The pre-mixed gas and air is ignited by the ignition electrode inside gas nozzle before combustion
starts.

Since ignition voltage is as high as 8,000V, the ignition device must be grounded
safely.
4.4 Air flow actuating mechanism

The VSP actuator is employed to control air valve actuator,

which receives the current or voltage signals from electronic
controller to adjust the air valve or valve to certain place between
the On and Off position. Adjust the air flow setting on the touch
screen of control cabinet to change the air flow rate of burner.

4.5 Combustion air damper

An air damper is installed at air inlet port in the front of burner
to adjust the air flow rate of burner.
The position of air damper is controlled by an actuator according to oil flow. The operation of air
damper is controlled by an automatic mechanism of burner according to oil capacity.

4.6 Flame detector

 The main flame is monitored by main flame detector of burner.
The connecting pipe of flame detector is installed on burner.
It is with a connector for leading cooling air.
Cooling air is employed to prevent flame detector from dust and overheating. Demount it with
manual wrench from the front part.

4.7 Flame magnifier

Appendix 1: General knowledge of heavy residue oil

Heavy Oil is the product of crude oil refined from crude oil after the extraction of gasoline oil and
diesel oil, featuring big molecular and high viscosity. The heavy oil has the specific gravity ranging
from 0.82 to 0.95, and the thermal value being of 10,000~11,000 kcal/kg. Its main
components consist of the carbon hydrates, sulfur (about 0.1%~4%) and micro amount of
inorganic compounds.

1. Properties

Known as heavy oil or residue oil, fuel oil is a kind of thick dark-brown combustible liquid with
moderate viscosity, featuring good combustion performance and large heat generation. Applied as
the fuel source of boiler, it is characterized by good atomizing performance, complete combustion,
less carbon and dust deposits, as well as low corrosion. Featuring a high flash point, it can be stored
and used safely.

Being as one of the products during crude oil refining, fuel oil is widely applied to marine
boiler, heating furnace, metallurgy boiler and other industrial boilers as the fuel source. Mainly made
of cracking residue oil and directly fractionated residue oil from crude oil, fuel oil features high
viscosity, high contents of non-hydrocarbon compounds, colloid substance and asphalt. Main
technical parameters of fuel oil include the viscosity, sulfur content, flash point, water content, ash
content and mechanical impurity.

⑴ Viscosity: It is an essential property index for fuel oil, as well as a basis for the classification
of fuel oil. It is a measurement for fluidity resistance capacity. Its value indicates the properties of
this fuel oil such as the fluidity, pump delivery capacity and atomizing performance. Common
applied fuel oil recently in domestic market includes the distillate fuel oil (kinematic viscosity at
40℃) and residue fuel oil (kinematic viscosity at 100℃).In the past, the Engler Viscosity (80℃ and
100℃) standard was applied as the quality control index in fuel oil industry, and the kinematic
viscosity at 80℃ was used for the classification of fuel oil. The kinematic viscosity of fuel oil equals
to the ratio of dynamic viscosity and density. The unit of kinematic viscosity is Stokes, shorted as St.
When dynamic viscosity of fuel oil is 1P, its kinematic viscosity at the density of 1g/cm3 is 1St.The
CSt is short for Centistokes, namely, one per cent of 1St.

2. Sulfur content: Over-high sulfur content in fuel oil may cause corrosion to metal equipment
and contamination to surroundings. According to the amount of sulfur content, fuel oil can be
divided into high-sulfur, medium-sulfur and low-sulfur ones.
 ⑶ Flash point: It is a safety index. Over-low flash point may cause the hidden risk of fire.

⑷ Water content: The existing of water will affect the condensation point of fuel oil. Along
with the increase of water content, the condensation point of fuel oil rises accordingly. In addition,
water content also affects the mechanical combustion performance of fuel oil, resulting in flameout
in boiler furnace, boiler shutdown and other accidents.

⑸ Ash content: Ash is the incombustible remains left after the combustion. In practically, when
catalytic cracking cycle oil and slurry oil are mixed with fuel oil, the powder of silica-alumina
catalyst will accelerate the abrasion inside pumps and valves. Besides, ash will cover on the heating
surface of boiler, resulting in worsened heat transfer of boiler.

⑹ Mechanical impurities: Mechanical impurities will jam filter mesh, causing oil suction pump
abrasion and oil nozzle jam, as well as the further impacts on normal combustion.

2. Classification of fuel oil As the final product of crude oil refining, the quality of fuel oil is
specially controlled. The quality of the final fuel oil product is determined by many factors such as
the variety of crude oil, processing technique and depth, etc. Fuel oil is classified in line with the
different standards as below:

⑴ According to whether it becomes a commodity at factory, fuel oil is classified as commodity

fuel oil and self-use fuel oil. The commodity fuel oil refers to the fuel oil commoditized at factory;
the self-use fuel oil means the raw materials or fuel sources used for the production at refinery
without becoming the commodity fuel oil at factory.

