Having some difficulty with our Baltur BTL6P (EOGB). 2 stage
Initially very occasional lockouts associated with what we believed to be fuel starvation (empty tiger loop and filter) tank is lower than burner.
The location of the tigerloop filter and firevalve was also very prone to heavy icing in the winter. The suction required to prime the system seemed excessive maybe indicating a damaged/crimped line.
Have replace the old 8mm oil line with 15mm plastic and replaced the external tiger loop with an internal GSpro-FI3 filter/deairator combo. We also added a NRV at the tank end of the oil line.
Now have no difficulty priming the syetem to the deairator and the oil line suction is only 0.3-0.5 bar so well within the spec of the pump. With the deairator being internal at least the 'first drink' of oil should be at room temp.
Given the potential for muck in the oilline The boiler was serviced and a new nozzle fitted (a danfoss 1gal 60ES replacing a 60S)
Since this work was done the boiler is repeatedly locking out at the start of its morning and evening burn periods.Its takes anything from a single restart to 6-7 attempts to get it to fire (no clear pattern) Once firing it will burn without problem and refire without incident.
My initial thoughts were air in the line but have checked and double checked the line (and it has a NRV fitted) Currently the GSpro is mounted slightly below the level of the burner but not sure this is likely to be a prob? I then wondered if it was a lockout due to second stage firing but the flame looks ok and the restart would be the first stage flame?
When burning the flame appears clean with no visable smoke, (maybe a little smelly)
Pump pressures seem to be ok for both stages.
Is it worth replacing the photocell (it appears to work fine for starts after the initial post quiet period starting problem). Should I go back to a 60S rather than the ES.
Any suggestions for the next most likely?
Thank you
