Mk8 MM Manual Page | 12 VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES Please fully read and understand the following notes before commencing with any work related to the Mk8 MM. Failing to do so can result in serious injury or even death, and can cause serious equipment and property damage. Any person working on a boiler must be adequately trained and have a thorough understanding and appreciation of the boiler plant. It is the responsibility of the technician working on the plant to ensure that the system operation meets all local codes and regulations. Options, Parameters and Expansion Options must only be changed by an Autoflame-trained and certified technician who has thorough understanding of the Autoflame combustion control systems and boiler/combustion control in general. Any person changing these settings without undergoing the necessary training and gaining understanding of the boiler plant may place themselves and others in a potentially dangerous situation or cause permanent equipment damage. Modification to the Autoflame system settings should only ever be carried out by qualified combustion engineers. Changes to the Autoflame control system setup has the potential to make the controller operate in an unstable and potentially unsafe manner. Commissioning or burner start-up must only be carried out by a an Autoflame- trained and certified technician. The commissioning procedure as described must be strictly adhered to. Anybody commissioning an Autoflame system must be trained in operating combustion equipment safely. Autoflame products must only be installed, set up, commissioned and adjusted by an Autoflame certified technician. The fundamental idea of the system is to set a fuel valve position and then set a corresponding air damper position. Care must be taken when adjusting the fuel and air positions so as not to create any unstable or hazardous combustion conditions, e.g. moving the fuel valve to the open position without increasing the air damper position. Improper use may result in property damage, serious physical injury or death. Electrical connections are live, incorrect application may result in serious physical injury or death. If you are unclear about anything related to the Autoflame system, please contact Autoflame for technical advice.

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 15 1.1.2 Overview of Micro-Modulation (MM) To ensure maximum efficiency and reliability of the boiler plant operation, two requirements are of paramount importance, the air to fuel ratio and the target temperature or pressure: • The air to fuel ratio must be kept to the minimum to ensure complete combustion within the limitations of the combustion head design. A very high air to fuel ratio will be an indication of high excess air, which decreases the overall efficiency of the boiler. The fuel valve and air damper positions set for this minimum air to fuel ratio along the whole commission curve must be infinitely repeatable to an incredibly high degree of accuracy. • The target temperature or pressure of the boiler must be monitored by the combustion system and at all times, with exactly the right amount of fuel and air fired to achieve this target value. Irrespective of load changes, the burner/boiler system should be able to meet the target temperature or pressure. The burner’s fuel to air ratio was traditionally governed by mechanical systems which involved multiple cams, shafts and linkages controlled by one motor. The inherent hysteresis that occurred from the system design allowing components to be loose, which made the level of accuracy required impossible. With this poor accuracy, the response of the fuel input to the monitored temperature/ pressure of the boiler meant that the set target value at most times would overshoot or fall short. The Micro-Modulation module is the basic building block of the Autoflame System. The Autoflame MM provides an easily programmable and flexible means of optimising combustion quality throughout the load requirement range of the burner/boiler unit whilst ensuring the temperature is accurate to within 1°C (°F) and pressure to within 1 PSI (0.1Bar). Using direct drive motors to individually control the air damper and fuel valve(s), gives the optimum combustion of the burner at every point along the firing range. The allowed error in angular degrees of rotation between the two servomotors at any position in the load range is 0.1°. This automated system of burner control can achieve ‘locked on’ near stoichiometric air to fuel mixing throughout the fuel input range of the boiler while maintaining exact temperature or pressure target values. The load control incorporates user-variable Proportional Integral Derivative control. The PID control is infinitely adjustable to match any boiler room requirements.

