What are the reasons why the burner cannot start?
During the use of gas burners, there are many malfunctions that cause them to fail to ignite, which is also a concern for many people. I have previously discussed similar articles, but now I will explain the reasons why burners fail to ignite?
There are many reasons why the burner cannot ignite. Below, we will discuss the main reasons and solutions:
(l) The opening of the air door of the burner is too large or the opening of the chimney baffle is too large, resulting in too much air entering the furnace, making it difficult for the burner to ignite. The solution is to reduce the opening of the burner’s air door and chimney baffle, wait for ignition, and then adjust the air door and baffle to the appropriate opening.
(2) When the pressure of the fuel oil is greater than the pressure of the atomized steam, it is also difficult for the burner to ignite. The solution is to adjust the fuel oil pressure to about 98kPa lower than the pressure of atomized steam.
(3) If the pressure or temperature of fuel oil is too low, relevant units should be contacted to increase the pressure or temperature of fuel oil.
(4) If the pressure or temperature of high-pressure gas is too low, relevant units should be contacted to increase the pressure or temperature of the gas.
(5) Fuel oil contains too much water, and relevant units should be contacted for timely dehydration.
(6) High pressure gas contains too much oil and water, and relevant units should be contacted for timely oil and dehydration.
(7) If the steam volume is too large and the fuel oil volume is too small, the steam valve should be closed and the fuel oil valve should be opened appropriately to achieve the appropriate oil to steam ratio.
