Hello, I intend to adapt my coal-fired boiler to burn wood pallets. Due to the fact that the prices of burners reach quite considerable amounts, I have decided to make such a burner on my own and only buy the original controls for it. After browsing through a few topics, I already have a more or less outlined scheme of how to make it. The basic and nagging question for me is what safety devices and sensors should be in the burner. I know that original burners include, among others, photocells and temperature sensors. Please give me some advice as to the best type of sensor to use and where they should be fitted on the burner to ensure they perform their function best. If there is anyone who has already made such a burner for themselves and would like to share their observations and possibly give me some tips, please write in, greetings.
well, unless to sell, then yes. They are afraid of any competition , even the unitary ones. I have generally studied diagrams of such burners, from materials available on the Internet, and since I was involved in the manufacture of various machines, I can support my knowledge a little. I know more or less how such burners are made and on what principle they work, as well as how and what to do in general. I'm mainly concerned with minor safety issues, such as where to mount the photocell or, if you prefer, the flame detector. At what distance, for example, should it be mounted from the flame so as not to damage it. Where is the best place to put the temp. sensor in the inner auger chamber (to protect against temperature rise and backfire).