⑵ According to the processing technique, fuel oil is classified as normal-pressure heavy oil,
decompression heavy oil, catalytic heavy oil and mixed heavy oil. The normal-pressure heavy oil
refers to the heavy oil fractionated from the normal-pressure device at refinery; decompression
heavy oil means the heavy oil fractionated from the decompression device at refinery; the catalytic
heavy oil refers to the heavy oil (known as slurry oil) fractionated from the catalytic and cracking
device; and the mixed heavy oil usually means the mixture of decompression heavy oil and catalytic
heavy oil.

⑶ According to the application, fuel oil is classified as marine fuel oil, boiler fuel oil (heavy oil)
and other fuel oil.

3. Recent situations in domestic market

1、 In recent years, oil price has been at quite a high level domestically. A large quantity of
heavy oil, usually with excessive water content, is available at the market, which does not
meet the national standards. The high water content may increase unsuccessful ignition rate
and decrease combustion performance, and cause flameout during operation. Take out some
heavy oil and put it onto a piece of newspaper and ignite it with a light. You may fail to
ignite it or hear some sizzling sounds if there is excessive water in the oil. This heavy
residue oil must be dehydrated.
2、 The so-called “fuel oil” such as the coal-tar oil, chemical oil, blending oil, etc. features
pungent smell and strong corrosivity. They may cause serious damages to the sealing parts,
oil pump, oil nozzle, oil lance, pneumatic valve and heater of burner. The application of
such “fuel oil” will reduce the service time of burner significantly. Therefore, they are
prohibited to be applied.
3、 There shall be no chemical reactions occurred between heavy residue oil and light oil during
application because pipelines need to be purged by light oil 3mins before the end of the
combustion to prevent heavy oil from being solidified in pipelines so that affecting the
application next time. If there are chemical reactions between heavy residue oil and light oil,
the heavy residue oil inside pipelines may not be able to purge out, resulting in jammed
pipelines. Mix some light oil and heavy oil in a disposable plastic cup, stir the mixture with
some tool. If there are sticky materials or some yellow-mud-like stuff produced, it indicates
that this kind of light oil cannot be applied and shall be replaced with another one; if this
light oil melts the heavy residue oil completely, then it is applicable.

SKP... in general The combination of actuator and valve provides the following functions:
- Safety shutoff valve (SKP15...)
- Safety shutoff valve with gas pressure governor / controller (SKP25..., SKP55...,
and SKP75...)

The electrohydraulic SKP... actuators together with the valves are designed for use with
gases of gas families I...III and air. They are used primarily on gas-fired combustion
plant. The actuators open slowly and close rapidly. They can be combined with any of
the above mentioned valve types and nominal sizes. The actuator can be supplied with
end switch (for indicating the fully closed position).
For information about valve sizing, refer to the «Valve sizing chart» in the Data Sheet of
the relevant valve.

SKP25... The SKP25... operates as a constant pressure governor with a setpoint spring.

Its field of use are primarily forced draft gas burners

- with mechanical fuel / air ratio control
- with electronic fuel / air ratio control

SKP55... The SKP55... operates as a differential pressure governor.

Its field of use are primarily

- combustion plant with combined heat recovery systems
- plant where pressure conditions in the burner and in the combustion chamber do
not change in proportion to load changes
- burners with adjustable fuel / air mixing devices in the burner head
- plant with negative pressure levels on the gas or air side

SKP75... The SKP75... operates as a ratio controller and provides control of the gas pressure
depending on the pressure of the combustion air, ensuring that the gas / air ratio re-
mains constant across the entire load range.
Its field of use are primarily modulating forced draft gas burners.

Warning notes
To prevent injury to persons, damage to property or the environment, the follow-
ing warning notes should be observed!

Do not open, interfere with or modify the actuators!

• 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 pump’s stem must not be pulled
out using the overstroke element
since that part could become loose

Engineering notes
Design of the If the available gas pressure exceeds the maximum permissible operating pressure of
gas train the valve / SKP... (refer to the Data Sheet of the relevant valve), 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.

SKP25..., SKP55..., The impulse pipes must be installed such that the differential pressure can be acquired
SKP75... with no disturbance (unfavorable flow conditions). Pressure test points must not pro-
trude 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 / control-
ler to respond quickly should sudden load changes occur.

SKP75... • Installation of impulse pipes

In the case of unsafe combustion chamber pressure pipes (e.g. resulting from po-
tential 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 impulse pipes for the
combustion air and the combustion chamber pressure must have an inside diame-
ter 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 pres-
sure

• 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 burner’s 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.

Mounting notes
• 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; seal-
ing materials are not required
• Follow the Mounting Instructions included with the actuators:
- For SKP15...: M7643
- For SKP25...: M7643.1
- For SKP55...: M7643.2
- For SKP75...: M7643.3

• Electrical commissioning may only be performed when the SKP… is fitted to the

• Power is supplied and connection of the end switch is made directly via a connect-
ing 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 counter-
stroke required for reaching the fully closed position is completed within about 0.6 sec-
onds.