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 66 Par.# Default Range Description 109 0 MM: Software Voltage Conditioner The MM performs internal tests to ensure that the mains power is safe for the unit to operate (zero crossing and mains input tests). When these tests return a negative result the MM generates a fault. This parameter governs the way the MM handle these tests results; setting 1 makes the MM more tolerant to the mains power instability while setting 2 disables the errors altogether. Note: Setting 2 should only be used temporarily while investigating and correcting the cause of mains power instability. Running the MM continually on unstable power can degrade the MM and cause permanent damage to the unit. 0 Standard 1 Increased 2 Errors Disabled Parameters 110 – 160 are a repeat of their corresponding options and will need to have the same value. It is the responsibility of the commissioning engineer to ensure that all settings are set in accordance with the appropriate standards, local codes and practices. If options 110 – 160 are not identical with the parameters 110 – 160, then the MM will go straight to Commissioning Mode and an option/ parameter conflict message will appear.

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 67 3 COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE 3.1 Overview Important Note: Prior to commissioning, the fuel and air servomotors must be calibrated to ensure that the position of the valves and damper correspond to the potentiometer feedback signal as displayed on the MM. When the valve is fully closed, the MM should display zero degrees. If it does not, please adjust the servomotor potentiometer. The commissioning procedure as described must be strictly adhered to. Anybody commissioning an MM must be trained in operating combustion equipment safely. The Autoflame products must only be installed, set up, commissioned and adjusted by an Autoflame certified technical engineer. The fundamental idea of the system is to set a fuel valve position and then set a corresponding air damper position. Care must be taken when adjusting the fuel and air positions so as not to create any unstable or hazardous combustion conditions, e.g. moving the fuel valve to the open position without increasing the air damper position. Improper use may result in property damage, serious physical injury or death. If the MM is commissioned without an EGA then a combustion analyser is required to check the exhaust gases. If the system does have an EGA, then a combustion analyser is not necessary as the EGA performs all normal exhaust gas measurements. When commissioning oil fuel, a smoke detection device is also necessary to check that the smoke generated is within safe limits. Once a start position has been entered, the high fire position is entered next, then descending fuel/air positions are entered consecutively until finally the low fire position is entered. CH1 and CH2 positions must always be less than the ones previously entered; however CH3 to CH7 can be set lower or higher than the previous position. CH7 is used for the draught servomotor (unlockable expansion feature). MM Channel Use (Normal Mode) Use (DFOM - COF) Ch1 Fuel valve Fuel 1 Valve Ch2 Air damper Air Damper Ch3 Auxiliary Servomotor Fuel 2 Valve Ch4 Auxiliary Servomotor Auxiliary Servomotor Ch5 VSD 1 VSD 1 Ch6 VSD 2 VSD 2 Ch7* Draught servomotor Draught servomotor * unlockable expansion feature On a newly installed system the following procedures should be carried out as listed: 1. Set up Fuel Valves Output Configuration Mode (refer to section 4 of this guide). 2. Check all interconnecting wiring between the MM and external components is correct. 3. Set options, parameters and expansion options required (refer to section 2). 4. Commission bottom blowdown module if optioned. 5. Commission water level probes and external level sensor if optioned. 6. Set up servomotors. 7. Program fuel/air positions. On a previously commissioned system is it possible to omit steps 1 to 5.

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 68 3.2 Installation Checks 3.2.1 Commissioning Checks When all the installation and burner adjustments are completed, the entire burner control system should be tested in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The procedure should verify the correct operation of: 1. Each operating control (temperature, pressure etc.) 2. Each limit switch (temperature, pressure, low water cut-off, etc.) 3. Each interlock switch (airflow switch, high and low fuel pressure or temperature switches, purge and low fire switches, fuel valve proof of closure interlock etc.) 4. Pilot flame failure response and lockout. 5. Main flame failure response and lockout. 6. Tight shut-off for all valves. 3.2.2 Operational Checks 1. Close manual main shut-off valve. 2. Check all limit circuit wiring for proper operation and correct connection. 3. Confirm that the automatic main fuel valves are wired correctly. 4. Power the control and electronically check the proper sequence of operation. 5. After assuring yourself that all the interlocks and valves are properly wired and that the sequence of operation is correct, open the manual main shut-off fuel valve and proceed cautiously through the boiler light off process. Check all safety interlocks for proper shutdown of the boiler. 3.2.3 Installation Precautions The reliability of the equipment may be impaired if used in environments where strong electromagnetic fields exist e.g. if the equipment is installed in a boiler house where radio systems exist then additional EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) measures may have to be considered. Please contact Autoflame for more information. 3.2.4 Maintenance and Servicing The Micro-Modulation unit uses solid state technology. It requires no routine maintenance. The servomotors/gas/oil/FGR valves do require routine maintenance. Any fault associated with these parts is usually diagnosed by the MM. Contact Autoflame for preventative maintenance procedures, please refer to the Valves and Servomotors manual for general checks.

