Air Controls: Air Regulator: NDF 35-25 to NDF 100-38 The flow of combustion air into the burner is controlled by a single adjustable air damper blade located within the air damper casting on the right-hand side (in all cases, such descriptions refer to the system as viewed from the rear) of the burner.
The pressure switch, which is fitted with an illuminated fault indicator and manual reset button, is factory set to the maximum value. Final adjustment of the setting of this switch is described in the Section on commissioning. Page 18 of 64 NDF 35-180 11/12...

The two oil nozzles (high and low fire) are held in a nozzle block located within the flame tube (refer to the Appendix). The nozzles are pre-sized by Nu-way in accordance with the heat inputs required and the available operating pressure.
This nozzle is factory-specified to deliver optimum performance under the specified operating conditions. Any queries regarding the size of the nozzle should be referred to Nu-way. The nozzle is held in position by the inner assembly oil lance, through which the oil flows from the manifold block to the nozzle and is recirculated back through the spill regulating valve.
