operating pressure deviating from this
standard case will require an adaptation of the air
operating pressure.

1. Define the air operating pressure:


A air inlet pressure of 20 mbar plus another 13 mbar for every
m of tube length is required. A gas fired igniter with a tube
length of 5 m should therefore be supplied with
20 mbar + (5 x 13 mbar), i.e. 85 mbar in total (any
backpressures need to be taken into account).

2. Turn the Allen screw (size 2.5) in the centre of the air pressure
1
test nipple (1) 1 /2 turns counter clockwise in order to open
the air pressure test nipple.
3. Connect the pressure gauge to the air pressure test nipple (1).
4. Open the air supply (only on initial commissioning).
5. Reduce the air operating pressure / the air volume using the
air regulating sleeve to the length-dependent value, so at the
same time also compensating for any combustion chamber
back pressure.

Fig. 13: Air pressure test nipple REMARK!


In case of a varying combustion chamber back
pressure with fluctuations greater than 20 %,
integrate an air-side differential pressure regulator.

6. After measurement, remove the pressure gauge.
