IMPORTANT
Throughout this publication Dunphy Combustion Limited are referred to as `The Company`.
The manual, which is supplied with every burner should be read prior to the installation of the unit.
While giving information on the site work involved and on the burner commissioning procedure,
the content cannot include all of the data which may be necessary to achieve the design output of a
burner to a particular appliance because of the wide variety of heating and process plant for which
the burner is suitable precludes this.
The Company strongly advises that the commissioning of the burners is carried out by Dunphy
trained engineers and points out that it may be impossible to impart all the necessary information to
enable others to do so.
Under all circumstances the provisions of The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are the most
important consideration and if any doubts exist concerning the safe operation of the burner, The
Company should be contacted for advice. This provision also applies to the legislation of countries
to which the burners may be exported.
Where equipment, not of The Company`s supply, is used in conjunction with the burners, reference
should be made to specific instructions or regulations governing the installation and use of such
equipment.
The Company gratefully acknowledges the permission of component suppliers and others to
reproduce data sheets and technical information in this manual.
For reliable and efficient operation of the burner, it is essential that regular maintenance is carried
out in accordance with the instructions contained in the text of this manual. The fact that a burner
may be under warranty does not absolve the user from the responsibility for this and inadequate
maintenance may lead to claims, made under guarantees of materials or performance being denied
IF IN DOUBT - ASK!
Information contained in this manual is given without any responsibility on the part of the company
for the consequences of the actions of persons making use of such information.
Equipment is supplied strictly under the terms of The Companys current `Conditions of Supply`
which are printed on the reverse of order acknowledgements and delivery notes.
Copies are available on request.

Working parameters
Temperature
0 to +50C
Relative Humidity
60 - 90% non-condensing
Atmospheric Air Pressure will generally be in the range of 950 to 1100mbar, but this will change
with altitude, if there are any queries please consult the Dunphy technical department.
1.3
Fuels
'TD' Series of burner must only be used with the fuels specified on the burner data plate and in the
case of gas, the pressure must not, under any circumstances, drop below the stated minimum
operating level.
The burner is also optimised for use with 35 sec diesel oil.
B100 Bio-diesel must not be used on a standard burner. When using B100, it must be specified at
time of order. Special pumps, valves and seals are used when burning B100.

1.3.1
Fuel Tanks
Fuel storage tanks must be positioned to maintain a positive head to burners or ring main pumps,
regardless of the oil level in the tank.
Vertical and horizontal storage tanks should be mounted on concrete plinths in accordance with
local, national or any environmental standards that may apply.
The fuel lines and fuel filtration system must be sized to prevent any possibility of vacuum
occurring in the pump suction ports.
If a positive head of oil is not maintained, there is a possibility that cavitations will occur within the
fuel pump.
As a general guide, the fuel storage tanks must be mounted at least one meter above the ring main
fuel pumps which should be sited as close as possible to the tank discharge.
1.3.2
Filtration
Duplex fuel filtration is recommended to the ring main pumps, this will allow for maintenance
without shutdown of the ring main system, during normal operation of the plant.
1.3.3
The ring main pumps should be sized to give 100 to 150% over the burner pumps fuel
requirements.
Pumps must be fitted with an internal relief valve set at a maximum of 3 bar for pump protection.
Manual isolation valves should be fitted to the pump inlet and outlet pipework to allow for
maintenance. It is recommended that the valves have electric switch packs fitted to them so that
they can be interlocked with oil operation.
It is always preferable to use duplex pumping where practical, particularly on multi-burner
installations.
1.3.4
Pipe Runs
Pipework should be run in a manner that allows it to be self venting and, in sections that require
venting, a suitable vent or de-gassing section should be fitted.
Where overhead ring mains are to be installed particular care and attention should be taken that the
system can be adequately vented. Welded construction is preferable to screwed connections.
1.3.5
Burner Connection
Burner connections should be provided in the ring main pipework adjacent to the boiler and close
enough to allow the burner to be opened without the need to disconnect the flexible oil lines.
Note: - Manual isolation valves should not be fitted on the return lines.
1.3.6
Burner Filtration
Burner filtration will depend on the size of burners in question and the quality/grade of the fuel oil
to be used, but good quality fuel filters, preferably of the self-clean type are recommended.
1.3.7
Pressure Regulation
The Pressure regulating valve of the ring main must be of the low, or zero, hysteresis type and
capable of maintaining a stable ring main pressure through the minimum and maximum flow
conditions of the supply system irrespective of any change in flow volume or viscosity.
A number of suppliers manufacture valves suitable for this purpose and further details are available
from the Dunphy technical department.

1.3.8
It is essential that the final connections between the main oil supply lines and the burner fuel pump
are made with flexible oil lines that are long enough to allow the burner to be swung open on its
hinges without having to be disconnected. Care should be taken to ensure that the flexible oil lines
do not become `kinked` as this will cause damage to the flexible and result in leakage.
1.4
Burner construction
June 13
9 of 129
On burners which have air inlet silencers as standard a 0-10 scale is fitted to indicate the opening of
the air shutter (not the firing rate) and nylon support bearings ensure that the travel is as smooth as
possible.
Burner Motor
The burner (fan) motor is a continuously rated 2-pole unit with class 'F' insulation, sized according
to the application. The motor is mounted the inside of the inner shutter thus allowing 100% heat
recovery from the motor into the combustion air offering efficiency ratings greater than EFF1. This
also ensures inherently quiet operation from the burner.
Combustion Air Fan
Mounted directly onto the motor shaft and positioned within the fan case assembly, the fan supplies
combustion air via the compressor vanes and mounting casting to the combustion head.
Due to the 'T' burner requirement for extremely low vibration and noise levels the fans are
manufactured and balanced to the very highest standards (ISO 1940-2003).
All fans are colour coded according to size.
Combustion Head
The air for combustion passes from the burner fan at a pressure related to the resistance of the
boiler, down the draught tube to the combustion head. The latter is an assembly of components
which cause the gas to be discharged into the air flow in such a way that optimum mixing takes
place.
Many types of combustion head are available depending on appliance geometry, gas type, available
gas pressure, NOx level requirement etc
Note: On any burner, an almost infinite combination of combustion head components may be used
to achieve optimum efficiency and a flame shape to suit a very wide range of heat-raising
appliances.
Burner Control Cabinet
Standard burners are supplied with a dust resistant damp-proof cabinet mounted on the side of the
burner. In many cases all the burner controls are fitted within the burner control cabinet (figure 1).
In more complicated installations, this cabinet would house a terminal strip (figure 2) which would
then interface to a control desk via flying leads.
Figure 2
Figure 1

Control desks are available in wardrobe type style (figure 3) or desk type style (figure 4). These
can vary in complexity and are able to house a whole host of burner/boiler controllers, water levels
controls, inverters, plc etc...

