trained premix burner style yet
00:00:06.470 00:00:06.480 exchanger or barrel style heat exchanger
00:00:08.980 00:00:08.990 you guys have all seen these or most of
00:00:11.509 00:00:11.519 you have seen these they are I've got a
00:00:16.640 00:00:16.650 picture up here that I drew up I know
00:00:21.050 00:00:21.060 it's a crude drawing but just to help
00:00:22.790 00:00:22.800 everybody understand what we're talking
00:00:24.230 00:00:24.240 about so we've got the gas regulator
00:00:26.929 00:00:26.939 which is the inline gas regulator and
00:00:30.890 00:00:30.900 the pipe we've got the gas valve and the
00:00:34.130 00:00:34.140 draft motor which is inside the unit gas
00:00:37.520 00:00:37.530 valve and drop motor it's got holes on
00:00:40.580 00:00:40.590 the backside of this plate that's where
00:00:41.900 00:00:41.910 it draws the air in mixes the air and
00:00:43.850 00:00:43.860 the gas in the draft motor and then
00:00:46.119 00:00:46.129 injects the air and gas mixture into the
00:00:49.040 00:00:49.050 unit that's why they call it a premix
00:00:50.750 00:00:50.760 burner style of heat exchanger it
00:00:52.819 00:00:52.829 premixes the gas in the air and injects
00:00:55.910 00:00:55.920 it into the burner biggest difference on
00:01:00.319 00:01:00.329 these units guys is maybe I'll back up a
00:01:03.200 00:01:03.210 second here yeah this burner plate is a
00:01:06.649 00:01:06.659 screen and there's also a pre screen
00:01:10.789 00:01:10.799 right here on the backside of this draft
00:01:12.350 00:01:12.360 motor this screen here is designed to
00:01:15.920 00:01:15.930 keep the dirt out of the heat exchanger
00:01:17.990 00:01:18.000 out of this burner plate screen so when
00:01:21.740 00:01:21.750 you're replacing these draft motors are
00:01:23.390 00:01:23.400 working on these guys it's really
00:01:24.980 00:01:24.990 important to have the screen in there
00:01:26.359 00:01:26.369 it's also important to clean that screen
00:01:28.609 00:01:28.619 occasionally because that screen will
00:01:30.260 00:01:30.270 get dirty and it won't cause lighting
00:01:32.630 00:01:32.640 problems and heat reliability problems
00:01:35.359 00:01:35.369 on these units so with that said the
00:01:38.390 00:01:38.400 other thing I wanted to point out here
00:01:39.649 00:01:39.659 is the hot surface igniter
00:01:42.649 00:01:42.659 well on a train the hot surface igniter
00:01:45.200 00:01:45.210 lights the combustion starts the
00:01:47.660 00:01:47.670 combustion process once it has stable
00:01:50.090 00:01:50.100 combustion it shuts off the power to
00:01:51.919 00:01:51.929 that igniter and then that igniter on a
00:01:55.340 00:01:55.350 train also becomes the flame sensor it
00:01:57.440 00:01:57.450 performs flame rectification at that
00:01:59.480 00:01:59.490 point so flame sensor and igniter all in
00:02:02.929 00:02:02.939 one the other big difference you notice
00:02:05.690 00:02:05.700 on a train is there is not an airflow
00:02:07.940 00:02:07.950 proving switch because Trane does that
00:02:11.270 00:02:11.280 with the gas valve this gas valve is a
00:02:13.910 00:02:13.920 negative gas valve and what that means
00:02:17.330 00:02:17.340 is that this gas valve because at the
00:02:20.360 00:02:20.370 draft motor is drawing air and gas out
00:02:22.910 00:02:22.920 of the gas valve and injecting that
00:02:24.740 00:02:24.750 mixture into the heat exchanger if you
00:02:28.130 00:02:28.140 apply 24 volts on one of these gas
00:02:30.530 00:02:30.540 valves take one of these out and put it
00:02:32.000 00:02:32.010 on the bench at the bench test at one
