Unsolvable puzzle

mark anderson

I want to restart this post under a new light.

The focus on the draft started when each morning I would have to go in the basement and hit the reset button.

All specs seemed to be in order except the draft.
I contacted Carlin and buderus and was told, that since it had no refractory it was a cold start and that the shutter was set at "4" causing alot of air to go around the shutter
that my flame was going out or not starting.

I was told to reduce the draft and change the air band setting to "3".

I re did all what I was told and the problem is still there.

With my most recent readings (with no barometric)

#1 draft to the right of 0 at "02" unless a brisk wind happens. At the Breech it is a to the left of 0 ".10"
#2 Co2 is a wopping 14!!!!!!!
#3 stack dropped from gross 400 prior to changes to gross 360
#4 smoke is 0
#5 the air band was opened more even though the co2 increased
#6 The air shutter was moved in closer from a 4 to 3


Need help.

Is there


by any chance a clean out door on the chimney? Near the bottom and I have seen cases where the door is outside.

I was once contracted to remove a 5 year old Buderus 215 that had chronic burner problems. We discovered that outside there was a clean out door that had rotted and fallen off.

I pointed it out to the customer but she had had enough and wanted a perfectly good boiler OUT.

We of course patched the opening before we fired up the new Burnham.

Just a thought>

Mark, which cad cell control are you using?

if a 62***** was the red w/white wired to power at all times? this has been a problem which Carlin said will only do away with pre purge but I find it can also cause lock-outs. Also your unit being a cold start and with a 15 sec. control sometimes the flame can't stabilize which can cause lock out and then latch up, I have done a few just like yours and find a 30 sec. control will solve it.Not just with Carlin burners but Beckett also,funny thing Reillo can do it with 5 sec control,anyway Hope this helps

flame

Back to the basics-is the nozzle the right one?
If you've been in touch with carlin I.m sure they have asked you that, so...
Chimney caps with wind deferers have worked well for me in the past.

Liner??

Mark, have you installed a SS liner in the flue? Highly recommended if you haven't.