Installation
2.1
Burner Mounting
Care must be taken when mounting the burner not to damage the mounting gasket. The furnace
pipe (where fitted) is generally positioned at 12 oclock on the mounting flange and care must be
taken not to damage it during the mounting process.
Note: - Ensure that the burner mounting gasket is correctly fitted when fixing the burner to
the appliance. This gasket creates a gas-tight seal between the boiler and burner and also
insulates the burner mounting casting.
It is important to check that the burner draught tube projection into the combustion chamber
conforms to the appliance manufacturers instructions.
Non standard draught tube projections are available on request; - please consult the Dunphy sales
dept.
In general, for reverse flame boilers the draught tube projection into the combustion chamber
should be between 50 and 100mm. For other boilers the burner draught tube should finish flush or
slightly proud of any boiler refractory or insulation. Low NOx heads should be projected into the
furnace by at least 100 - 150mm.
If there is any doubt about the correct projection into the combustion chamber, the appliance
manufacturer must be consulted.

With the gas isolation valve next to the burner closed, a pressure test should be carried out on the
main gas supply pipe work and all connections checked with a suitable, non corrosive leak
detection fluid.
If the installation is supplied with a gas pressure above 1 bar (14.5p.s.i.g.) and contains plant with a
heat input of more than 2MW, local authorities will generally ask for the fitting of remotely
operable fire valves. The national or other standards in countries to which the burners may be
exported must be identified and met.

Fuel oil installations must comply with the following British Standards or equivalent local, national
or international standards.
BS799
BS5410
BS2869
Installations must conform to local Bye-laws and regulations which should be identified by
application to the local planning authority.
2.3.1
Pump Connections
The burner is supplied with two flexible hose lines and is connected as shown in illustration below.
2.4
Pump Priming
In order to ensure correct start-up for DH series oil pumps, the following guidelines should be
adhered to.
1. Ensure that the oil supply to the pump has been properly bled through and that no air is
present in the oil supply. The flexible oil lines should be fully flooded before connection to
the pump.
2. Check that all isolating valves are open and that the oil supply temperature and pressure are
correct.
3. Lubricate the pump by removing the pressure gauge plug and filling the pump with suitable
thin lubricating oil.
4. Check pumps rotation.
5. Turn pump slow until all air has been vented both from the pump itself and the burner
pipework, and the system is fully flooded.
6. The pump can now be put into operation.

2.5
Gas installation
In all cases, gas installation work must be carried out by approved members of
Gas Safe
All relevant standards of The British Standards Institute, IGEM Standard's
and the equivalent European Standards must be adhered to.
Note: The national or other standards in countries to which the burner may be exported to must be
identified and adhered to.
2.6
Electrical connections
All electrical installation work must be carried out in accordance with the I.E.E. wiring regulations
17th Edition 2008, with further reference to the Health and Safety Executives `Memorandum of
Guidance on the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 ( H.S.E. Booklet HS[R]25 )
Take note of the I.E.E. requirement for bonding main gas supply pipework to earth.
Connections to all terminals and the appliance should be made in accordance with the wiring
diagram supplied with each burner.
The final part of the electrical cable run must be made in flexible conduit, long enough to enable
the appliance door to be opened.
Ensure that the mains electrical supply to the burner is protected by a suitably sized fuse.
Connections to all terminals and the appliance should be made in accordance with the wiring
diagram supplied with each burner, using suitable fixed wiring installation (incorporating means of
disconnection) in accordance with local and national wiring regulations.
2.7
Inverter Connection
Burner motor connections can be found in dedicated aluminium enclosure situated on the side of
the burner control panel. Wiring diagram shows how to connect the inverter to this enclosure. The
earth leakage current from the frequency converter exceeds 3.5mA. To ensure excessive leakage
current conforms to EN/IEC 61800-5-1, an earth wire of at least 10mm2 or two separate earth
ground wires are used.
Warning:
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal even after the equipment has been
disconnected from mains.
Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected, such as
load-sharing (linkage of DC intermediate circuit), as well as the motor
connection for kinetic back-up.
Before touching any electrical parts, wait at least: please consult the inverter
manual.
2.8
Ventilation requirements
Provision must be made for an adequate supply of combustion and ventilating air to be available
when all access doors, fire doors and windows are closed. Air supply fans or flue dilution systems
must be interlocked to prevent operation of the burner(s) in the event of fan failure or shutdown.
June 13

Oil Operating System Modulating Burners ART 114 and ART 1400 Nozzles
Atomisation of the oil is by means of a single nozzle which works on the spill-back principle. The
nozzle fits into a hydraulic nozzle line assembly that allows oil from the pump outlet to circulate
through the nozzle and back through the metering valve to the pump return when the burner is
ready to fire, N.C. solenoid valves 4 & 5 open allowing oil to flow through the nozzle. the return
path from the nozzle line flows through a metering valve and back to the return of the pump
through a safety shut off valve.
The oil volume is controlled by a metering valve 6, in the spill line restricting the amount of spilled
oil and therefore increasing the volume that passes through the nozzle for combustion.
Control of both the metering valve and the air shutter is achieved by means of independent servo
motors which are positioned by the electronic control system.