00:02:33.440 00:02:33.450 time if you guys have a new one applied
00:02:35.720 00:02:35.730 24 volts to it and if you blow into this
00:02:38.660 00:02:38.670 Inlet pipe with the 24 volts applied you
00:02:41.210 00:02:41.220 will not be able to blow through one of
00:02:42.680 00:02:42.690 these gas valves because it does not
00:02:44.210 00:02:44.220 have the negative pressure of the draft
00:02:46.910 00:02:46.920 motor creating a suction on the backside
00:02:49.309 00:02:49.319 so that's how Trane proves that the
00:02:51.559 00:02:51.569 draft motor is running it has to have a
00:02:53.210 00:02:53.220 negative pressure here in order for it
00:02:55.970 00:02:55.980 to fully open the gas valve on a lot of
00:02:57.979 00:02:57.989 the gas to come through so it's a little
00:02:59.539 00:02:59.549 bit of a different animal that way but
00:03:01.640 00:03:01.650 if you know that it helps you to
00:03:03.530 00:03:03.540 understand what's going on here and why
00:03:05.360 00:03:05.370 you don't get it too late why you don't
00:03:07.039 00:03:07.049 get the smell of gas sometimes
00:03:09.430 00:03:09.440 these gas valves also guys do not travel
00:03:12.130 00:03:12.140 very well via air freight because when
00:03:14.020 00:03:14.030 they put them in a cargo hold of an
00:03:15.640 00:03:15.650 airplane their unpressurized at messes
00:03:17.470 00:03:17.480 these are pretty sensitive train does
00:03:19.450 00:03:19.460 not recommend air freight in those gas
00:03:21.310 00:03:21.320 valves across the country so with that
00:03:24.910 00:03:24.920 said everyone the best way to work on
00:03:27.730 00:03:27.740 these troubleshoot them and get them
00:03:29.680 00:03:29.690 dialed in if you dial these in and get
00:03:32.440 00:03:32.450 them to run right they will run very
00:03:34.510 00:03:34.520 reliably for a very very long time
00:03:36.820 00:03:36.830 trouble-free
00:03:37.900 00:03:37.910 the key on these is there's a port on
00:03:40.570 00:03:40.580 the inlet side of the gas valve and a
00:03:42.430 00:03:42.440 port on the outlet side to port on the
00:03:44.710 00:03:44.720 inlet side you hooked your manometer up
00:03:46.300 00:03:46.310 to and with the unit running with the
00:03:50.200 00:03:50.210 heat on Inlet you should have plus eight
00:03:53.350 00:03:53.360 to ten inches of water column gas supply
00:03:55.720 00:03:55.730 that's Inlet gas pressure into the gas
00:03:58.210 00:03:58.220 valve you adjust your gas regulator to
00:04:02.260 00:04:02.270 get that eight to ten inches again in
00:04:04.030 00:04:04.040 high fire so w1 and w2 outlets gas
00:04:08.770 00:04:08.780 pressure out of the gas valve this is
00:04:10.450 00:04:10.460 where these get tricky is this is a
00:04:12.190 00:04:12.200 negative pressure when it's running heat
00:04:14.979 00:04:14.989 again in high fire negative 0.2 inches
00:04:18.699 00:04:18.709 of water column to negative 0.36 inches
00:04:21.400 00:04:21.410 of water column in this pipe or the
00:04:23.409 00:04:23.419 outlet port on the gas valve
00:04:27.040 00:04:27.050 very common problem is if you have one
00:04:29.950 00:04:29.960 if you have these pressures off this
00:04:32.499 00:04:32.509 unit will will squeal sometimes or it
00:04:35.230 00:04:35.240 will do the wulfing sound barking like a
00:04:38.620 00:04:38.630 dog you guys all have a different term
00:04:40.120 00:04:40.130 for it you've heard that little rumbling
00:04:41.350 00:04:41.360 sound where they don't like to light
00:04:42.460 00:04:42.470 properly a lot of that is related to gas
00:04:44.529 00:04:44.539 pressure sometimes if you verify you
