5.11.4 Gas pressure
Tab. N indicates the minimum pressure drops along the gas sup-
ply line, depending on the maximum burner output.
The values shown in Tab. N refer to:
– Natural gas G 20 NCV 9.45 kWh/Sm
3
(8.2 Mcal/Sm

)
– Natural gas G 25 NCV 8.13 kWh/Sm

(7.0 Mcal/Sm

)
Column 1
Pressure drop on combustion head.
Gas pressure measured at the test point P1) (Fig. 22), with:
• Combustion chamber at 0 mbar;
• Burner working at maximum output;
• Combustion head adjusted as in page 21.
Column 2
Pressure loss at gas butterfly valve 10) (Fig. 20) with maximum
opening: 90°.
Calculate the approximate maximum output of the burner in this
way:
– subtract the combustion chamber pressure from the gas
pressure measured at test point P1) (Fig. 22).
– Find, in the table Tab. N related to the burner concerned, the
pressure value closest to the result of the subtraction.
– read the corresponding output on the left.
Example for RS 650/E BLU with G20 natural gas:
Maximum output operation
Gas pressure at test point P1)(Fig. 22) = 25.6 mbar
Pressure in combustion chamber = 2 mbar
25.6 - 2 = 23.6 mbar
A pressure of 23.6 mbar, column 1, corresponds in the table Tab.
N to an output of 4,500 kW.
This value serves as a rough guide; the effective output must be
measured at the gas meter.
To calculate the required gas pressure at test point P1) (Fig. 22),
set the MAX output required from the burner operation:
– find the nearest output value in the table Tab. N for the burner
in question.
– read, on the right (column 1), the pressure at the test point
P1)(Fig. 22).
– Add this value to the estimated pressure in the combustion
chamber.
Example for RS 650/E BLU with G20 natural gas:
Required burner maximum output operation: 4500 kW
Gas pressure at an output of 4,500 kW = 23.6 mbar
Pressure in combustion chamber = 2 mbar
23.6 + 2 = 25.6 mbar
Pressure required at test point P1)(Fig. 22).