To set the spring tension of the piston, the spring tension screw is set 20mm from the back chamber
as shown above. The piston stroke is setup using the piston limit screw. The screw is first fully
screwed in so that the piston cannot move; the screw is then moved out by 10mm to set the stroke.
The nozzle has a vent on the back chamber to allow the piston to move, DO NOT BLOCK THE
VENT.
4.1.3
The ART1400 nozzle has a set spring tension and piston stroke; no adjustments can be made to the
operation of the burner gun.

Atomisation of the oil is by means of a single nozzle which works on the spill-back principle.
From the schematic diagram below it can be seen that when the oil supply is admitted to the
nozzle by the two main oil valves, the flow can either pass through the nozzle into the furnace or
can return down the spill line to the pump return.
The control of the oil volume is achieved by a metering valve in the spill line restricting the amount
of `spilled` oil and therefore increasing the volume that passes through the nozzle for combustion.
Control of both the metering valve and the air shutter is achieved by means of a modulating
motor which is positioned by potentiometer according to the control signal.
On burner shutdown both the main safety shut off valves and the return safety shut off valves
close simultaneously to isolate the nozzle and reduce any possibility of oil spillage into the furnace.

Atomisation of the oil is by means of three nozzles which work on the spill-back principle. The
nozzle fits into the hydraulic nozzle line assemblies that allow oil from the pump outlet to circulate
through the nozzles and back through the metering valves to the pump return when the burner is
ready to fire, two PDV N/C solenoid valves open allowing oil to flow through the nozzles. The
return path from the centre nozzle flows through metering valve MV1, while the three outer nozzle
flows through MV2, they then join a common oil line, passing through two N/C safety shut off
valves, and back to the return of the pump.
The oil volume is controlled by the metering valves (MV1 and MV2) in the spill line restricting the
amount of spilled oil and therefore increasing the volume that passes through the nozzle for
combustion.
Control of both metering valves and the air shutter is achieved by means of independent servo
motors which are positioned by the electronic control system.

Prove air
pressure
The burner motor output is set ON and air pressure prove time
(t1) is initiated. The selected motors are moved open towards
the purge position. If the fan start early option parameter has
been set then the motors will not move until the option time has
expired.
7.
Prove purge
positions
When the air pressure prove time has elapsed, the air pressure
switch must give a pressure signal or the controller will
lockout the burner and move to stage 0. If primary air is
selected, then both primary and secondary air pressure signals
must be ON to prove air pressure. The selected motors are
driven open until they reach their commissioned purge
position.
8.
Pre-purge
Once the servo motors are at their purge positions the controller
starts the pre-purge (t2) timer.

Main ignition
Once the pilot interval time (t5) has elapsed, the second (and
first if not already open) main valve output(s) for gas, or main
oil valve output for oil is energized and the second safety time
(t6) is started.
If firing on oil and ignition with main valve was selected the
main oil valve will have already opened for pilot ignition. The
ignition transformer may optionally be on or off (See option
parameter 14.6). A flame and air pressure signal must be
detected or the controller will lockout the burner and move to
stage 0.

Modulation
When t8 has elapsed the fuel and air motors are modulated
according to the demand placed on the burner. If the fuel
selection is changed or the burner on signal (PE9) is removed,
the main valve output(s) are turned off. A flame and air
pressure signal must be detected or the controller will lockout
the burner and move to stage 0.
17.
Move to postpurge
18.
Post-purge
When the air drive(s) have reached their post purge positions
then the Post Purge Time (t9) is started. When t9 has elapsed,
the burner motor is turned off and the controller returns to state
1 to wait for another start-up.
5.3
Modulation
During stage 16 (modulation), the controller will position the fuel and air motors within the
programmed profile appropriate to the requirement for heat. The controller has 2 modes of
operation using the standard RATIOTRONIC modulation function, Normal and Local. The mode
of operation is set via the keypad by pushing the Burner ON/OFF key and selecting the mode.
Using the programmable block function (option) within the controller it is possible for the
modulation control to be generated with customised options, these are not covered in the standard
manual.
5.4
Normal mode
In Normal mode, the modulation rate is determined by the internal PID control settings, Manual
modulation from the keypad, or by one of the following remote influences:
Auxiliary modulation input,
Digital set point selection
Serial communications Comview or Lead/Lag.
5.5
Local mode
In Local mode, the modulation rate is determined by either the internal PID settings or Manual
modulation via the UP/DOWN keys. External modulation inputs and set point selection inputs are
ignored.
When Local1 is displayed the burner is running using the Set point 1 PID settings.
When Local2 is displayed the burner is running using the Set point 2 PID settings.

Non-volatile lockout
Non-Volatile lockouts cannot be cleared without operator intervention and are remembered in the
event of power being removed from the controller.
A non-volatile lockout will occur under the following conditions:
If any step of the gas proving sequence fails
In stages 1-9 (inclusive) if a flame is detected
In stages 11-16 (inclusive) if a flame is not detected
In stage 4 if the air pressure switch goes high (air pressure present)
In stages 7-18 (inclusive) if the air pressure switch goes low (air pressure not present)
In stages 5, 7 and 8, stages 10-16 (inclusive) and stage 18 if a motor is not in the correct
position
In any stage, if an internal or external fault not previously mentioned occurs which may
affect the safe operation of the burner
5.7
The Ratiotronic 6000 may have an optional daughter board within the main enclosure to allow
control of 1 or 2 inverter drives (daughter board dependent). Optionally the daughter board is also
available to allow feedback to be taken from directly from encoders measuring the speed of the
relevant motor, fan or pump shaft. There is also an option to allow the speed of an additional rotary
device to be monitored as an encoder input.
When not configured to control an inverter, the 4-20mA outputs may be configured to transmit
system variables as current outputs.
There are special wiring requirements for inverter feedback.
5.8
If a post combustion purge is selected (with option parameter 7.9), a normal shutdown post purge
will be performed at low fire. The drives will move to the low fire position (if not already there)
and the post-purge time will then start. If the burner has turned off because the fuel profile selection
has been removed (i.e. set to NONE), no post-purge will be performed.
If the burner locks out at or after ignition, and a post-purge time has been entered, the controller
will also attempt a post purge. For a flame failure fault, the controller will attempt to post purge at
high fire. For all other faults, the drives will stay at the positions they were in when the lockout
occurred. In both cases, the post-purge time starts at the moment the lockout occurs the controller
does not wait for drives to position before starting the post-purge time.