00:04:47.890 00:04:47.900 have the proper gas pressure it can also
00:04:51.820 00:04:51.830 be related to that gasket on that burner
00:04:53.890 00:04:53.900 plate right here guys there's a gasket
00:04:55.570 00:04:55.580 behind this plate that seals out off
00:04:57.969 00:04:57.979 around where all those bolts are if that
00:05:00.129 00:05:00.139 gasket has a leak it'll cause it to to
00:05:02.469 00:05:02.479 Rumble or a wolf or bark like a dog
00:05:04.570 00:05:04.580 the other thing that will cause it is
00:05:06.939 00:05:06.949 that gasket around the hot surface
00:05:09.010 00:05:09.020 igniter that gaskets gotta be good
00:05:12.159 00:05:12.169 these screws break off quite regularly I
00:05:14.649 00:05:14.659 use never cease when I reinstall these a
00:05:17.499 00:05:17.509 hot surface igniter xan I seize on those
00:05:19.570 00:05:19.580 screws but if you take one of these out
00:05:21.520 00:05:21.530 that screw breaks I've seen our guys
00:05:23.110 00:05:23.120 make a hole here next to that too to get
00:05:26.110 00:05:26.120 that igniter in there that won't seal
00:05:28.089 00:05:28.099 that hole properly and you'll get you
00:05:30.279 00:05:30.289 know improper pressures on the inside of
00:05:32.680 00:05:32.690 that heat exchanger you need to replace
00:05:34.360 00:05:34.370 that burner plate these plates are two
00:05:36.339 00:05:36.349 three four hundred dollars depending on
00:05:38.110 00:05:38.120 the unit very easy to replace whenever
00:05:40.870 00:05:40.880 you have one of those with the broken
00:05:42.129 00:05:42.139 screw and it just quote replacing the
00:05:43.930 00:05:43.940 burner plate so with all that said guys
00:05:46.839 00:05:46.849 I'm gonna fire this unit up it's gonna
00:05:48.550 00:05:48.560 get kind of loud here so I'm gonna try
00:05:51.370 00:05:51.380 to talk as loud as I can but what I'm
00:06:01.300 00:06:01.310 gonna do first guys is I'm checking I'm
00:06:03.850 00:06:03.860 gonna set this on p1 which is my Inlet
00:06:06.490 00:06:06.500 port on my manometer so I can check
00:06:08.890 00:06:08.900 water together
00:06:09.910 00:06:09.920 I'm gonna check in with gas pressure
00:06:12.360 00:06:12.370 from the gas regulator into the unit
00:06:16.810 00:06:16.820 should be eight to ten inches of water
00:06:18.820 00:06:18.830 column with the unit's start and get the
00:06:22.690 00:06:22.700 heat button on it it's loud so we're
00:06:24.370 00:06:24.380 trying to stand back here a little ways
00:06:26.070 00:06:26.080 as soon as the heat lights and it's an
00:06:29.380 00:06:29.390 eye fire and I've got stable combustion
00:06:31.600 00:06:31.610 then I will adjust the gas regulator to
00:06:36.970 00:06:36.980 get eight to ten inches of water column
00:06:39.040 00:06:39.050 on the inlet side the bottom side of the
00:06:41.500 00:06:41.510 gas bag
00:06:44.240 00:06:44.250 here's a white
00:06:47.180 00:06:47.190 soon as adults
00:06:49.390 00:06:49.400 video assistant here kind of go back and
00:06:52.480 00:06:52.490 forth between me on the regulator and
00:06:54.580 00:06:54.590 the manometer so you guys can see what
00:06:56.469 00:06:56.479 I'm adjusting and then the second
00:06:58.990 00:06:59.000 adjustment would be me adjusting the
00:07:00.700 00:07:00.710 outlet
00:07:05.770 00:07:05.780 in the first
00:07:08.740 00:07:08.750 yeah you guys can hear a welcome a
00:07:10.450 00:07:10.460 little bit
00:07:20.909 00:07:20.919 when I just listed
00:07:28.610 00:07:28.620 the inlet gas pressure
00:07:36.300 00:07:36.310 don't eat the damages