Installation and commissioning notes (cont´d)

• Adjustment of governor on modulating burners prior to startup:

- The adjusting screw c on the SKP55... should be set to a gas / air ratio curve
which passes through the neutral point. The SKP55... is supplied with that fac-
tory setting.
Adjustment in the field can be made as follows:
Note:
Fit cap again before measuring the combustion value and after the setting is
made.
Turn adjusting screw c in counterclockwise direction until spring i is com-
pletely loose. Shut off the gas supply upstream of the SKP55... Switch on the
SKP55... Turn adjusting screw c in clockwise direction until valve opens
- Bring the adjustable orifice k to the precalculated value. That value with the
same pressure differential on the air and gas side must lead to practically stoi-
chiometric combustion
- Start the burner and run it to about 90 % of the nominal load
- Measure the combustion quality and make adjustments of the flow rate with the
adjustable orifice k until optimum measured values are reached (fine adjust-
ment)
- Return to low-fire operation. Check the combustion and readjust if necessary
the position of the working characteristic with the setting screw c on the
SKP55... until optimum measured values are reached. Clockwise rotation →
more gas. Counterclockwise rotation → less gas, that is, parallel displacement
of the working characteristic towards lack of air or excess air
- Limit the air damper j for low-fire operation
- If a significant parallel displacement of the working characteristic was required,
the setting must be checked again at 90 % of the nominal load and then read-
justed, if required
- Run the burner to the predefined nominal load with the help of the air damper
j and limit the actuator position for that load
- Check the flue gas values at a few positions of the load range. Make readjust-
ments in the nominal load range with the adjustable orifice k, and in the low-
fire range with screw c on the governor of the SKP55...

• Use setting screw c / «PGAS» / «PAIR» to set the gas / air ratio to the required
value (coarse setting) and the scale with setting screw d to zero (refer to
fig. 7643z03)
• Start the burner and run it to about 90 % of the nominal load
• Measure the CO2 or O2 content of the flue gases and optimize the adjustment with
setting screw c / «PGAS» / «PAIR» (refer to fig. 7643z03)
• Return to low-fire operation, check the CO2 or O2 content of the flue gases. If nec-
essary, readjust position of the working characteristic with setting screw d/
until optimum measured values are attained
• Limit the air damper position for low-fire operation

Meaning of setting screw markings:

Installation and commissioning notes (cont´d)

If a significant parallel displacement of the working characteristic was required to obtain

optimum CO2 or O2 values in low-fire operation, the adjustment of the pressure ratio at
nominal load or 90 % of the nominal load must be checked again and readjusted, if
required.

• Run the burner to the required output and limit the nominal load air damper position
• Check the flue gas values at various positions of the load range

If readjustments are required:

- Use setting screw c / «PGAS» / «PAIR» in the nominal load range
- Use setting screw d/ to make parallel displacements of the characteristic in
the flow-fire range

If the gas / air pressure ratio lies outside the setting range, an orifice in the gas or air
flow can be used to adjust the pressure at the test points on the burner side. Prerequi-
site is that there is a sufficient gas or air pressure reserve on the inlet side.

Pressure Switches QPLx5…

The pressure switches are used for monitoring gas or air pressures.
When the pressure falls below or exceeds the adjusted switching point, the re-
spective electrical circuit will be opened or changes over.

The QPLx5... and this Data Sheet are intended for use by OEMs which integrate
the pressure switches in their products.

Use

• For the supervision of air or gas pressures in gas trains of gas-fired equipment (gas
burners)
• The QPLx5... are suitable as pressure switches for minimum or maximum pressure
• Adjustable working pressure range up to 500 mbar
• Able for a permanent operation pressure up to 690 mbar
• Suited for gases of gas families 1, 2 and 3 and other neutral gaseous media

Warning notes
To avoid injury to persons, damage to property or the environment, the following
warning notes should be observed!

Do not open, interfere with or modify the pressure switch!

• All activities (mounting, installation and service work, etc.) must be performed by
qualified staff
• Before making any wiring changes in the connection area of the switch, completely
isolate the equipment from the mains supply (all-polar disconnection)
• Fall or shock can adversely affect the safety functions. Such units must not be put
into operation, even if they do not exhibit any damage
• Do not use the pressure switch in inflammable or explosive gas atmospheres

Engineering notes
Setting the To set the required switching point, remove the cover from the pressure switch and turn
switching point the setting knob clockwise to increase the set value, or counterclockwise to decrease it
(see scale under «Dimensions»). Replace the cover and secure it to prevent tampering.

Mounting notes
• Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations are complied with
• By check piping connections ensure that there are no leaks
• The pressure switch can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, but not in a
suspended position (scale must not pointing downward)
• The pressure switch can be connected via a ¼“ thread or O-ring, depending on the
type of switch
• Refer also to following Mounting Instructions: M7221 → 74 319 0551 0
