Low NOx Modulating Gas Burners RLS 68 ÷ 160/M MX Series

The RLS/M MX series of burners covers a firing range from 200 to 1840 kW, and they have been designed for use in
hot or superheated water boilers, hot air or steam generators, diathermic oil boilers.
Operation is “two stage” at the oil side and “modulating” at the gas side with the installation of a PID logic regulator
and respective probes.
RLS/M MX series burners guarantees high efficiency levels in all the various applications, thus reducing fuel
consumption and running costs.
Optimisation of sound emissions is guaranteed by the special design of air suction circuit and the use of sound
proofing material.
The exclusive design ensures reduced dimensions, simple use and maintenance. A wide range of accessories
guarantees elevated working flexibility.

BASIC DESIGNATION

EXTENDED DESIGNATION

GAS TRAINS

The burners are fitted with a butterfly valve to regulate the fuel, controlled by a variable profile cam servomotor.
Fuel can be supplied either from the right or left hand sides. A maximum gas pressure switch stops the burner
in case of excess pressure in the fuel line.
The gas train can be selected to best fit system requirements depending on the fuel output and pressure in
the supply line.
The gas train can be “Multibloc” type (containing the main components in a single unit) or “Composed” type
(assembly of the single components).

Low NOx Modulating Gas Burners RLS 68 ÷ 160/M MX Series

Gas trains are approved by standard EN 676 together with the burner.
The overall dimensions of the gas train depends on how they are constructed. The following table shows the
maximum dimensions of the gas trains that can be fitted to RLS/M MX burners, intake and outlet diameters and
seal control if fitted.
The maximum gas pressure of gas train “MULTIBLOC” type is 360 mbar, and that one of gas train “COMPOSED”
type is 500 mbar.
“MULTIBLOC” guarantees a range of pressure towards the burner from 4 to 60 mbar. For version DN 65 and DN 80
is from 20 to 40 mbar. For version DN 100 is from 40 to 80 mbar. The range of pressure in the “MULTIBLOC” with
flange can be modified choosing the stabiliser spring (see gas train accessory).
The maximum gas pressure of gas train “CB” series is 500 mbar. “CB” gas train guarantees a range of pressure
towards the burner from 10 to 30 mbar. The range of pressure can be modified choosing the stabilizer spring
(see accessories).
The maximum gas pressure of gas train “DMV” series is 500 mbar. “DMV” gas train is supplied without pressure
governor.

Pressure Drop Diagram

The diagrams indicate the minimum pressure drop of the burners with the various gas trains that can be matched
with them; at the value of these pressure drop add the combustion chamber pressure.
The value thus calculated represents the minimum required input pressure to the gas train.
The minimum input gas pressure required is 15 mbar while burner operating.
In particular, the pressure difference between gas train upstream and downstream has to remain always over
pressure drop values indicated below.

Hydraulic Circuit

The burners are fitted with three valves (a safety valve and
two oil delivery valves) along the oil line from the pump to the
nozzle.
A thermostatic control device, on the basis of required output,
regulates oil delivery valves opening, allowing light oil passage
trough the valves and to the nozzle.
Delivery valves open contemporary to the air damper opening,
controlled by a servomotor.
The pumping group is fitted whit a pump, an oil filter and a
regulating valve: through this it is possible to manually adjusts
atomised pressure, which in factory is preset at 12 bar.

Selecting the Fuel Supply lines

The fuel feed must be completed with the safety devices required by the
local norms.

The table shows the choice of piping diameter, depending on the

difference in height between the burner and the tank and their distance.

Ventilation

The ventilation circuit produces low noise levels with high performances
pressure and air output, in despite of the compact dimensions.
The special design of the air suction circuit and the use of sound-
proofing material keeps noise level very low.
A variable profile cam connects the fuel and air regulations, ensuring
high fuel efficiency at all firing ranges.
A minimum air pressure switch stops the burner when there is an
insufficient quantity of air at the combustion head.

Example of the servomotor for air/gas setting

Combustion Head

Different lengths of the combustion head can be chosen for the

RLS/M MX series of burners.
The choice depends on the thickness of the front panel and the type of
boiler.
Depending on the type of generator, check that the penetration of the
head into the combustion chamber is correct.
The internal positioning of the combustion head can easily be adjusted
to the maximum defined output by adjusting a screw fixed to the flange.

Note: The burners of RLS/M MX series are not suitable to be installed on boiler with “reverse
flame chamber”.

Operation

BURNER OPERATION MODE

The RLS/M MX series of burners can have “two stage” operation at the oil
side and “modulating” operation at the gas side with the installation
of a PID logic regulator and respective probes. When burner is supplied
with light oil a modulation ratio of 2:1 is reached thanks to the “two
nozzles” solution; when burner is supplied with gas modulation ratio
is 6:1.
The air is adapted to the servomotor rotations.

Example of a regulator

On “two stage” operation, the burner gradually adjusts output to the requested level, by varying between the
two pre-set levels (see picture A).

In “modulating” operation, normally required in steam generators, in superheated boilers or diathermic oil
burners, a specific regulator and probes are required. These are supplied as accessories that must be ordered
separately. The burner can work for long periods at intermediate output levels (see picture B).

Safe and Green

In the RLS/M MX burners part of the gas is distributed
through outlets which are perpendicular to the air
flow, while the remaining gas is injected directly into
the centre of the flame.
This prevents no homogeneous concentrations in the
flame with areas of high oxidation,
producing very stable flame with gradual and
progressive combustion as the flame develops, thus
giving polluting emission values below even the most
restrictive norm values.

Installation Description

Installation, start up and maintenance must be carried out by qualified and skilled personnel.
All operations must be performed in accordance with the technical handbook supplied with the burner.

BURNER SETTING

All the burners have slide bars, for easier installation

and maintenance.

After drilling the boilerplate, using the supplied

gasket as a template, dismantle the blast tube from
the burner and fix it to the boiler.

Adjust the combustion head.

Fit the gas train choosing this on the basis of the

maximum boiler output and following the diagrams
included in the burner instruction handbook.

Refit the burner casing to the slide bars.

Install the nozzle choosing this on the basis of the

maximum boiler output and following the diagrams
included in the burner instruction handbook.

Check the position of the electrodes.

Close the burner, sliding it up to the flange, keeping it

slightly raised to avoid the flame stability disk rubbing
against the blast tube.

ELECTRICAL AND HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS AND START UP

The burners are supplied for connection to two pipes

fuel supply system.

Connect the ends of the flexible pipes to the suction

and return pipework using the supplied nipples.

Make the electrical connections to the burner

following the wiring diagrams included in the
instruction handbook.

Prime the pump by turning the motor (after checking

rotation direction if it is a three phase motor).

Adjust the gas train for first start.

On start up, check:

- Pressure pump and valve unit regulator (to max.
and min).
- Gas pressure at the combustion head (to max. and
min. output).
- Combustion quality, in terms of unburned substances
and excess air.
