Technical description of the burner
3.8.1 Procedure to refer burner operating condition
at an altitude and/or at a combustion supporter
air temperature different to the standard values
(328 ft above sea level, 68 °F).
Tab. H
F - correction factor of discharge head and delivery in relation to temperature and altitude.
Reference conditions:
–
Air temperature 68 °F (20 °C)
– Barometric pressure 394 ''w.c. (1000 mbar)
– Altitude 328 ft a.s.l. (100 m a.s.l.)
Example
Using the , for an altitude of 3,000 ft and an air temperature of 68
°F, an F factor value is obtained equal to 0.908;
if the capacity at the boiler furnace is Qfoc = 4,500 Mbtu/h, the cor-
rect output will be equal to:
Qburner = Qfoc / F = 4,500 / 0.908 = 4,956 Mbtu/h
3.9 Minimum furnace dimensions
The firing rates were set in relation to certified test boilers.
Fig. 6 indicates the diameter and length of the test combustion
chamber.
Example RLS 510/E:
Output 19200 MBtu/hr: diameter 39.4 inch - length 16.5 ft.
