Under the test conditions of 5.4, the heat input shall not vary by more than ± 5 % from the specified value, if the supply pressure changes in the limits of the minimum and maximum pressure.
EN 303-7:2006 (E) 10 4.2.5 Safety of operation 4.2.5.1 Limiting temperature of control and safety devices Under the test conditions of 5.5.1, the ambient temperature of the control and safety devices shall not exceed the maximum value stated by the devices manufacturer, and their operation shall remain satisfactory. 4.2.5.2 Limiting temperature of control knobs and parts to be touched Under the test conditions of 5.5.2 the surface temperatures of control knobs and of all parts intended to be touched shall not exceed the ambient temperature by more than: 35 K for metals; 45 K for porcelain; 60 K for plastics. 4.2.5.3 Limiting temperature of the side walls, the front and the top Under the test conditions of 5.5.3: the temperature of the side walls, front and top of the boiler shall not exceed the ambient temperature by more than 80 K. Nevertheless, the parts of the case within 5 cm of the sight glass and within 15 cm of the boiler combustion products evacuation duct are exempt from this requirement; the average temperature of the boiler doors and of the cleaning doors shall not exceed the ambient temperature by more than 100 K. 4.2.5.4 Limiting temperature of the floor and the test panels Under the test conditions of 5.5.4, the temperature of the floor on which the boiler is placed and that of the test panels placed at the side of and behind the boiler shall at no point exceed 80 °C when measured. Where the temperature is between 50 °C and 80 °C, the manufacturer's technical manual shall include information regarding the installation of protection between the boiler and the floor or walls, where these latter consist of flammable materials
EN 303-7:2006 (E) 11 4.2.5.5 Start-up Boiler start-up shall be possible only if the following conditions have been complied with: a) any interlock integral with the boiler (e.g. flue damper) is indicating its correct position; b) the flame detector has been checked to be functioning correctly for flame simulation. This check may also be carried out during the pre-purge or after a controlled shut-down; c) any valve proving system has completed its check successfully. This check may also be carried out
during the pre-purge or after a controlled shut-down; d) the air flow proving device has been proved to be functioning correctly. Under the conditions of 5.5.5, no excessive pressure fluctuation or flame pulsation shall take place in the boiler. 4.2.5.6 Ignition and flame stability a) Under the test conditions of 5.5.6, ignition shall be effected correctly, rapidly and without any pulsation. The flames shall be stable and shall not create any disturbing noise. A slight tendency to lift at the moment of ignition is permissible, but the flames shall be stable thereafter. For boilers fitted with a range-rating device, these requirements shall be satisfied in the range of the maximum and minimum heat inputs declared by the manufacturer. b) The ignition of the boiler at reduced pressure before the action of the low pressure gas switch or the flame supervision device shall not lead to a dangerous situation for the user or damage to the boiler. 4.2.5.7 Resistance of the burner to over-heating Under the test conditions of 5.5.7 the various parts of the burner shall not suffer any deterioration other than the superficial alterations inherent in combustion. 4.2.5.8 Pre-purge Before energising the ignition device the combustion chamber shall be purged. The duration of the pre-purge shall be either: a) at least 20 s at the full combustion air rate corresponding to the maximum nominal heat input or b) where the air rate is reduced, a time period increased by an amount inversely proportional to the reduced air rate. EXAMPLE 100% air rate – at least 20 s pre-purge time;
50% air rate – at least 40 s pre-purge time;
33% air rate (minimum permitted) – at least 60 s pre-purge time. This reduced air flow rate shall not be less than 33 % of the full combustion air rate. If the purge air flow falls below the required rate at any time during the purge either a) the boiler shall proceed to safety shut-down, or b) the purge shall be continued upon restoration of the required air rate provided that the air flow does not fall below 33 % of the required air rate and that the total purge time at the required air rate is not reduced.
EN 303-7:2006 (E) 12 After a controlled shut-down a restart of the following boilers may be achieved without a pre-purge: a) boilers of heat input up to and including 70 kW
fitted with either two class A safety shut-off valves in series, or with two class B safety shut-off valves in series plus a valve proving
system; b) boilers of heat input greater than 70 kW fitted with two class A safety shut-off valves in series plus a valve proving system. A pre-purge shall be carried out at any restart after every safety shut-down. 4.2.6 Control and safety equipments 4.2.6.1 Start-up heat input Boilers with a nominal heat input up to and including 120 kW may be ignited directly. For burners with a nominal heat input exceeding 120 kW, the start gas rate shall not exceed 120 kW or the value given by the equation
tSA × Qs
≤ 100 or tSA x QS ≤ 150 where appropriate (see Table 1); where:
tSA is the ignition safety time in seconds (s);
Qs is the maximum start gas rate expressed as a percentage of the main gas rate. The tests shall be carried out under the conditions of 5.6.1. 4.2.6.2 Start-up The start-up gas valves shall not be energised before the ignition spark (or other means of ignition) is energized. However, where a hot surface ignition system is used, the ignition system shall be so energised that the ignition source is capable of igniting incoming gas before the start gas valve(s) are opened. The start gas flame proving period shall establish that the flame is stable on its own. In the case of a flame failure, the requirements of 4.2.6.5 apply. Where the gas line is designed such that the gas supply to the ignition burner is taken from between the two main burner gas valves, it is checked under the test conditions of 5.5.6 that it is not possible for a hazardous situation to arise in the event of defective closure of the gas valve immediately upstream of the main burner when the ignition burner is lit. Where the start gas rate is controlled by a start gas rate position contained within the downstream main safety shut-off valve any means of adjustment of the start gas rate shall be capable of being pre-set and sealed. The tests shall be carried out under the conditions of 5.5.6. 4.2.6.3 Main burner ignition 4.2.6.3.1 Establishment by means of a start gas flame If the start gas flame has been ignited at a separate ignition burner and proved the second safety time shall be not more than the safety time mentioned in Table 1 at the end of which time sensing of the main flame shall begin. If the main flame is not detected at the end of this period, the requirements of 4.2.6.5 apply.
EN 303-7:2006 (E) 13 The tests shall be carried out under the conditions of 5.5.6. 4.2.6.3.2 Direct establishment of the main gas flame The ignition source shall not be energised before completion of the pre-purge period and shall be de-energized at, or before, the end of the safety time. For boilers where a hot surface ignition system is used, the ignition system shall be so energised that the ignition source is capable of igniting incoming gas before the main gas valves are opened. The tests shall be carried out under the conditions of 5.5.6. 4.2.6.4 Safety times 4.2.6.4.1 Ignition safety time The ignition safety time shall be determined from the equation given in 4.2.6.1 as a function of the start gas rate, but in no case shall the safety time exceed 5 s. The ignition of the main and ignition burners, the maximum start gas rate and the corresponding safety time shall be as specified in Table 1 according to the maximum heat input of the burner. Figures 8 to 11 illustrate the ignition systems referred to in this clause. Burner start up may be achieved in accordance with one of the following methods: direct ignition of the main burner at full rate Qn ; (see Table 1, column 2, Figure 8 ); direct ignition of the main burner at reduced rate; (see Table 1, column 3, Figure 9 ); direct ignition of the main burner at reduced rate with independent start gas supply; (see Table 1,
column 4, Figure 10); ignition of the main burner by means of an independent ignition burner; (see Table 1, column 5, Figure 11). Higher start gas rates than those specified in Table 1 may be achieved at
