SERVOMOTOR

Servomotor

1 Air quantity regulation

The purpose of the servomotor is to operate the two interconnected air dampers. In this
way the air quantity necessary for the combustion can be controlled. The servomotor
is equipped with a number of cam switches and a potentiometer. Furthermore, the outer
scale on the camshaft serves as a position indicator. Figure 1 shows an illustration of
the servomotor.

In automatic operation of the burner, signals are sent from the control system to the
servomotor for positioning the air dampers dependent on the sequence step for the
burner. The potentiometer provides feedback signals to the control system when the
burner operates in this mode.

SERVOMOTOR

In emergency operation of the burner, the mechanical cam switches are used to operate
the burner.

Cam switches No. 1 and No. 2, which are the switches for purge/full load position and
closed position respectively, are active in automatic operation mode. Therefore, the
servomotor cannot open or close the air dampers beyond the setting of the switches
regardless of the signals sent from the control system. By this, an extra control of the
combustion process is added to the burner operation.Please note that cam switch No.
1 is also active in emergency operation mode.

All other cam switches will not have any function in automatic operation mode because
they are activated by the emergency operation switch.

1.1 Calibration of the servomotor range

During commissioning, the servomotor range must be calibrated. The low and high
range should be set to 0º and 90º opening of the air dampers respectively.

When the calibration process is performed, the camshaft should be disengaged from
the drive by means of a lever fitted to the gear box (see Figure 1). This makes it possible
to manually adjust the camshaft to any position required. When the lever is in the
vertical position, the drive is engaged.

The output signal from the potentiometer is a voltage signal, which is converted into
a resistance signal in the control system. On the local panel the resistance signal is
displayed in the menu setup/calibrate/servo motor/raw data. When the position of the
servomotor is set to 0º, which can be seen on the outer scale, the raw data line displays
a numerical value. This value must be entered in low range menu line.

After calibration of the low range position, the servomotor should be set to 90º. The
new numerical value, which is displayed in raw data line, should be entered as the high
range. In this way the operation range of the servomotor is calibrated for an operating
range between 0º and 90º corresponding to 0-100%.

The position of the servomotor will be handled and displayed as a percentage value in
all other menus.

Furthermore, the time to operate the servomotor from 0º to 90º and the accepted re-
sponse threshold can be set on the local control panel.

1.2 Pre-adjustment of the servomotor settings

The following servomotor positions for operation should be set as preliminary settings
on the local control panel in the menu setup/settings:

• Stand-by position (burner stopped): 0% (0º)

• Nozzle 1 (ignition and operation on nozzle 1 position): 28% (25º)
• Nozzle 2 opening (open solenoid to nozzle 2 position): 50% (45º)
• Nozzle 1 and 2 (purge and full load position): 67% (60º)
Please consider the proposed settings as guidelines only as the final settings should be
performed after measuring the flue gas (CO2/O2 content).

1.3 Pre-adjustment of the mechanical cam switches

The setting of the cam switches is described below. Please consider the proposed set-
tings as guidelines only as the final settings should be performed after measuring the
flue gas (CO2/O2 content).

Operating nozzle 1
Cam switch No. 3 controls the position of the air dampers when the burner operates
on nozzle 1. The switch should be set between 0°-50° depending on the burner size,
nozzle size, furnace pressure, etc. Cam switch No. 3 should be set to 25° as a prelimi-
nary setting.

Operating nozzles 1 and 2

Cam switch No. 1 controls the position of the air dampers when the burner operates in
purge position and on both nozzles. The switch should be set between 20°-90° de-
pending on the burner size, nozzle size, furnace pressure, etc. Cam switch No. 1 should
be set to 60° as a preliminary setting. Please note that the position of the air dampers
is limited by this setting when the burner operates in automatic mode.

Operating the solenoid valve for nozzle 2

Cam switch No. 7 controls the position of the air dampers when the solenoid valve for
nozzle 2 is operated. The switch should be set between the cam switch settings for
nozzle 1 (cam switch No. 3) and nozzles 1/2 (cam switch No. 1). This will prevent
flame lift off due to high air flow when the burner operation changes from one nozzle
to two nozzles. Cam switch No. 7 should be set to approximately 75% of the setting
for cam switch No. 1.

Burner stop
Cam switch No. 2 controls the position of the air dampers when the burner is stopped.
The switch should be set to 0°. This will prevent the boiler from unnecessary cooling.