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 69 3.3 Servomotors Autoflame supply three standard sizes of servomotors – small, large and industrial, which can be used for all channels. Autoflame fuel valves require small or large servomotors only. Both small and large servomotors can be configured to drive clockwise or counter clockwise to open a valve or damper. Servomotors can be installed in any orientation; 2 fixed rotation positions if using Autoflame valves. For layout of the small, large and industrial servomotors please refer to the Valves and Servomotors manual. Viewing the shaft end-on, from the potentiometer end, all servomotors drive in a clockwise direction if power is applied between the LIVE and CW terminals, and counter clockwise if the power is applied between the LIVE and CCW terminal. The operation of fuel valves and air dampers is often such that they open in a clockwise direction. If the operation needs to be reversed, it is necessary to swap various wiring connections between the MM and the servomotor(s). An example of reversing the operation of a servomotor is shown in Figure 3.3.3. Note: Servomotors are supplied by the factory set at 0.0o position. Remember that this position may not necessarily automatically position the damper at 0.0o or a closed position. This must be physically checked. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. 3.3.1 Adjusting the Servomotor Potentiometer Before a burner is fired it is essential to set up each Micro-Modulation servomotor. A tamper proof screwdriver is required (please contact Autoflame). Usually control valves/air dampers that the servomotors drive, move through up to 90.0o angular degrees. The MM system has the ability to drive valves through 360.0o degrees, but the MM will only display from - 6.0o to 96.0o degrees. All Channel 1 to 4 and 7 readings displayed on the MM are in angular degrees. It is necessary to adjust the potentiometer in the servomotor assembly so that the MM reads 0.0o when the relevant valve/damper is at its fully closed position. The technician must physically check the mechanical position of the dampers and valves, whilst all servomotors are set to 0.0o before leaving the factory this may have changed during shipping. DO NOT ASSUME THEY HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY SET CORRECTLY. Put the MM into the commissioning mode and press CLOSE to position the valve/damper mechanically by using the appropriate up and down buttons (see section 3.4.2). Remove the servomotor cover. For air servomotors carry out the following procedure: Use the channel 2 up/down buttons on the MM to position the air damper to its physically closed position. Loosen the two tamper proof screws just enough to enable the potentiometer to rotate. Rotate the potentiometer clockwise or counter clockwise until the relevant channel reads 0.0. Tighten the two tamper proof screws gently until the potentiometer is secure. Do not over tighten the screws. Check that the display still reads 0.0. If incorrect repeat the adjustment process. For fuel servomotors carry out the following procedure: On Autoflame gas, oil and gas/oil piggy-back valves it is necessary to remove the servomotor. Manually position the oil/gas valve slot to its closed position. Observe the position of the drive pin on the servomotor. Use the relevant channel up/down buttons to position the pin so that when the servomotor is reassembled to the valve it is in line with the slot. Reassemble the servomotor to the valve, loosen the two tamper proof screws and proceed to adjust the potentiometer position until 0.0o is displayed. Use the external position indicator to ensure the valve is in the fully closed position.

