Appendix - Gas supply pressure
C
The adjacent tables show minimum load losses along
the gas supply line depending on the maximum burner
output operation.
Column 1
Load loss at combustion head.
Gas pressure measured at the test point 1)(Fig. 36),
with:
• combustion chamber at 0 mbar;
• burner working at maximum output;
• Ring nut 2)(Fig. 15) adjusted as in the diagram of Fig. 16
Column 2
Load loss at gas butterfly valve 2)(Fig. 36) with maxi-
mum opening: 90°.
Column 3
Load loss at train 3)(Fig. 36) including: adjustment
valve VR, safety valve VS (both fully open), pressure
adjuster R, filter F.
The values shown in the tables refer to:
natural gas G 20 PCI 9.45 kWh/Sm
3
(8.2 Mcal/Sm
3
)
With:
natural gas G 25 PCI 8.13 kWh/Sm
3
(7.0 Mcal/Sm
3
) multiply the values of the tables:
- columns 1-2: by 1.5;
- column 3: by 1.35.
To know
the approximate output at which the burner is
operating at its maximum:
- Subtract the combustion chamber pressure from the
gas pressure measured at test point 1)(Fig. 36);
- find, in the table relating to the burner concerned,
column 1, the pressure value closest to the result
you want;
- read the corresponding output on the left.
Example - RS 45/E BLU:
• Maximum output operation
• Natural gas G 20 PCI 9.45 kWh/Sm
3
• Ring nut 2)(Fig.15) adjusted as in the diagram of Fig. 16
• Gas pressure at test point 1)(Fig. 36) = 7.5 mbar
• Pressure in combustion chamber = 2.0 mbar
7.5 - 2.0 = 5.5 mbar
A maximum output of 320 kW shown in Table RS 45/E
BLU corresponds to a pressure of 5.5 mbar, column 1.
This value serves as a rough guide; the effective out-
put must be measured at the gas meter.
To know
the required gas pressure at test point
1)(Fig. 36), set the maximum output required from the
burner operation, then:
- find the nearest output value in the table for the
burner in question.
- read, on the right (column 1) the socket pressure
1)(Fig. 36);
- add this value to the estimated pressure in the com-
bustion chamber.
Example - RS 45/E BLU:
• Maximum output required: 320 kW
• Natural gas G 20 PCI 9.45 kWh/Sm
3
• Ring nut 2)(Fig. 15) adjusted as in the diagram of Fig. 16
• Gas pressure at output of 320 kW, taken from table
RS 45/E BLU, column 1 = 5.5 mbar
• Pressure in combustion chamber = 2.0 mbar
5.5 + 2.0 = 7.5 mbar
gas pressure at test point 1)(Fig. 36)
