Combustion Adjustment March 2014
GENERALITY
COMBUSTION ADJUSTMENT
PROCEDURE
Generality
The adjustment is performed zone by zone and
can be divided into 4 steps:
1. Fuel gas balancing among the burners
2. Combustion air balancing among the
burners
3. k1, k2 coefficients adjustment (most
significant parameters)
4. Ra1 & Ra2 coefficients adjustment
(facultative).
Objective:
Adjust for each burner the fuel flow in order to
match the nominal burner power.
Procedure:
1. All pilot & main burners should fire.
2. Manually fix the fumes FCV wide open in
order to ensure enough air in each burner.
3. Manually open the fuel gas FCV at 100%
4. For each burner, adjust the throttle orifice in
order to match the required ∆Pr
(corresponding to the nominal flow).
5. Repeat the step 4 at least 2 times.
6. Verify that the zone gas flow matches the
zone nominal flow; if lower the feeding
pressure should be increased; a slightly
higher value would not be critical since the
burner flow-orifices are not of high accuracy
but are used for balancing.
Objective:
Adjust for each burner the air flow in order to
match a certain residual O2 content in fumes.
Procedure:
1. All pilot & main burners should fire.
2. The fumes extraction control loop should
work in automatic.
3. Manually open the fuel gas FCV in order to
reach the nominal fuel gas flow.
4. Switch off the “O2 correction” function.
5. Manually fix the fumes FCV opening in
order to read 5% of O2; in case the in-situ
analyser would not work, fix the fumes FCV
at 80%.
6. For each burner, insert the portable
analyser sampling tube deeply enough
underneath the burner’s recuperator (in
order to be upstream any possible air leak
ingress), adjust the air flap in order to
measure 6% O2; CO should be lower than
100 ppm.