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 70 3.3.2 Servomotor Feedback Voltage In applications where the servomotor is not positioned close to the display then it is possible to measure the feedback voltage from the servomotor in order to ensure that 0.0 degrees is displayed. By testing the DC voltage between the blue and green wires (wiper and 0V) on the servomotor low voltage terminals this will read 0.21V DC when the reading on the display is 0O. The same can be done for when the servomotor is at 96.0O where the voltage will be 3.6V. 3.3.3 Servomotors – Direction Change

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 71 3.3.4 Servomotors with Autoflame Valves On threaded valves, the pin on the top of the valve is 90 degrees opposite from the position of the butterfly valve. On flanged valves, the pin on the top of the valve is in line with the position of the butterfly valve. For both valves the external visual position indicator is in line with the position of the butterfly valve. Regardless of the type of valve being used, the servomotor is dispatched from the factory with the potentiometer in the zero position. The same servomotor will be correct for both types of valve, as the servomotor for the threaded valve is mounted at 90 degrees different from the flanged valve. Figure 3.3.4.i Valve Pin Positions

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 72 3.4 Commissioning Fuel and Air Positions The following procedure is shown for commissioning the EGA with option 12 set to 0 (Not Optioned), or 1 (Monitoring only). Trim can be added later by setting option 12 to 2 (Applies trim) or 3 (Applies trim, combustion limits tested). Please see section 3.7 for adding/adjusting the trim data later during Single Point Change. If the EGA is optioned later in Online Changes, the MM will not require a full re-commission; the trim data can be added in Single Point Change. For option 12 set to 0 or 1 during commissioning, omit section 3.4.6. For option 12 set to 2 or 3 during commissioning, please include section 3.4.6. The fuel and air positions need to be programmed for the following points: CLOSED, OPEN, GOLDEN START (if optioned), FGR START (if optioned), LOW FIRE (START), INTER POINTS, and HIGH FIRE. There must be a minimum of 3 INTER points entered on the fuel-air curve, and a maximum of 18. Points can be added/removed in Single Point Change mode (see section 3.7). During commissioning the required setpoint is not active; the internal stat remains on at all times regardless of the actual value. Ensure that the high limit stat is set correctly and wired into the recycling interlock (T53), as this will turn the burner off in the event that the safe working maximum temperature or pressure of the boiler is exceeded. The high limit stat should be set below the rating of the safety valve, please see the manufacturer’s guidelines for the safety valve for that boiler. Note: If a fault occurs, the boiler goes above the high limit stat or power is lost to the MM during commissioning, no data is stored. The points entered are only stored within the MM once the commission has been completed.

Note: No error checking of the servomotors is enabled at this stage, therefore, do not to drive the servomotors/ dampers beyond any mechanical limitations that may be present on the damper/valve. This may cause damage to the servomotor and/or the damper/valve. Use the buttons to set the positions to 0.0O. Note: Double check the damper/valve is physically at the 0.0 (closed) position. This can be achieved by checking for external indications on the damper assembly or the fuel valve. It is the engineer’s responsibility to ensure that the servomotors are correctly calibrated. Incorrect calibration can cause serious injury or death. Press to store the CLOSED position. The burner motor output T58 will energise at this point. A message will then be displayed ‘Enter OPEN Position.’

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 75 3.4.3 Enter OPEN Position Figure 3.4.3.i Enter OPEN Position Press and then drive the fuel and air servomotors to their OPEN position. The button hold facility allows multiple channels to be driven up or down at the same time. Press on the blue circles next to the channels; once selected they will appear as to indicate the channels are selected. Use the buttons to drive both servomotors to the OPEN position simultaneously. This is normally 90.0 o for Autoflame gas butterfly valves and burner air dampers, but may be set to less than 90.0 o if there are mechanical stops/limits on third party valves. Channels 5 and 6 cannot be adjusted at this stage, its calibration is dictated by the drive set-up and relevant options. Press to save the OPEN positions. Pressing on the Fuel-Air tab at any time will give you a graph showing the fuel and air servomotor angles.

