Importance of Combustion Analysis and Proper Set Up and Adjustments on all Heating Equipment!
All heating equipment manufacturers REQUIRE proper combustion set up, adjustments and readings utilizing a properly calibrated combustion analyzer .
LAARS for example includes this requirement for start up and annual maintenance and service in the I/O manual of the FT residential and FT commercial products.
Improper combustion is a hazard , a tremendous nuisance and causes unnecessary service calls, premature aging and premature failure of system and components.
Here are photos of an ignitor and flame rod that has been in service in a boiler for ONLY 6 months ! This boiler was NOT set up properly with a combustion analyzer and caused premature failure of the ignitor and flame rod .
In attachments here you will also find a step by step video of proper combustion analysis and settings on the LAARS 301/399.
