Burnham V8 Series manual Combustion Head Adjustment, Water Boilers Only

Page 17

Disconnect the flared fitting to the oil line and remove the aluminum thumb-nut from the nozzle line. Remove the combustion head assembly from the air tube. Rotating the assembly upside down will ease removal. Inspect the nozzle for size and type, refer to Table 6 of this manual.

ii.To change a nozzle, loosen the clamp screw on the retention ring assembly and slide the retention ring off the adaptor.

Install and tighten the proper nozzle in the adaptor. See Table 6 of this manual. Be careful not to damage the electrode insulators or to bend the wires.

iii.Replace the retention ring assembly, slipping one of the riveted arms through the 1/8-inch gap between the electrode tips. This arm should be straight up. Also, be sure that the retention ring clamp is tight against the shoulder on the adaptor. Then tighten the clamping screw.

iv.Check the electrode settings specified as follows and shown in Figure 27B. 1/8-inch gap, 1/4-inch above the nozzle centerline, and 3/16-inch ahead of the nozzle tip.

v.Re-install the combustion head assembly into the air tube. It may be necessary to turn nozzle line assembly upside down to ease insertion into the air tube. Then the threaded adapter on the end of the nozzle line is passed through the opening in the left side of the housing.

vi. Run the aluminum (knurled) thumb-nut onto the nozzle line and tighten hand-tight.

vii. Connect the flared fitting on the copper oil line to the nozzle line and tighten.

viii.Swing the transformer to the closed position, rotate latches and tighten screws.

b.Combustion Head Setting/Adjustment

i.Verify combustion head setting, refer to Table 6 of this supplement. Read the scale embossed in the housing, which is calibrated in 1/16-inch divisions (dimension ‘A’)

the position of the flame retention ring in relation to the air cone can be determined at a glance. Refer to Figure X.

ii.By moving the electrode and combustion head assembly forward or backward, the location of the flame retention ring relative to the throttle ring can be controlled. Refer to Figure 7A.

By loosening the locking screw and thumb- nut and turning the adjusting screw using a 5/32-inch allen wrench, the assembly can be

Figure 7A: Combustion Head Adjustment

moved to the required position.

Turn the adjusting crew clockwise to move the combustion head forward, increasing the ‘A’ dimension, counterclockwise will pull the head back, decreasing the ‘A dimension. To lock in place, first tighten the thumb-nut and then the locking screw.

c.Initial Air Shutter/Band Setting

i.The air shutter has a pointer which indicated the percent of opening against a calibrated scale (9 = 90%, fully open = 100%). The setting is locked in place by a screw just above the fuel unit.

ii.The air band is adjusted by loosening the screw, rotating the air band and then locked in place after final adjustment. Refer to Table 6 of this manual for initial settings.

iii.The burner is now set at the approximate air band setting for the gallonage indicated. During final adjustment, using combustion testing equipment, the air band may need minor adjustment to achieve the desired efficiency.

Water Boilers Only

Knockdown V87 - V89 boilers are provided with one nozzle, installed in the burner, that provides the same firing rate as the steam boiler of the same size.

Inspect the installed nozzle and assure that the nozzle is the correct size and type as specified in Table 6 of this manual. The nozzle input is stamped on the hex flat of the nozzle.

Refer to Paragraph K, 7, a for burner drawer assembly removal.