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 76 3.4.4 Set up START Position Figure 3.4.4.i Set up START Position Once the system has purged (see options/ parameters 75 and 112), the message ‘Set up START Position’ will display on the MM. Press and drive the servomotors to their START position. To enter a fuel START position which is less than 10 degrees below the OPEN position, you must drive the servomotor below this band, and then back open. For example, if the CH1 OPEN position is set at 90.0O, to set a CH1 START position of 83.0O, you must drive the CH1 servomotor to below 80.0O and then to 83.0O. WARNING: ENTERING THE START POSITION BEFORE REDUCING FUEL INPUT APPROPRIATELY COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY OR DEATH. Press to enter the START position, where a light off can take place. These fuel and air positions are not stored permanently as it is just a light-off position to put a flame in the boiler and begin the commissioning process.

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 77 3.4.5 Phase Hold When the system is in commissioning mode only, the Phase Hold feature enables the commissioning engineer to pause the ignition sequence of the burner to make adjustments to the gas regulator if needed. The phase hold feature can be used in pilot open, pilot proving and main flame proving. If the phase is held in the pilot open stage and the flame goes out, a lockout will occur after 20 seconds. However, if the phase is held in either the pilot proving or main flame proving stages, the MM will lockout immediately if the flame scanner does not detect a flame. If the flame is present and the ‘phase hold’ condition is left indefinitely the ‘Freeze Timeout’ lockout will occur after 10 minutes. When the system is in a run mode the facility is disabled. To make adjustments with the gas manually, press to keep the system at its current phase positions, a little blue dot on this ‘button’ will appear to indicate that the phase is held. Ensure that the main fuel valve is manually isolated until the pilot flame has been successfully established. Once this has been successfully established, gradually introduce the main fuel supply to the burner while observing the flame stability. Continue to introduce fuel until the manual operated main fuel isolation valve is fully open providing safe and stable combustion that can be maintained. If the combustion is not safe and stable, then adjust the fuel/air ratio accordingly. Once the adjustments have been made, press to continue with the commissioning process. WARNING: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FACTORY TRAINED TECHNICIAN TO ENSURE THAT USE OF THE PHASE HOLD FACILITY DOES NOT LEAD TO A HAZADOUS SITUATION. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, CRITICAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 78 3.4.6 Add Trim Data During Commissioning If option 12 is set to 2 or 3 during commissioning, when setting the servomotors for the HIGH, INTER, GOLDEN START, FGR START and START positions, the trim data will also need to be saved for the fuel rich and air rich trim conditions. The message ‘Waiting for EGA readings’ will display. Figure 3.4.6.i Sampling Press on the EGA tab to display the EGA readings.

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 79 Figure 3.4.6.ii Commissioning with Trim After you press to save those servomotor positions, the EGA will carry out its fuel rich and air rich trim. Once these trim values have been saved, the system will continue with the commissioning process. Note: If the MM has not been enabled for trim during commissioning, this can be added later by setting option12 for trim, and going into Single Point Change to add trim to each point, see section 3.7.

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 80 3.4.7 Commissioning VSD Figure 3.4.7.i Commissioning VSD Press on the VSD tab to view the VSD output and input signal during commissioning. If the MM has been enabled with VSD for commissioning and then disabled, or vice versa, a conflict message will appear ‘VSD configuration does not match commissioning.’ If there is little movement required with the VSD signal, the feedback fault tolerance should be set accordingly. If the tolerance is not set according to the variation, an error ‘VSD feedback change too small’ will occur. Please see options 99 and 109 for the VSD fault tolerance, which ensures that a VSD can be verified to be at the correct speed at low fire and different to that of high fire. This also ensures that VSD signal is checked for fixed values and cannot be bypassed, preventing an unsafe condition with reduced air than commissioned. The minimum feedback variation applies to both the upper and lower limits so the total commission must allow for the two combined.