5.9
Emergency Stop
The emergency stop or e-stop is a safety mechanism used to shut off the burner in an emergency
situation in which it cannot be shut down in the usual manner. Unlike a normal shut-down
switch/procedure, which shuts down the burner in an orderly fashion and turns it off without
damaging it, an e-stop is designed and configured to a) completely abort the operation at all costs
and b) be operable in a manner that is quick, simple (so that even a panicking user with
impaired executive function can operate it), and, usually, c) be obvious even to an untrained
operator or a bystander. The e-stop features a removable barrier to provide protection against
accidental activation.

Before the commissioning process of the burner can take place, there are certain components like
the Ratiotronic 6000, inverter (when fitted), etc, which will need to be setup. The burner should be
factory set; however, if the parameters have been erased for whatever reason, then this section can
be used as a starting point. Please note that a fuel / air profile will not have been setup. Please also
note that this parameter set should be used in conjunction with the manual.

Basic settings
It is essential that heat output of the appliance is known in order that the correct fuel input can be
calculated and set. If there is any doubt at all with regard to the appliance rating, the manufacturer
should be consulted before the burner is fired. The calorific value of the fuel must be known and
measurement of the fuel input should be by meter wherever possible.
Do not leave the burner firing at a rate which is known to be or which may be excessive, this will
result in damage to the appliance.
The nett flue gas temperature should be taken throughout the process of setting combustion. The
figure will vary according to the construction of the appliance but will normally be in the range
of 180 to 250C gross. if in doubt what this figure should be, please consult the boiler/appliance
manufacturer.

EFFICIENCY AND A FLAME SHAPE TO SUIT A VERY WIDE RANGE OF HEATRAISING APPLIANCES. THE MOST SUITABLE COMBINATION/SETTINGS
MUST BE DETERMINED DURING THE COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE.

If the burner is fitted with a separate pilot, the start gas heat input of the ignition burner must not
exceed the value given by the equation:
ts x Qs 150
where:
ts is the safety time in seconds (s):
Qs is the maximum start gas heat input expressed as a percentage of the main gas rate
7.3
Pre-commissioning
Note: The following tests must be carried out before commissioning is started.
Check that the appliance has been filled to the correct level
Check that the appliance isolating valves are fully open.
Where fitted, check that the flue damper is locked in the open position.
Check that the flue-draught stabiliser moves freely
Check that the gas supply is guaranteed and is at the correct pressure.
Check that the gas meter is the correct size.
Ensure that a manual gas isolation valve is positioned as close as possible to the burner and
that all gas pipe work is adequately supported.
Check that the external electrical connections are in accordance with the appliance
manufacturers wiring instructions.
Make certain that both fuel supplies and electrical supplies have been isolated.
Ensure that all gas, oil and electrical connections are tight as connections may come loose
during transportation.
Check the electrode gap to be 3mm at the narrowest point of the ignition electrode (twin)
and the tip of gas ignition electrode is 3mm away from the gas nozzle outlet.
Set the firing rate control switch to `low fire` to ensure that the burner will remain at low
fire after light-up.
Hot water boilers - check operation of the control and limit thermostats and that the boiler
has been filled with water.
Steam boilers - confirm the operation of the boiler feed pump and switch, and check that
the water level controls are working.
After the initial firing of the boiler, do not leave the unit operating in an unmanned boiler
house unless the boiler on/off control has been operated and set at a suitable figure and the
flame failure system on the burner has been checked.

7.4.1
Note: Gas leak checks must be carried out using a suitable non-corrosive leak detection fluid.
Check for gas leaks on meters, governors and all mains gas supply pipe work.
Ensure all pipework leading up to the burner main gas valve has been purged according to
IGE/UP/1 Soundness testing and Purging of Industrial & Commercial Gas Installations
Ensure that the burner manual isolation valve is closed.
Check that all isolation valves in the main gas supply pipe work are open.
Remove or loosen the gas inlet pressure test point on the inlet side of the gas valve and open
the burner isolation valve until all air has been purged between the isolation valve and the
burner gas valve.
When this has been done, close the isolation valve.
Connect the manometer to the gas inlet test point on the automatic gas valve, open the manual gas
isolation valve for two seconds and then close it again.
The pressure shown on the manometer should remain constant.
7.4.3
Switch on mains electrical supply. Momentarily 'blip' the burner fan connector and check rotation
of fan against direction of rotation sticker fixed to the rear of the burner. If motor rotates in the
wrong direction, changeover two of the incoming 3 phase supply. Repeat test to ensure rotation is
now correct.
7.4.4

When the pilot proving time is reached, the automatic gas valve is energised and will
release the gas trapped between the valve and the closed isolation valve.
The burner will then stop because the pressure acting upon the gas pressure proving switch
will be reduced due to the isolation valve being closed.

