4.14.3 Gas pressure
The Tab. J shows minimum pressure losses along the gas supply
line depending on the maximum burner output operation.
The values shown in the Tab. J refer to natural gas (GCV).
Column 1
Pressure loss at combustion head.
Gas pressure measured at the test point 1)(Fig. 29), with:
– combustion chamber at “WC;
– burner working at maximum output;
– combustion head adjusted as in the diagram of Fig. 21 on
page 28.
Column 2
Pressure loss at gas butterfly valve 2)(Fig. 29) with maximum
opening: 90°.
Calculate the approximate maximum output of the burner as fol-
lows:
– subtract the combustion chamber pressure from the gas pres-
sure measured at test point 1)(Fig. 29);
– find, in the Tab. J relating to the burner concerned, the pres-
sure value closest to the result of the subtraction;
– read off the corresponding output on the left.
Example for RLS 500/E:
• Maximum output operation
• Gas pressure at test point 1)(Fig. 29) = 11.7 “WC
• Pressure in combustion chamber = 2 “WC
11.7 - 2 = 9.7 “WC
An output of 15148 MBtu/hr shown in Tab. J corresponds to
9.7 “WC pressure, column 1.
This value serves as a rough guide, the effective delivery must be
measured at the gas meter.
Note
See the accompanying instructions for the adjustment of the gas
train.