Figure 3.4.8.i Set GOLDEN START Position Press to enter the GOLDEN START position. After entering the GOLDEN START position, proceed to the commissioning steps in section 3.4.9 if FGR START has been enabled, or 3.4.10 if no FGR START is enabled. Enabling Golden Start on a Commissioned System If the system has already been commissioned without Golden Start enabled, go into Commission mode and set option 29 to enable Golden Start. The forced commission message will appear as ‘Golden Start optioned but not commissioned.’ Press on the home screen and once the system goes through its internal relay tests, the message ‘Select Commissioning’ will appear. Press to go through the commissioning process and enter the CLOSED, OPEN and light-off START positions. After the entering the light-off START position, the message ‘Set Golden Start Position’ will appear; press to enter the stored GOLDEN START position and continue with the full commissioning procedure. in section 3.4.9 if FGR START has been enabled, or 3.4.10 if no FGR START is enabled.

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 82 message ‘Select Commissioning’ will appear. Press and the MM will go through purge. The message ‘Set up START position’ will appear to ignite a flame in the burner, see section 3.4.4. Once the burner is firing, the message ‘Set Golden Start Position’ will appear. Press to enter the GOLDEN START position. The message ‘Save Commission’ will appear, press to save the GOLDEN START position and then press to return to run mode. Note: If FGR START has also been enabled, this positon must be entered after the GOLDEN START position. The Golden Start position of the fuel and air servomotors is completely independent from the modulating load index and commissioned value data. The facility is particularly useful on combustion systems with large turndowns and when firing heavy oil, as it enables the burner to start/ignite at a fuel rich position and then, after a stable flame is established, return to the commissioned combustion curve. The Golden Start position needs to be entered for each required fuel. The MM holds the Golden Start position for a time set in Parameter 15; this time starts from the point of main flame. After this time, if the Golden Start fuel position is between Low Fire and High Fire, the air damper will open and the fuel valve will stay in the same position, until fuel/air ratio is on the commissioned combustion curve. If the Golden Start fuel position is outside of the main curve, then both the air damper and fuel will go to the Low Fire position. Once on the commission curve, the MM will modulate as per load requirement. Golden Start can be set in Option 29 to start from first ignition instead of after the main flame stabilisation phase has passed, this is particularly useful for briefly providing additional fuel when starting an oil flame with direct spark (no pilot mode – see option 111)

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 83 3.4.9 Set FGR Position If FGR Start has been enabled in options 48, 49 or 50 on a system which has not been commissioned, the message ‘Set FGR Position’ will display after entering the light-off START position. If Golden Start has been enabled in option 29, this message will appear after entering the GOLDEN START position. Figure 3.4.9.i Set FGR Position Press to enter the FGR START position. After entering the FGR START position, proceed to the commissioning steps in section 3.4.10. Enabling FGR Start on a Commissioned System If the system has already been commissioned without FGR Start enabled, go into Commission mode and set option 48, 49 or 50 to enable FGR Start. The forced commission message will appear as ‘FGR optioned but not commissioned.’ Press on the home screen and once the system goes through its internal relay tests, the message ‘Select Commissioning’ will appear. Press to go through the commissioning process and enter the CLOSED, OPEN, light-off START and GOLDEN START (if enabled) positions. After the entering the light-off START or GOLDEN START (if enabled) position, the message ‘Set FGR Position’ will appear; press to enter the stored FGR START position and continue with the full commissioning procedure in section 3.4.10. Alternatively, to just add the FGR Start position and not go through the whole commissioning procedure, press on the home screen, and once the system has gone through its internal relay tests the

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 84 message ‘Select Commissioning’ will appear. Press and the MM will go through purge. The message ‘Set up START position’ will appear to ignite a flame in the burner, see section 3.4.4. Once the burner is firing, the message ‘Set FGR Position’ will appear. Press to enter the FGR START position. The message ‘Save Commission’ will appear, press to save the FGR START position and then press to return to run mode. Note: If both Golden Start and FGR are optioned then the GOLDEN START position is entered before the FGR START position. Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR) is a method whereby a quantity (approximately 15%) of the boiler flue gases are fed back to the burner and mixed with the combustion air. The virtue of FGR is the reduction of NOx gases. With the FGR facility, servomotor channel 3 can be used to control the amount of flue gas fed back. It is not good practice to feed back the gases when the flue gas is cold, so all the elements (i.e. servomotors and VSD) can be set at ‘FGR’ positions until the gases are hot. During this time the CH3 would normally be set closed. Once the FGR holding conditions are met, modulation takes place in the normal way using the curve entered during commissioning. FGR can be set as a Timer, Offset or Temperature Threshold (see options 48, 49 and 50). Note: Golden start takes priority over FGR. Once the golden start timer has finished, the servomotors will go straight to the FGR start position.