Loosen the screw in the gas inlet measuring point, connect a manometer and remove the clear
plastic cover from the gas pressure detector.
Switch on the burner and allow to fire.
Close the burner manual gas isolation valve slowly until the gas pressure is reduced to 50%.
Adjust the numbered black plastic ring on the gas pressure detector until the burner switches off.
Switch off the mains electrical supply to the burner, remove the manometer and seal the test point
screw.
Open the manual gas isolation valve and switch on the burner.
7.5
Oil Firing
All burners using oil as a fuel are fired before despatch as part of the standard test programme. This
does not mean that the pump pressure or any other adjustment applying to the oil system is
necessarily correct for the application.
Commissioning of the burner must include confirming that the nozzle size and characteristics are
suitable, calculating the fuel pressure required to give boiler M.C.R. and ensuring that, subject to
the requirements given below, the firing rate is correctly set.
The following text in included on the basis that the burner has been commissioned on gas and that
the boiler or appliance controls have been set.
The change - over of fuels is made by operation of the selector switch on the burner control cabinet.
This selector switch controls two contactors which electrically isolate one fuel from the other. On
electronic modulating burners, fuel selection can be made via the keypad.
For change-over to either fuel the switch selection is made through the 'off' position which causes
the burner control box to extinguish the flame before recycling.
The starting cycle will not immediately commence because it will be necessary for the burner
motor to slow down, reducing the air flow to a level which allows the air pressure switch to return
to the 'no' air position.
Note: Even on oil firing the leak detection cycle will be activated.
Before changing to oil firing, ensure that the oil pump has been properly vented and flooded.
No mechanical changes or re-adjustment of components are required for the burner to be changed
from one fuel to another.
Before the first firing on oil, it is always advisable for the availability of fuel, fire valves open etc,
to be confirmed.
Check that the burner will remain at low fire.
7.5.1
Step 1
Set the Low Fire air damper motor setting to between 1 and 2 on the scale and the high fire
air damper setting to between 5 and 6 on the scale. Set O2 to approx 3 on the scale.
Ensure that the High / Low switch is in the low fire position and switch on the burner.
Momentarily 'blip' the oil pump contactor to check for correct rotation of pump - ensure it
rotates according to rotation sticker fixed to rear of the motor. If rotation is incorrect, swap
June 13
60 of 129
over two pluses on the pump motor. Do not swap the mains electrical feed as this will also
reverse the burner fan motor rotation.
Start the burner and allow to go through pre-purge cycle. When the burner reaches its
ignition position, the ignition transformer is switched on, followed by the fuel pump motor,
and then the two solenoid valves, which should result in the burner lighting.
Set the pump pressure to approx 25 bar.
Adjust the low fire air position to give the following figures:
Carbon Dioxide: 11 - 14%
Smoke Number: 0 - 1 (
Excess Oxygen: 3 - 6%
Nett Flue Gas Temperature: 180 - 220c
Step 2
Allow burner to move to High Fire position. On its way to High Fire, the V2 Oil Valve will
energise, thus passing oil into the second nozzle.
Once at High Fire, adjust air damper to give combustion figures similar to above.
Switch between Low and high Fire, checking the firing rate and combustion, ensuring that
consistent figures and smooth, reliable light-up are being obtained.
Listen for signs of flame instability.
With the burner firing, remove and cover the photocell, ensuring that the burner goes
immediately to lockout.
Warm up the boiler or raise steam slowly, and in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
After running for a reasonable amount of time, remove the combustion head and check for
any oil impingement, oil leaks, or fouling at the flame plate.
If necessary, make adjustments to the combustion head to cure this.
Check the flame ring for indications of overheating or impingement by the oil spray.
The basic, relative positions of the combustion head components are given in section 3 of this
manual, but the principles to be followed are that:1. The ignition electrodes must be positioned so that the spark, which `strikes` at the narrowest
point is blown forward by the combustion airflow on to the widest point of the `horns`. This
will ensure that the arcing takes place within the cone of atomised fuel, with a consequent
immediate ignition of the fuel.
Note that if the electrodes are set too far forward, they will be subjected to continuous
impingement by un-burnt fuel, some of which will carbonise, quickly reducing the intensity
of the spark and leading to poor ignition.
2. The relative position of the flame ring must give a flame which is `anchored` on to the front
face of the ring. The slotted vanes must be opened enough to allow the passage of an
adequate amount of air, which because of the swirl effect imparted, will be a major
stabilising factor. If the vane gap is irregular, the flame shape will be affected and soot will
build up at the points which restrict the air flow.
If the nozzle is too near to the flame ring, the flame will tend to `lift off`, giving very
unreliable ignition and a degree of instability which will make reliable operation, especially
when modulating from high to low fire.
3. The combustion head as an assembly, must be central in the draught tube, otherwise the air
velocity round the outside of the flame ring ( and therefore of the flame ) will vary in
June 13
61 of 129
relation to the gap through which the air is passing, causing poor flame shape and
impingement on the furnace structure.
4. Where divergent ( expanded ) nose cones are used, the cone itself should be positioned
relative to the flame ring and allow an adequate volume of air for combustion, but at the
same time, give a velocity which is high enough to assist in shaping the flame to give
optimum combustion.
While the design of the combustion head is the major factor in obtaining maximum
combustion efficiency, careful setting of the various component parts is also important.
When a burner has been in service for a period long enough for its performance to be
confirmed and before the settings have been disturbed, the relative dimensions of the
combustion head components should be recorded, so that after dismantling for maintenance,
correct reassembly can be assured.
Set the high/low thermostat or pressure switch to a lower figure than the on/off control. The
difference should take account of demand, bringing the burner back to low fire early enough
to slow down any boiler pressure or temperature rise if the heat demand is less than the
boiler M.C.R. and reduce the on/off cycling of the burner. Equally the burner must revert to
its high fire rate in time to maintain the pressure or temperature above a figure which is
determined by site conditions.

