In all boilers, regardless of fuel being burnt or configuration, a 10” X 10” Cerafiber pad should be installed
under the flame. This pad is not for acoustic purposes, it is to keep the area under the nozzle warm to prevent
flame out.
Good, reliable operation with a minimum of service starts with attention to the small details:
1. Setting the nozzle position and electrodes "by the book" using the
manufacturer's gauges.
2. Installing a quality micron filter at the burner.
3. Making careful/tight flare connections without couplings on oil suction line.
4. Checking fuel pump pressure.
5. Checking draft at the breeching to insure it is adequate to overcome flue
gas resistance.
6. Setting the air band properly with well maintained instruments. A good
target is 11% to 12.5% of (CO
2
) or 6.5% to 3.8% of (O
2
).
To ensure proper burner setup, gauges should be used to check things such as the pump pressure, CO
2
levels,
etc...
