2.0 Control System Requirements Turndown Method Input is normally controlled by a motorized butterfly valve in the gas line to the burner. Regulator Loading Lines Connect the top diaphragm chambers of the main gas and pilot gas regulators to the duct approximately 10" downstream of the burner. This will allow the regulators to maintain a constant supply pressure to the burner regardless of varying pressures in the duct. Piloting Pilot gas flow is adjusted as shown in Figure 6.

3.0 Duct Design and Burner Mounting Duct Design See Figure 5 for typical mounting arrangements and duct designs. Support The mounting flange or brackets supplied with an AH burner are capable of sup- porting the weight of the burner and blower. The AH burner case itself is de- signed to support the weight of the blower, so the blower does not require inde- pendent support. Valve Train Support Support valve trains independently of the burner. Gas Piping Use flexible nipples to allow for thermal e

4.0 Start-Up And Adjustment (cont’d.) Set Air Pressure Drop Measure the air pressure drop across the burner as shown in Figure 7. Turn the disc on the blower air inlet until the air pressure drop is between 0.4" w.c. minimum and 1.0" w.c. maximum. For a given input, lower air pressure drops will produce a longer flame, and higher drops will produce a shorter flame. Large Burners Only: Some models, such as the 640, 680, and 720 TAH burn- ers, contain a butterfly valve in the check valve line as s