7.6
IMPORTANT!
When commissioning burners fitted with Electronic Modulating Control Systems, the
respective operating manuals must be followed. Only competent and trained personnel are
permitted to commission burners fitted with these controls.
7.6.1
Control of the gas supply to the burner is performed using a butterfly valve.
material specification of blade and spindle can be altered depending on gas
type, E.G. Stainless Steel can be specified for Bio-gas.
Check the butterfly valve has been correctly set to zero - Please consult
manual for details. More details on the butterfly valve can be found in the
component section.
7.6.2
The oil metering valve is used to control the amount of oil returning from the
spill back oil nozzle line. On spill back systems, the witness mark on the
inner spool piece must be set to 'B'.
Set the pointer to zero - Please consult manual for details. With the pointer set to zero, this
represents maximum flow through the metering valve. As the valve modulates up to 90, the valve
closes off, also closing off the return spill line from the oil nozzle line and
therefore increasing the firing rate. More details on the oil metering valve can be
found in the component section.
7.6.3
Check the air pressure proving switch and, if necessary, set to 50% of
differential pressure.
Example of adjustment:Negative pressure ( ) measured
Positive pressure ( + ) measured
Differential pressure is Switch off point of pressure switch is
4 mbar
5 mbar
9 mbar
4.5mbar
From this point all commissioning procedures are dictated by the Ratiotronic 6000 manual.
ALWAYS CHECK THE COMBUSTION READINGS AFTER MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
June 13
63 of 129
7.6.4
Ratiotronic programming
The Ratiotronic 6000 burner control system is generally pre-programmed in the factory prior to
despatch. However it is important that the parameters are checked against the lists supplied with the
test data supplied with the burner.
The combustion engineer must be competent with such a controller and be fully trained in burner
commissioning before proceeding any further.
This manual must be used in conjunction with the Ratiotronic 6000 manual at all times.
7.6.5
Burner Commissioning
Important:
It is recommended for T5 burners, that a variable speed drive should be fitted to avoid
excessive axial forces on motor bearings when commissioning. Initially set the inverter speed
to approximately 30-35 Hz and use all available stroke on air damper first. Once the air
damper is fully open, any additional air required can be achieved by increasing the inverter
speed.
See table below as an example setup.

The following schedules are only to be taken as a guide to those persons responsible for day to day
maintenance of the burners. Details of a service agreement covering the major items of routine
servicing are available on request.
An annual check by factory trained technicians is strongly advised.
All control circuit components, fire valves and other safety devices should have a functional check
at not greater than annual intervals.
Maintenance and inspection of boilers or other appliances must meet the requirements of the
manufacturers' schedules and of the insurers. It is usually more convenient to carry out burner
maintenance after the completion of the boiler inspection or cleaning, so that the burner can be fired
and the combustion reset to optimum figures.
The measurements given in the various combustion head drawings in this manual are to be regarded
as datum figures only. During commissioning, alterations may be made to the relative positions, or
to the components themselves, to suit the particular application.
Therefore, before dismantling the combustion head, take note of the measurements concerned and
record them on the manual's drawings. It is important that where possible components of the same
type and size are fitted as replacements.
The commissioning certificate for the burner should be available, to be used as a reference for the
fuel input and combustion figures which will give boiler MCR and the highest efficiency level.
8.1
To open the burner, the two nuts securing the hinge section to the fan section must be removed. The
burner will swing open on its hinge offering full access to all combustion head components.
June 13
66 of 129
When necessary checks/repairs have been carried out, close up in reverse order ensuring that the
locking nuts are fully tightened.
8.2
Minor Maintenance
(a) Check the operation of the flame failure system daily by deliberately locking out the burner.
This can be achieved by either removing the UV cell, or on burners fitted with ionisation
probes isolating the gas supply to the burner.
(b) Where fitted, check and regularly clean the UV cell window with a soft cloth.
(c) Inspect the burner control cabinet to ensure that all indicator lamps are serviceable.
(d) Make a general check for cleanliness and security.
(e) As convenient, make an inspection of the combustion head components for cleanliness,
security and serviceability.
(f) Check the main gas valves for external hydraulic fluid leaks.
(g) Confirm the security of all linkages, locking nuts and any component parts fitted to the
burner
(h) Where a micro-ammeter is fitted make regular checks to confirm that the UV cell output
does not significantly deteriorate.
8.3
Major Maintenance
Take adequate safety precautions against the small amount of gas which escapes when gas train
components are removed.
Carry out all of the maintenance tasks listed above, plus the following:
(a) Remove the upstream pilot valve and determine the amount of dust etc. which is present. If
a substantial quantity is found, remove the upstream main gas valves from the burner and
clean the seats (Unibloc only, see 'Unibloc' section of this manual for actuator removal).
The Siemens valve is a sealed unit any unauthorised opening will invalidate warranty.
(b) Check and clean any gas filters in the site pipework if significant quantities of dust or scale
are found. Make a request to the gas region for similar work on the service filter which
protects the meter
(c) Confirm correct operation of electrical components, e.g. control boxes, motor starters etc
and check tighten all electrical terminals.
(d) The nominal life of a U/V cell is 10,000 hours, subject to regular checks of the cell output
as registered on the micro-ammeter (which might indicate an earlier deterioration) the cell
should be changed every third year.
(e) Disconnect the air shutter linkage at the shutter spigot. Move the shutter by hand to confirm
freedom of movement. Clean as necessary (the PTFE bearing surfaces need no lubrication
but will require replacement when worn)
(f) Inspect the refractory of the burner mounting plate. Make good any defects in refractory or
sealing
(g) Ensure that boiler furnace sight glasses are clean and that their sealing is flue gas-tight.
(h) When the inspection and any rectification work has been completed on the burner/boiler,
bring the unit up to working temperature (slowly).
(i) With the boiler on line, confirm that the fuel throughput and combustion efficiency are
equal to the 'commissioned' figures.

The combustion head can be removed, as a unit, for maintenance purposes. Before commencing
refer to the combustion head drawings in the exploded diagram section at rear of this manual for
relevant positions of the various components.
(a) Open the burner, as described in the burner maintenance schedule.
(b) Disconnect the probe/HT lead and, where a UV cell is fitted, remove this from its retaining
clip and move to a safe place.
(c) Loosen the jacking screw in the mounting hinge section opposite the gas entry, as shown in
the illustration below.
(d) Pull the nozzle line spigot out of the gas entry.
(e) Withdraw the nozzle line complete, out of the blast tube.
June 13

