OIL BURNER SETTINGS
EK1T Ascent Combi Boilers are shipped from the factory preset for 0.85 GPH firing rate. The Ascent Combi Boiler can
be fired over a range of firing rates to suit the needs of the application. The following table lists approximate settings for oil
burners based on testing performed at Energy Kinetics.
CAUTION: Final settings for each burner and firing rate for a particular installation must be determined by using
combustion test equipment and following the instructions given under "Start Up Procedure".
CAUTION: Because the energy converter removes heat from the combustion flue gas so efficiently, low firing rates may
not provide high enough flue gas temperature for proper draft in a chimney. The Columns labeled 'Chimney' and 'Sidewall'
show the suitability of the firing rate for a particular combination.

OIL BURNER MOUNTING
Ascent Combi and Ascent Plus Combi Boilers are shipped from the factory with the oil burner pre-mounted. The burner
flanges are designed to insert the burner head 2-3/8” into the boiler. Energy Kinetics installs a ceramic sleeve, (the amulet),
to protect the burner head from the heat of combustion, and then seals the air tube flange joint with a high-grade retort
cement. NOTICE: Oil burners for field installation or for field replacement should be installed according to burner
manufacturer instructions, according to installation instructions below, and with consultation with Energy Kinetics for any
special considerations or adjustments.
Follow these instructions for field installation of Energy Kinetics supplied burners. Start by checking nozzle and
electrode position per manufacturer’s specifications prior to assembly to unit. Test fit the amulet by inserting the amulet into
the boiler opening. If the amulet doesn't easily slide into the boiler, then gently sand the outside diameter of the amulet until
it will fit into the boiler opening. Test fit the amulet onto the burner head. If the amulet is a tight fit on the burner head, then
slightly moisten inside the amulet with water.
Place a 3/8" bead of retort cement onto the burner head at the flange to air tube joint, and slide the (moistened) amulet
over the burner head and against the flange. Ensure proper seating of the amulet by pressing the amulet onto the burner
with a flat object. Leave the excess retort cement at the amulet to flange joint and the cement will provide an airtight seal of
the air tube flange to the boiler face.
The amulet has an inside edge that will cover the edge of the burner head. The air slots in the retention head must not
be blocked or obstructed by the amulet. If needed, trim a 45-degree chamfer on the inside of the amulet using a sharp
utility knife and maintain a 1/8" clearance to retention head air slots.
Once the amulet has been seated and trimmed, then install the burner into the boiler by carefully inserting the air tube
with amulet into the boiler opening while aligning the burner flange holes with the boiler studs. Install flat washers and nuts
onto the boiler studs and tighten all nuts evenly.
