LOCATION AND MOUNTING When used with sleam boilers, always mount the. con- troller above the water fine in the boilEir. A steam trap must always be connected between the controller and the boiler (Fig. 11) to prevent boiler scale and corrosive vapors from atlacking the diaphragm or bellows. The 1<::q:1 on the steam trap must always be perpendicular to the face of the con- troller. 11lhe f<::q:l is parallel to the contrOller, expansion or contraclion 01 the 1<::q:I will tip the controlier and cause the switch to operate inaccurately. The controlier can be mounted (1) alongside the pres- sure gauge, (2) in a filling on tile boiter provided by the manufacturer, or (3) at a remote location in case of exces· sive vibration. When making pipe conn&ctions, use pipe compound sparingly to seal tile joinlS.

NOTE: If using tile controller with a CO!T'Pressor, install a dampening device (wch as a needle valve. header, or surge lank) to dampen pulsations which can damage the controller or reduce its life. To mounllhe conlroller alongside the pressure gauge (Fig. 11), remove the gauge. In its place. install a steam trap with a lee on tap. Using elbows and pipe nipples, mount the controller and pressure gauge on the ends of Ihe tee. If it is not convenient to mount lhe controlier alongside the pressure gauge, install a steam trap in the fitting pro- vided by the boiler manufacturer. If there is no 1ilting. mount the steam trap al a location recommended by the boiler manufacturer. Screw Ihe controller directly to Ine steam trap. If there is ex.cessive Vibration at the boiler that mayad- versely affact the operation of the controller, the controller should be mounted' at a remote location. All piping from the boiler must 'os suitable and solidly mounted. The pip- ing must be properlV pitChed to drain all cOndensation back to the boiler. A steam trap must be mountEKl between the remote piping and the controller. HONEYWELL PRESSURE CONTROLLERS AVAILABLE FOR USE ON STEAM BOILERS AND HOT WATER HEA,TING SYSTEMS Honeywell pressU/8 controllers are fistEKl in Table II al the el"d 01 this section. along with their applications, switch types, al"d operating pressure ranges.

For furttel infor- mation, refer to the instruction sheers tor the controllers. OPERATION OF THE P455 COMBINATION CONTROLLER The P455 is a combination prq:;ortioning al"d cn-otf pressure controller. [n addition to a prorortioning potenti- ometer, it has an spst swilCh with a subHacUve ditferenlial that breaks on pressure rise. Tha main scale is set at the manmum pressure desirEKl. The differential is adjustEKl in- stead of the prcportioning range. Tl"le proportioning tange will automatically be sat 10 approximately 85Percent of the differenlial. (The differential sca[ap1ale is graduated from A to F with a MIN value below A. Refer to the P455 instruc- tion sheet for values 01 the differential and proportioning range.) 223 71-97558-' FIG. 12- HONEYWEll PRESSURE CONTROLLERS AVAILABLE FOR USE ON STEAM BOILERS MID HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEMS. '.' The P455 also has a UNISON/SEQUENCE adjust- ment, which provides a choice 01 firing rale at burner startl.P. The odjusling dial is located just below the wiper armof the potentiometer (Fig. 2?). The dial is turned so Ihe arrow isat Ufor unison q:)(lralibn, at S for sequencecpera· lion, or at one of 3 inlermediale positions, Fig. 13 sh(w,rs the operation at Ihe P455 for each of these p::lSitions. In (he UNISON position, Ihe prcportioning range is: en- tirely within Ihe differential range, so the on-ott swi'ch and the prClJX)rtloning potentiometer are functioning at the same Ifme. When Ihe pressure falls to the sel point minus the differential, Ihe on-oN switch makes and the burner Is lumacl on. The potentiometer wiper is aU the way over to the Bend, lhe firing rate Controls are a! the high fire jXlSi- tion. and the bUrner starts al high fire, As the burner heats l4=l and the pressure increases, the wiper moves toward the W end of the potentiometer. It the pressure contlnues 10 Increase, the Wiper moves all the way to the Wend and !he firing rate conlrols are at the low tire ~ilion. Ordinar- Ily, modulallon keeps the pressure belW9Eln thess posi- lions within lhe proportioning range. If It prOblem devek:ps or the Iced drops suddenly, and the pressure continues 10 rise, the on~f'I' switch breaks and shuts down lhe bUrner when the pressure reaches lhe main scale sel point. In the SEQUENCE posilion, Ihe prqx>rtionlng range is entirely below Ihe differenlial range, so the on~ff switch and the proportioning potentiomeler are not funclioning al 224 the same time. As in the UNISON position, when the pres- sure falls 10 lhe sel point minus Ihe differential, Ihe on-off switch makes and the burner is turned on. However, the potentiometer wiper is all the way over to the Wend, the 1iring rale controls are al the low tire position, and the burner starts at low fire, It the pressure continues to fall be- 10re the burner can heat up, the Wiper moves toward the B end at the poten/iometer. If the pressure 1alls far enough, Ihe wiper moves all the way 10 the B end and the firing rate controls at the l1igh fire posilion. As the burner heats l.4) and the pressure increases, the Wiper moves toward the Wend at the potentiomete(. Again, the pressure is ordinar- ily kept within the proportioning range. t1the pressure con- linues to rise, the wiper moves all the way 10 theW end and lhe 1iring rale contrOlS are at the low tire jXlSilian. The burner slays at low 1ire as the pressure increases through the differential range, and is Shut do ·:n when Ihe pressure react'19S the main scale sel point. In an intermecliale jXlSition, the proportioning potenti- ometer is functioning partly wllhin the differential range of the an~N switch-the amount varies with the ~ilion. This provides a ChOice of lhe firing rale-somewhere be- tween low 1ire and high fire-al burner startl4=l when the on~ff switch makes. As shown In Fig. 13, the pressure range over which the burner will operate at low fjre also varies with the position 011he UNISON/SEQUENCE dial. • ( -"'GH • ,,~t , ,.