12 Component Information
12.1 Unibloc
12.1.1 Unibloc General Arrangements
All Unibloc gas trains are manufactured and tested in accordance with EN 161 : 1991 'Automatic
Shut-off Valves for Gas Burners and Gas Appliances'
The Unibloc body is cast iron to BS 1452 grade 220 (the 100 N.B. body conforming to EN161 is
S.G. cast iron to BS 2789 grade 2712). All bodies are manufactured in one piece and are precision
machined to accept the various gas valve actuators that are described in section 2.
The standard unit is designed for use with 2nd and 3rd family gases and is fitted with plated carbon
steel valve seating rings. For other gas applications, e.g. bio or producer gas, the valve seating rings
are manufactured out of grade 321 stainless steel, because of the corrosive nature of these gases.
Where hydrogen sulphide (H2 S) is present in the gas advice must be sought from Dunphy
Technical Department.
A gas filter is fitted around the seating of the first stage valve to prevent foreign bodies entering the
Unibloc and causing valve seating problems. Gas filters are available to suit the various
specifications as required.
June 13
88 of 129
Valve actuators are supplied as standard with plated carbon steel seat assemblies fitted with nitrile
rubber seating discs.
If valves are required to be used on bio, producer or other corrosive gases, the valve seat assemblies
will be manufactured in 321 stainless steel with viton seating discs.
Installation
Select a location where the ambient temperature will be within the range of 0C to +50C, ensure
that the gas supply pipework is clean and contains no loose particles, fit valve to pipework so that
the gas flow travels in the direction of the arrows on the valve casing.
Please note that the 40, 50, 65, 80 and 100 mm N.B. valve bodies should be mounted with the inlet
flange facing vertically downwards. The 125 mm. N.B. valve body has an adjustable inlet flange
section that can be rotated to face in various directions
Due to the size and weight of the 100mm N.B. Unibloc, it is recommended that after installation
in the gas pipework the valve body is supported using the hole drilled in the valve body rib.

VGD40
Protect the actuator against excessive temperatures (caused by radiation, for example), to ensure the
maximum permissible ambient temperatures will not be exceeded.
Mounting notes
Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations are complied with. To mount the double gas
valve VGD20..., 2 flanges type AGA41... / AGA51... are required.
To prevent cuttings from falling inside the valve, first mount the flanges to the piping and then
clean the associated parts. On the gas train, the valve can be mounted in any position, but the
permissible mounting positions of the associated actuator must be observed (refer to the relevant
Data Sheet)
The direction of gas flow must be in accordance with the arrow on the valve body.
When used in combination with the SKP10..., SKP15..., SKP25... or SKP75...,
the minimum gas pressure switch must always be mounted upstream of the double gas valve!
The electro hydraulic SKP15... actuator, which is used for shutoff functions, must always be
mounted on the inlet side while the actuators with integrated governor (SKP25..., SKP75...,) must
always be fitted on the outlet side of the valve (with a contoured disk).
Check to ensure the bolts on the flanges are properly tightened . Check to ensure the connections
with all components are tight. Mounting and replacement of the actuator can take place while the
valve is under pressure. Sealing materials are not required. Ensure that the O-rings are fitted
between the flanges and the valve body.
Installation notes
Installation work must be carried out by qualified staff.
If the available gas pressure exceeds the valves maximum permissible operating pressure, the gas
pressure must be reduced by a pressure regulator upstream of the valve.

Commissioning notes
Commissioning work must be carried out by qualified staff.
If environmental conditions produce corrosion (e.g. sea climate), apply protective coating.
Check wiring carefully prior to commissioning.
Standards
CE conformity in accordance with the directives of the European Union
- Directive for pressure equipment 97/23 EEC
- Directive for gas appliances 90/396 EEC
Service notes
Check the correct functioning and the internal and external tightness of the VGD... each time a
valve has been replaced. The valve may only be replaced by qualified staff.
VGD20
The double gas valves VGD20... are of the normally closed type and have 2 disks, one noncontoured disk on the inlet side and one contoured disk on the outlet side. The stems are guided on
both sides of the disks, thus ensuring precise alignment and tight shutoff. The high closing force of
the return spring is supported by the prevailing gas pressure (class A to EN 161). A strainer on
the inlet side protects the valve and downstream controls against dirt. Valve body and connecting
flanges are made of die-cast aluminium, the seals of nitril rubber, and the stems of stainless steel.
The double gas valves feature a pilot gas connection Rp" . Gas valve, flanges and actuators are
supplied as separate
items. The 4 screws
required to fit the SKP...
to the valve are contained
in
the
terminal
compartment. No special
tools are required for
assembly.
The
connecting flanges have
a test point. They are
internally threaded and
supplied as separate
items, together with the
necessary accessories, such as bolts, nuts, seals, etc. The overall flange dimensions and bore-holes
are identical, so that all types of flanges can be fitted to the double gas valve, irrespective of
nominal size. This means that a 1" flange can be fitted to a 2" VGD... valve, and vice versa. Each
double gas valve requires 2 connecting flanges, which are to be ordered as separate items.

The double gas valves VGD40... are double seat disk valves of the normally closed type. The stems
are guided on both sides of the disks, thus ensuring a precise stroke and tight shutoff. To improve
the control performance, the disks at the bottom are pro-filed.
The patented double seats are closed by 2 springs. The high closing force of the return spring is
supported by the prevailing gas pressure (class A to EN 161). The spring of each stem exerts a
pressure on the disk so that there is a
defined closing force acting on each disk.
The surface area proportions of the 2 valve
disks per stem
are such that the closing force increases as
the inlet pressure increases (class A valve
to EN 161). A strainer on the inlet side
protects the valve and downstream controls
against dirt. The 4 screws required to fit the
SKP... to the valve are contained in the
terminal compartment. The double gas
valves DN40150 correspond to the
standard valve sizes of single valves (EN
558).
The VGD40... are supplied with a pilot gas
flange having a connection for the pilot
gas line and a connection for an impulse line. This impulse line connection between the 2 valves
and another impulse line connection on the outlet flange can be connected directly to the constant
pressure governor SKP20... fitted to V1 or V2.
A universal mounting plate facilitates attachment of a number of commercially available pressure
switches or valves proving devices. Both the pilot gas flange and the universal mounting plate are
exchangeable and can be fitted on either side of the valve.