00:07:43.330 00:07:43.340 I'm turning it up turning it clockwise
00:07:47.260 00:07:47.270 I'm adding a little bit of gas pressure
00:07:55.260 00:07:55.270 so now
00:08:01.060 00:08:01.070 Jacobi outlet
00:08:06.240 00:08:06.250 we do
00:08:09.640 00:08:09.650 3/6
00:08:11.640 00:08:11.650 I'm gonna adjust this screw to do that
00:08:24.710 00:08:24.720 getting close guys
00:08:30.040 00:08:30.050 - negative 0.36
00:08:39.430 00:08:39.440 we got the pressure style then the thing
00:08:42.320 00:08:42.330 kind of the the unit calmed down a
00:08:43.969 00:08:43.979 little bit in the whooping sound went
00:08:45.620 00:08:45.630 away I'm gonna shut this unit off we're
00:08:47.720 00:08:47.730 gonna go over and take a look at a unit
00:08:49.280 00:08:49.290 that's apart and show you a couple of
00:08:55.130 00:08:55.140 tricks over here I've got it torn apart
00:08:56.540 00:08:56.550 already but
00:09:03.300 00:09:03.310 what I wanted to show you guys is now
00:09:07.030 00:09:07.040 the screen is in here dropped order sits
00:09:10.930 00:09:10.940 here so you take the draft motor out gas
00:09:13.449 00:09:13.459 comes in through this orifice from the
00:09:15.460 00:09:15.470 gas valve air is drawn through these
00:09:17.860 00:09:17.870 holes into the draft motor mixes in the
00:09:22.210 00:09:22.220 draft motor wheel and is injected in
00:09:25.050 00:09:25.060 through this first pre screen this
00:09:27.910 00:09:27.920 screen is designed just to keep the dirt
00:09:29.470 00:09:29.480 note of the the mains burner screen
00:09:34.000 00:09:34.010 which is inside so don't ever leave this
00:09:37.180 00:09:37.190 screen out guys this one has a purpose
00:09:39.220 00:09:39.230 and it should be cleaned on a regular
00:09:41.050 00:09:41.060 basis that string gets dirty also but
00:09:44.680 00:09:44.690 the screen can also get worked guys if
00:09:46.810 00:09:46.820 you over fire these that wolfing sound
00:09:49.480 00:09:49.490 whether you've got combustion going on
00:09:51.160 00:09:51.170 and off on and off on and off it'll
00:09:53.350 00:09:53.360 create little explosions in between
00:09:55.030 00:09:55.040 those plates and the screen the
00:09:56.290 00:09:56.300 combustion is supposed to be on the
00:09:57.550 00:09:57.560 other side of that plate on the back
00:09:59.590 00:09:59.600 side it'll warp that plate that plate is
00:10:02.290 00:10:02.300 concave for a reason it shapes the
00:10:04.269 00:10:04.279 combustion so once I've had one that's
00:10:07.329 00:10:07.339 done that or I'm having continuous
00:10:08.829 00:10:08.839 problems I will typically just replace
00:10:10.660 00:10:10.670 that plate if it's got a busted screw if
00:10:14.170 00:10:14.180 it's got a leak and it's got a crack
00:10:16.380 00:10:16.390 I've replaced probably three or four of
00:10:18.819 00:10:18.829 those a year we're gonna go back over to
00:10:20.470 00:10:20.480 this other unit I'm going to show you a
00:10:21.760 00:10:21.770 couple of quick tricks on electrical
00:10:23.290 00:10:23.300 stuff
00:10:33.670 00:10:33.680 so something else guys I want to show

00:11:28.400 00:11:28.410 have a third wire connected to them so
00:11:30.320 00:11:30.330 if you have a blower running on a train
00:11:32.150 00:11:32.160 and you don't think the blower should be
00:11:33.530 00:11:33.540 running if this is switch trips and
00:11:35.300 00:11:35.310 fails it'll energize the fan it's a way
00:11:39.020 00:11:39.030 to if the unit trips on high temp it'll
00:11:41.210 00:11:41.220 make the fan run until it cools off the
00:11:43.130 00:11:43.140 unit so with all that said guys I hope