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 85 3.4.10 Set HIGH Position Figure 3.4.10.i Set HIGH Position Once all the START, GOLDEN START and FGR START positions have been entered, the message ‘Set HIGH Position’ will appear. Press and drive the servomotors (and VSD if optioned) to the HIGH position by opening the air damper and fuel valve some degrees alternatively, so that more fuel is added gradually. It is not possible to enter the HIGH position higher than the OPEN position. The servomotors must be driven 0.5° up/down from the previous point initially, before entering the next point, the fuel. Press to store this HIGH position. WARNING: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMMISSIONING ENGINEER TO ENSURE THAT THE FLAME IS SAFE AND THERE IS A GOOD COMBUSTION AT ALL TIMES DURING COMMISSIONING.

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 86 3.4.11 Set INTER Position Figure 3.4.11.i Set INTER Position Once the HIGH position has been entered, the message ‘Set INTER Position’ will appear. Press to drive the servomotors (and VSD) to the first INTER positon. The message ‘Move fuel and air positions’ will appear at first, as the system must detected a 0.5O movement on CH1 and CH2 before an INTER position can be entered. Press to store this INTER position. There must be a minimum of 3 INTER points entered on the fuel-air curve, and a maximum of 18. Points can be added/removed in Single Point Change mode (see section 3.6). Continue this process until all the required INTER points have been entered.

Press to drive the servomotors (and VSD) to the START/ LOW FIRE position, and then press to store this. Note: If Golden Start or FGR Start are in use, the Start position is only used for Low Fire.

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 88 3.4.13 Save Commission 3.4.13.i Save Commission Once the START position has been entered, press to store this commission curve. The message ‘Commission Complete’ will appear and press to go normal firing mode. If the burner has been previously commissioned then the new saved curve will overwrite the previous data for the fuel selected. Failure to save the curve will result in the commissioning data not being stored within the unit and a power loss to the unit will result in a loss of data for the fuel selected. If during commissioning the burner turns off, due to the ‘running interlock’ opening or a fault, or if the power has been recycled, no points entered are stored. It is recommended to commission the MM with a quick base curve and then adjust/add/remove the points in the Single Point Change. Once the burner has been commissioned, the fuel flow metering will need to be entered, please go to section 3.5 Fuel Flow Commissioning. If there is EGA trim data to be added then continue to section 3.7 Single Point Change before section 3.5 Fuel Flow Commissioning. Note: If commissioning a fuel for the first time the default required setpoint will be 2.0bar/20PSI/20OC/20OF. The burner will shut down at commission completion due to the low default required setpoint. Go to the Status screen to change the required setpoint.