All activities (mounting, installation and service work, etc.) must be performed by qualified staff
Check to ensure that the impulse pipes are properly fitted and tight
Fall or shock can adversely affect the safety functions. Such actuators must not be put into
operation, even if they do not exhibit any damage.
If mains voltage is fed to the end switch via the second plug-in space, protective earth must be
connected to the actuator via the same plug.
Use of connectors conforming to DIN EN 175301-803-A is mandatory
The connectors used must have cable strain relief
The pumps stem must not be pulled out using the overstroke element since that part could
become loose.
If the available gas pressure exceeds the maximum permissible operating pressure of the valve /
SKP..., it must be lowered by an upstream pressure controller. The pressure switch for lack of gas
must always be fitted upstream of the gas valve when used in connection with the SKP The
inside diameter of the impulse pipes must be a minimum of 6 mm. The impulse pipes must be
installed such that the differential pressure can be acquired with no disturbance (unfavourable flow
conditions). Pressure test points must not protrude and be flush with the inside diameter of the pipe
or duct wall. The impulse lines to the governor / controller should be as short as possible, enabling
the governor / controller to respond quickly should sudden load changes occur.
Installation of impulse pipes
In the case of unsafe combustion chamber pressure pipes (e.g. resulting from potential leaks), the
setting must also be checked during operation without having the combustion chamber pipe
connected, especially with respect to maximum burner capacity. The impulse pipes must be fitted
such that the differential pressure can be acquired with no disturbance. With gas / air ratios > 3, the
June 13
110 of 129
impulse pipes for the combustion air and the combustion chamber pressure must have an inside
diameter of at least 8 mm. The impulse pipe for the combustion chamber pressure must be fitted
such that the gases will cool down in the vicinity of the impulse pipe and condensing gases cannot
enter the controller but will return to the combustion chamber.
Recommendations:
The gas pressure should be acquired at a distance of 5 times the nominal pipe size downstream
from the valve.
Do not use the lateral test points on the VG... valve body for picking up the pressure
Considering the combustion chamber pressure
If the resistance value of the combustion chamber / heat exchanger / stack system is constant, the
combustion chamber pressure changes in proportion to the gas and combustion air pressure as the
burners output changes. In that case, the combustion chamber pressure need not be fed to the
SKP75... as a disturbance variable. However, if the combustion chamber pressure does not change
to the same extent as the gas and air pressure as this is the case in plants with flue gas fan or
modulating flue gas damper the combustion chamber pressure must be fed to the SKP75... as a
disturbance variable, enabling the controller to counteract.
Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations are complied with
The quadratic arrangement of the fixing holes allows the actuator to be fitted in 4 different
positions, each step being 90
The actuator can be mounted or replaced while the system is under pressure; sealing
materials are not required
Electrical commissioning may only be performed when the SKP is fitted to the valve;
otherwise, the SKP can be damaged.
Power is supplied and connection of the end switch is made directly via a connecting cable
(conforming to DIN EN 175301-803-A)
The end switch is factory set.
When power is applied, the pump will be activated and the control valve closed. Oil is now pumped
from the chamber below the piston to the pressure chamber above the piston. The oil pressure
causes the piston to move downward, thereby opening the valve against the pressure of the
closing spring. The pump remains energized until the closing command is given. When power is
removed, or in the event of a power failure, the pump will be deactivated and the control valve
opened so that the closing spring pushes the piston back. The return flow system is sized such that
the counterstroke required for reaching the fully closed position is completed within about 0.6
seconds.

E. The entire metering spindle and spool sleeve can be removed from the top plate. The
spindle has a Viton 'O' ring and there is a Viton 'O' ring between the cap and the valve body.
the shaft sealing is via 2 x 'O' rings which are submersed inside the spool sleeve.
There should not be any need to remove the bottom plate, although as a precautionary measure if
'O' rings are being replaced, it is good practice to replace all of the seals with the correct
specification for the valve.
12.5.5 Adjustment of the valve
Since the valve can operate either for spill back
nozzles or for direct metering of fuel, the
configuration can be changed by indexing the
pool witness mark to change the opening and
closed characteristic of the valve. In other words,
when the witness plate is indexed to position 'A'
the valve operates from closed to open over the
90 degree scale.
When the witness plate is indexed to position
'B', the valve operates from fully open to closed over a 90 degree movement. It is also possible to
change the flow characteristic of the valve by changing the position of the spool in accordance with
the details on the flow graph and scale plate indicators.
Valve adjustment is extremely simple. The design of the valve allows maximum travel from 0 to
90 degrees to control the modulating range of the burner. Depending upon the flow rate required
across the valve, this could control fuel flows in excess of 20:1 over the valve spindle angular
movement.
It is possible to adjust the output of the valve whilst still maintaining the large amount of
linearization by adjusting the spool ring on the inner scale plate. This is adjusted by loosening the
retaining cap and rotating the spool with a peg spanner. The index mark on the spool indicates the
spool position which can be read in conjunction with the flow charts on the opposite page.
12.5.6 Installation of the valve
The Variotronic valve can be mounted in any access. it is however,
essential that there is no pipe stress from either the inlet or discharge
port of the valve. Any external pressure caused from pipe stress could
distort or cause the valve to malfunction. Fixing of the valve is via a
pad with 2 off tapped holes, 5MM tapped directly into the valve body.
12.5.7 Valve Drive
While the Variotronic valve has primarily been designed to be driven
by an electronic positioning motor, it is possible to use the valve via
mechanical linkage. It is essential that there is zero play on any
connection between the valve spindle and the drive to the valve. This
is particularly important with electronic positioning since the valve is
normally controlled by a sensor or potentiometer mounted directly on
the servo motor shaft.
Zero hysteresis drive couplings must be used or, alternatively, a solid
coupling between the servo motor and valve spindle. Before commencing operation of the valve,
please ensure that there is oil or lubrication within the valve.
Do not run the valve dry as this could affect the long term accuracy. If the valve has to be operated
before the oil system has been fully primed, it is prudent to put lubricating oil in the valve ports.