PRESSURE CONTROLLERS (PRESSURE SWITCHES) USED IN GAS BURNER SYSTEMS The pressure controllers used in gas burner systems are commonly called gas pressure swilchas_ They may be used with natural gas, LP gas, or air. (The C64sC and D models can be used only with air.} They provide safety shutoff or diflerential-pressure control, depending on the controllsr model and wiring hookup (Figs. 3-5). No propor- tioning controllers are available tor use in gas burner systems. LOCATION AND MOUNTING Gas pressure switches in the main burner line should be located downstream from the PRII (pressure rBgJlaling valve). The low gas pressure switch should be localed u(r stream from the safety shutoff valve(s). In a downstream location, there would be zero preSsure when lhe burner Isn'( running and the safely shutoff valve(s) is closed. This could prevent startup or reqUire manual reset every time the burner is started. The high gas pressure switch should 225 be located as near thE! burner as p:;lSSibre. Typical loCa- tions arE! shown In Fig. 14. A pressure switch is t JSllally rrounted dlrectPy on the main pipe by Inserling a tBEI in the pipe lJne, and connect- ing a pipe nil=flle at appropriate size 10 the tBEI (Fig. 15). Screw the main pressure connection ot Ihe pressure switch to the pipe nil=flle. The main connection is a heJt- agonallilling with 1/4 or 1/2 inch NPT Internal threadS. To avoid leaks and damage to the case. use a parallel jaw wrench on the hexag::mal fitling close 10 lhe pipe ni~le. Make all connections carefully and lest lor leakage.

PRESSURE CONTROLLERS USED IN OIL BURNER SySTEMS Prassure controllers are used in oil burner systems to supervise oil pressure and to supervise the pressure 01 the atomizing medium (if used). OIL PRESSURE SUPERVISION The Oil pressure controllers (also called oil pressure SWitches) discussed in this section can be used with any type of fuel oil, inclUding heavy preheated oils. They have a stainless steel diaphragm to resisl corrosion. The dia· phragm transmits changes in oil pressure to an spst mer- cury switch Ihrough a mechanical linkage. The L404T and Ware high pressure limits; they break a circuit and st'1ut down the system if the oil pressure gets too high. The L404V and Yare operating controllers and low pressure limits: they preventlhe system from staning untillhe oil pressure is high enough, and they Shut down Ihe system ir lhe oil pressure falls too low. TIle L404T and V have adjustable subtractive differenhals: the L404W and Yare manual reset models. C447.C547 _ LOCATION AND MOUNTING Oil pressure controllers can be mounledat any location in Ihe ojl supply line, dePending on Ihe application. Typical loca/lons are shown in Fig. 18. The low oil pressure switch should be located upsrrfjam from 1M safely shutoff valve{S), In a downstream location, there would be zero pressure when the burner isn't running and the safety Shu10ff valve(s) is closed. This could prevent startup or re- quire manual reset every time the burner is staned. The hiGh oil pressure switCh should be located as near the burner as possible. An oil pressure controller is mounted directly on the main pipe by inserting a tee in tha pipe line. and cOnnect- ing a pipe ,iJ:Ple of appropriate size to lhe tea (FiQ. 19). Screw Ihe he:tagonal fitting (1/4 inch NPT with internal threads) at the pressure controller to lhe pipe niJ:Ple. To avoid leaks and damage to Ihe case, use a paralle! jaw wrench on the hexagonal filling close to the pipe niJ:Ple. Do not tighten rhe pressure contro/ler by hand by holding the caSe.

