Gas fired igniter ZAVEXFunctional characteristics and structure5 Functional characteristics and structure5.1 Functional characteristicsThe gas fired igniter is a device whose flame is designed to ignite amain burner. A high voltage is generated from an input voltage(mains voltage), which generates an ignition spark at the gasnozzle. The resulting flame generates a flame signal via the flamerod. This flame signal is amplified in the ionisation flame monitorand enables the main burner.5.2 StructureFig. 4: Gas fired igniter (sectional drawing)1 Power head1.1 Junction room1.2 Junctin room cover1.3 Wiring terminal1.4 PE terminal1.5 Ex-rated cable gland1.6 Enclosure1.7 Gas flange3 Gas pressure test nipple (opposite gas inlet)4 Allen screw5 Air pressure test nipple6 Outer tube7 Intermediate support ring with two ceramicinsulators8 Connecting rods9 Gas tube10 Final electrode support ring11 Gas nozzle12 Ignition electrode13 Flame rod14 Air inlet15 Mixing chamber16 Mounting flange17 Earth rod18 Ceramic insulator- 22 - 2.71/1e Status: 11/07


Anschl üsseGas fired igniter ZAVEXFunctional characteristics and structureThe gas fired igniter comprises the following main components: the power head (1), in which the spark transformer and theionisation flame monitor are mounted, the junction room (1.1) which holds the wiring terminals (1.3)and the PE terminal (1.4) where the control cable has to behooked up, the complete outer tube (6), incl. mixing chamber(15) and mounting flange (16) with air inlet (14), the gas tube (9) and the gas nozzle (11), the final electrode support ring (10) with two ceramic insulators(18), ignition electrode (12), flame rod (13) and earth rod (17).The outer tube (6) is screwed to the power head (1) and can beremoved or depending on the position of the air supply pipe can beturned by 90°.The gas inlet can be from top or bottom. The unused opening issealed off by a sealing screw, into which a gas pressure testingnipple (3) is screwed.The final electrode support ring (10) is fastened on the end of thegas tube (9).The flame rod (13) and the ignition electrode (12) are extended byconnecting rods (8). These connecting rods are guided through thefloor of the transformer housing and are supported around every300 mm by intermediate support rings (7).5.3 Flame monitoringThe flame is monitored by the flame rod, which must immerse inthe direction of the flame. Alternating voltage is applied to thisflame rod. The burning flame creates an electrically conductiveconnection to the igniter earth and at the same time acts as arectifier for the ionisation current. This direct current signal ismeasured and amplified in the ionisation flame monitor. Theenforced flame signal activates the flame relay with one SPDTcontact (special version).5.3.1 Safety timeThe safety time is the response time of the ionisation flame monitoras the reaction to a failure of the flame signal (flame sensorcurrent) and as a result of that the clearing switch of the terminalsfor the „flame-on“ signal. The standard safety time is ≤ 1 s, amodification is not possible.Status: 11/07 2.71/1e - 23 -

At the gas inlet, connect a Ballofix ball valve for gas volumesetting.6. Connect the gas line at the Ballofix ball valve connector.7. Loosen the two Allen screws in the junction room cover. Twoscrew drivers may now be inserted into the two recesses andthe junction room may now be levered off evenly andcarefully.REMARK!The gas fired igniter must be connected by theowner to the plant control system in accordancewith the terminal diagrams.- 28 - 2.71/1e Status: 11/07


Gas fired igniter ZAVEXInstallation and initial commissioningREMARK!The high-voltage ignition spark can suppress theionization signal to such a degree that the flamerelay is not able to pick up. For this reason, theplant control system must ensure that the ignitionvoltage (“spark transformer” terminal) is switchedoff before the end of the ignition safety period (seeEN standard 298). This ensures a short ignitionfreeperiod (approx. 0.5 s).8. Wire the control cable to the terminals and the PE terminal asindicated in the wiring diagram. If only one of the two cablesglands installed is to be used, the unused cable gland shouldbe removed and the free issue Ex-plug screwed in instead.9. Tighten the cable glands for stress relief once the controlcables have been introduced into the junction room.REMARK!If several identical gas fired igniters are being used,the unction room cover must not be mixed up withthat of another igniter. The unit no. (punched figure)on the junction room cover must correspond withthat on the enclosure.10. In order to retain the protection from explosions the junctionroom cover must be re-inserted carefully. Make sure that theo-ring is not damaged. Tighten the two Allen screws.Status: 11/07 2.71/1e - 29 -

If no flame signal is produced, check the following:– Is mains voltage present at terminal 1 - 2?– Is the polarity of the test diode correct?– Are ceramic insulators damp, soiled or broken?If so, clean or exchange these or if necessary replace theionisation flame monitor.– Connect the flame rod to the power head.REMARK!In case of function problems, turn to the chapter“Troubleshooting”.Status: 11/07 2.71/1e - 33 -


Gas fired igniter ZAVEXInstallation and initial commissioning6.4 Setting the required air volume This may only be performed by trained personnel. Required special tools: Customarily available pressure gauge with a measurementrange of 0 - 200 mbar1. Define the air pressure:A supply pressure of 20 mbar plus another 13 mbar for everym of tube length is required. A gas fired igniter with a tubelength of 5 m should therefore be supplied with20 mbar + (5 x 13 mbar), i.e. 85 mbar in total (anybackpressures need to be taken into account).2. Turn the Allen screw (size 2.5) in the centre of the air pressuretest nipple (1) 1 1 / 2 turns counter clockwise in order to openthe air pressure test nipple.3. Connect the pressure gauge to the air pressure test nipple (1).4. Open the air supply (only on initial commissioning).5. Reduce the air pressure / the air volume using the airregulating sleeve to the length-dependent flow pressure, so atthe same time also compensating for any combustionchamber back pressure.Fig. 12: Air pressure test nippleREMARK!In case of a varying combustion chamber backpressure with fluctuations greater than 20 %,integrate an air-side differential pressure regulator.6.

Define the required gas volume on the basis of the relevantcharacteristic curve in the gas volume diagram.As a rule, the operating pressure is 100 mbar abovecombustion chamber back pressure.REMARK!If a higher gas pressure was specified in the order,then pressure reducing orifices have already beenscrewed into the two gas inlet threads in the factoryThe igniter is consequently adapted for gaspressures above 150 mbar.Precision setting is performed using the Ballofixball valve.In case of service pressure levels above 500 mbar,this setting is extremely difficult. In these cases, thepressure reducing orifices must be retrofitted.When ordering pressure reducing orifices, specifythe service pressure.REMARK!The illustrated diagram is based on average valuesin respect of gas density, gas composition, calorificvalue, igniter version, igniter tube length andoptimum ambient conditions, such as free burn-outand pressureless combustion chamber. Theservice pressure values determined from thediagram must consequently be viewed as guidelinevalues. Depending on the plant conditions, theactually required values may deviate from this.Status: 11/07 2.71/1e - 35 -