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 89 3.5 Fuel Flow Metering If fuel flow metering has been enabled in option 57, the message ‘No Fuel Flow Data’ will display on the Home screen once the burner has been commissioned. Fuel flow metering is used to rate the size or burner and calculate the firing rate. If fuel flow metering is not commissioned and sequencing is optioned, then MM will assume a default burner rating which is based on the fractional fuel valve angle. The fuel flow is commissioned from the low fire point up to the high fire point. The low fire point will set the burner rating in MW if metric of MMBTu/hr if imperial. On the Mk8 MM, fuel flow metering can be taken as the values entered in the fuel flow commissioning screen from the fuel flow meter or through a 4-20mA signal input on terminals EX- and EX+. 3.5.1 Commissioning Fuel Flow Through MM If a fuel flow meter is not available and only arbitrary values are going to be used, it is important to make sure a good range of values are is entered (e.g. 1 to 10) with equal spaces between the values. Not doing this could lead to problems when using IBS and the flame graphic. When using arbitrary values it is good practice to use the following calculation to determine the heat value for each of the 10 points. 𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉 𝐵𝐵𝑒𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃= 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅− ቀ𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅 𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 ቁ 9 For example: Burner Rating: 5.4MW; Turndown Ratio: 5:1. 5.4 −(5.4 5 ) 9 = 0.48 Giving the range (5.40, 4.92, 4.44, 3.96, 3.48, 3.00, 2.52, 2.04, 1.56, 1.08), with 1.08MW as the low fire point and 5.4MW as the high fire burner rating point derived using an estimated burner turndown value. Fuel flow metering serves to totalise the amount of fuel being used at each position. If any changes are made to the curve through Single Point Change, then fuel flow will need to be re-commissioned. Enable Fuel flow commissioning by setting option 57. Fuel flow commissioning is done in Run mode while the burner is firing. On the Home Screen, press to access the System Configuration screen.

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 91 Figure 3.5.iii Fuel Flow Commissioning Press to access the fuel flow commissioning screen. There are 10 points which need to be entered across the commission curve from low to fire high fire, with low fire being point 1, and high fire point 10. Type in the heat value or ‘dummy value’ using the keypad and press the return key to save that point. Note: The servomotors will drive to the low fire position, and then drive up as the fuel flow commissioning points are entered. Precautions must be taken to ensure that the boiler is warm enough for all 10 points to be entered. As you enter the heat values for the 10 points, these will become marked on the graph to the right of the screen. Once the fuel flow commissioning is complete, press to return to modulation in normal firing mode. If you press at any time during fuel flow commission, this will not store the points. 3.5.2 Commissioning Fuel Flow Through 4-20mA Feedback If fuel flow metering is enabled through using 4-20mA feedback on terminals EX- and EX+, the heat value will automatically get populated according to the analogue signal at that fuel valve position. After each heat value is displayed, press enter to go to the next fuel flow point.

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 95 How to use this information: 1. Measure Volumetric flow of gas for 1min in ft3 (i.e. ft3/min). Note 1m3 = 35.31ft3 2. Multiply this volume flow by 60 to give volumetric flow per hour (i.e. ft3/hr). 3. Measure the pressure of the gas supply. 4. Use the table above to obtain a conversion factor. 5. Multiply the volume flow per hour by the conversion factor to obtain a volume at reference conditions. 6. For natural gas, the calorific value is typically 1000 Btu/ft3. To obtain the firing rate of the boiler at standard reference conditions multiply the volume at reference conditions by 1000. Represented as an equation: Firing rate = (Measured Volumetric flow per minute x 60 x Conversion factor x 1000) Btu/hr

3 Commissioning Procedure

Mk8 MM Manual Page | 96 3.6 Gas/ Air Pressure Commission To commission the gas pressure sensor, go to Commission Mode and press . The MM will then run through the points to store the gas pressure values. If the VPS is optioned on, the unit will run through this valve proving process. The MM will go from Low Fire to High Fire and store the gas pressure values along the curve. Once these values are stored, the upper and lower offset limits will be adjusted to the new commissioned gas pressure values. If the burner turns off during the gas/air pressure commission, the gas/air pressure commission process will be restarted. This ensures that the MM does not run with an incomplete set of gas/air pressure readings. Figure 3.6.i Gas Sensor To commission the air pressure sensor, in Commission Mode screen press . The air pressure sensor commission procedure is the same as the gas pressure sensor commission procedure. The same procedure also applies for commissioning the oil pressure sensor. Note: If the gas or air pressure sensor is replaced with the same sensor type (same pressure range) then the sensor will not need to be recommissioned. Note: For applications where VPS is required after burner shutdown only, the option/parameter 129 should be set to 0 when doing the first gas sensor commission on the system to store the valve proving gas pressure. During normal running, option/parameter 129 can be set to 1.