Excess pipe Corrp:lUnd may Clog Ihe small hole in the filling and pre- vent the controller from operating prcperly. When used with preheated oil, a siphon 10ClP must al- ways be connecteCl between the controller and the main pipe {Fig. 20) to provide thermal buffering. The 10ClP must always be perpendicular to the face of the controller. If the 10ClP is parallel 10 the controller, expansion or contraction of the 10ClP will tip the controller and cause the switch to cperate lnaceuralely. Oil pressure controllers have· mercury switches, so they must be leveled for proper operation. If mounting di- rectly on the main pipe (Fig. 19), install the controller at rIght angles to the pipe; leveling can then be accom- plished by turning the pipe 100. If using a siphon 10ClP with prehealed oil (Ag. 20), leveling can be accorTfJIlshed b)I carefully bending the siphon 10ClP. The controller is level when the leveling indicator hangs freely with lis pointer di- rectly over the Index mark on the back of the case (see Rg.2). WIRING HOOKUPS If the oil burner system is a single burner system with an integral oil pump, connectlhe oil pressure controller In se- ries between the flame safeguard control and the main oil valve solenoid (Fig. 21). If it is a single burner or a multibur- ner system with an external oil pump, connect the oil pres- 228 sure conlroller in series wilh the other controllers, limits ard interlocks (Fig. 22). SUPERVISION OF ATOMIZING MEDIUM PRESSURE (AIR OR STEAM) When air or steam is used as an atomi.ing medium, aulhorities having jurisdictiqn (approval bodies and codes) often require a-rowiimitto prevent openinQ of the main oil valve unlil sufficient atomizing pressure is pre- senl, and to shut Gbwn the system if the atomi2inQ pres- sura falls too low. The L404B Pressure Controller, designed tor use on steam boilers and hot water healing systems, is recom- mended tor (his appllcallt:rl. It has an spst mercury switch wilh an adjuslable Slblraclive diMerenlial. The switch makes a circuit when the pressure rises to the set jX)int, and breaks when the pressore fcllls to the set point minus the differential (see Fig. 8). The L404B is available in 4 0p- erating pressure ranges, from 2 to 300 psi. LOCATION AND MOUNTING The L404B is mounled in Ihe supply line for the atomiz- ing medium (Fig. 18). Follow the same mounting instruc- lions as for the ofl pressure c?1trollers. WIRING HOOKUPS The cperation of the L404B Is the same as for the L4D4V,Y (makeS on pressure rise to setjX)int).

These meta! ~ts contain a volatile liquid and the vapor from it When a volatile IQJId is c.Ql1fiQed, a portion of the liQ.Jid is ~.iven offas a vapor (jusl as steam is driven off by boiling wale~ until a limiling pressure is developed. This pressure Is adirect function of the t~rature of the liQ.Jld, particu- larly af thElliqJid SUrface (the dividing lina between the liq- uid and the VajXlrj. Changes of temperature thus result in corresponding changes ot pressure. This relationship is shown in Fig. 26.

As long as the liQ.Jid surface occurs in the bulb, the bellows and capillary may be filled with either liq.JJd or vapor wllhout aNecling the control 0' lerrperature al the bulb. Qlangas in bellows or capillary temperature will only cause condensalion or evajXlratlon Of a lillie iiquid in the bulb, with a ~ligi!;!'e change Of pressure in the system. Vapor-pressure lemperature sensing elemems have a very smalltime lag, and temperature variations along the capillary and bellows (within the r9Slrlclions for Jow and high t~ratul'8 elemenls, which will be described late~ cb not affect the plecise control 01 the remote bulb eleme"t There are 3 types or remote bulb vajXlr-pressure ele- ments, ~ng on the bulb-to-bellows tel'Tl;:JElrature re- lalionship.

LOW TEMPERATURE ELEMENT (FIG. 27) A low l~alure e/el"l'l6l1t /also called a "/imiled fill" or "ladeout~ element! is designed to operate with the bu'b always colder than the bellows and capillary. The system contains a limited amounl of liquid so lhat fa,jeoul will 0:' cur al a temperature not much higher than the maximu'T1 operating tefTl)erature. Therefore the bellows and capil- lary are always filled with vapor. As the lemperature attha bulb rises, a little more vapor will be prOduced in the bUltJ, increasing the p'essure at the bellows. As lhe tefTl)eratu~e falls, a litlle more liQ.Jid will condense in the bulb and the pressure will decrease. ,,~ LWAYl COLDER Ir __ ",.AH '~LLOW< L'QU'D FIG. 27- DIAGRAM OF A lOW TEMPERATURE VAPOR-PRESSURE TEMPERATURE SENSING ELEMENT, Condensalion occurs first al the COldest paint in the system.
