DESCRIPTION

The tested pellet burner HMS HP 28 manufactured by the company HMS Heiztechnik 

Maschinenbau Service Hofer & Manglberger OEG with a nominal heat output of 28,0 kW 

comprises a pellet container, the fuel feeding system with an integrated rotary gate valve, the 

burner and the combustion chamber and a two-pass vertically set up pipe heat exchanger. 

The burner is equipped with an electric ignition fan, a cleaning motor for the heat exchanger 

and the burner, a speed-controlled draught fan, a Lambda sensor and a microprocessor 

control system.

A cuboid sheet metal storage container was used to perform the tests. At the bottom of the 

extraction container a flexible extraction screw is situated which is arranged in a ductile PLT 

pipe. The discharge system with integrated rotary gate valve is powered by a DC motor. The 

discharge system and the stoker screw are coupled with a slewable ball clutch system. The 

stoker screw transports the wood pellets diagonally upwards from where they fall through a 

drop shaft into the heat resistant metal burner. The fuel is ignited with a hot air blower and is 

monitored by a photo cell. The ignition is regulated by a microprocessor system which 

adjusts the fuel feed with a speed-controlled draught fan, a Lambda sensor, a photo cell and 

the boiler and flue gas temperature sensors according to the required heat output level. The 

levels of the primary air and secondary air flows are preset with factory-made valves. The 

primary air flow is directed through the fuel bed and the combustion gases are supplied with 

the secondary air flow with baffle plates. The combustion gases flow then to the pipe heat 

exchanger with integrated turbulators. The heat exchanger and the burner are automatically 

cleaned by a cleaning motor. The cleaning process takes place automatically via a two-part 

tipping grate. The ashes from the heat exchanger and the combustion chamber are collected 

in a common ash box. The combustion chamber and the heat exchanger are thermally 

insulated from the outside.

MEASUREMENTS AT THE TEST RIG

Measurements were taken to determine the heat output, boiler efficiency (direct method), flue 

gas composition, flue gas temperature in the measuring section, feed pressure (draught), 

emission characteristics and electrical power consumption. The surface temperatures were 

measured at nominal heat output and at stationary operation; this allowed the surface losses 

to be estimated.

The measurement equipment and the measurement methods correspond to ÖNORM EN 

303-5:1999, ÖNORM EN 304:1992/A1:1998 and EN 267:1999. The measurement accuracy 

and the measurement uncertainty are stated in the procedures for verification in the quality 

management manual issued by the Federal Institute of Agricultural Engineering 

(Bundesanstalt für Landtechnik).

TEST SETUP, MEASUREMENT METHODS

BOILER TEST RIG WITH HEAT EXCHANGER: Heat output measurement by directly 

measuring the amount of water circulated through the heating circuit and its temperature 

increase (DIN 4702-2:1990).

FLUE GAS EXTRACTION through a vertical measuring section, generating the feed 

pressure using a prefabricated flue pipe, diameter 200 mm, height above ground level 9 m, 

feed pressure limited by draught restriction flap.

HEAT OUTPUT MEASUREMENT: Determining the mass flow using the Coriolis mass flow 

meter PROMASS 63 F from Endress & Hauser, as well as the water temperatures at the 

boiler flow/return using a Pt 100 resistance thermometer, 1/3 DIN, calibrated as a pair.

FLUE GAS TEMPERATURE in the measuring section using a measurement system with 5 

Pt 100 resistance thermometers.

FEED PRESSURE with a ring balance meter.

WATER-SIDE RESISTANCE: Differential pressure transducer with ceramic measuring 

membranes DELTABARS PMD 230 from Endress & Hauser.

CARBON DIOXIDE AND CARBON MONOXIDE CONTENT: Non-dispersive infrared gas 

analyser NGA 2000 from Fisher-Rosemount; carbon dioxide: lowest measurement range 0 -

5 %, highest measurement range 0 - 20 %; carbon monoxide: lowest measurement range 0 -

400 ppm, highest measurement range 0 - 20000 ppm; measured in dry flue gas.

DUST CONTENT: Dust meter by company Ströhlein with nominal suction quantity of 4 m3/h, 

dust separation on stuffed quartz wool filter; filter is located directly after sampling probe and 

elbow, determination of partial flow volume by dry gas meter and upstream drying tower. The 

sampling point for determination of dust content is arranged directly after the measuring 

section.

CONTENT OF ORGANIC GASEOUS SUBSTANCES: Flame ionisation detector from JUM, 

Type VE 5; samples taken via heated filter and heated pipe (thermostatically controlled to 

180 °C); measured in damp flue gas.

NITROGEN MONOXIDE CONTENT: Gas analyser from ECO Physics Type CLD 700 E1-ht; 

chemiluminescent measurement principle; samples taken via heated filter and heated pipe; 

gas cooler; measured in dry flue gas.
- Page 4 of 15 - (170/02)

DATA LOGGING using TopMessage data logging system from Delphin Technologie AG, 

sampling interval 1 second, average value determined from 60 measurements, average data 

stored to media.

PERFORMANCE OF HEATING TESTS

HEAT OUTPUT: The measurements were carried out in accordance with ÖNORM EN 303-

5:1999 at nominal and minimum heat output (< 30 % of the nominal heat output) 

respectively. The nominal heat output measurements were performed after the burner had 

been in operation for at least 3 hours in the nominal heat output range. The measurements 

themselves were taken over a test period of at least 6 hours. The efficiency was calculated 

by taking into account the heat stored in the boiler water.

EMISSIONS: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, organic carbon and nitrogen oxide values 

were averaged over the whole test duration. The emissions of dust and nitrogen oxides were 

determined only at nominal heat output. For determining the dust content the extraction time 

per filter was limited to 30 minutes. The dust content was determined by 6 half-hourly 

averages, evenly distributed over the test duration. Calibration gases were used to check the 

gas analysers before and after every test period. 

SETTINGS: The declared measurements relate to reproducible tests using optimised 

settings. The settings were made during preliminary tests based on recommendations of the 

manufacturer. It was aspired to maximise the carbon dioxide content whilst at the same time 

minimising the carbon monoxide content. 

FUEL: The measurements were performed with wood pellets according to ÖNORM M 

7135:2000 with a diameter of 6 mm and a water content of 7,4 % and 7,8 %. The calorific 

value, the water content and the ash content were determined; the average values of the 

chemical data relating to the water- and ash-free substances were taken from ÖNORM M 

7132:1998.

FUNCTION CHECK of the temperature controller, safety temperature limiter and monitor. 

The measurements at the boiler were performed as specified in 5.13 of ÖNORM EN 303-

5:1999. The functional check to verify the rapid shutdown of the burner system was 

performed as specified in 3.35 and 4.1.5.11.2 according to ÖNORM EN 303-5:1999.

INTERPRETATION OF EMISSION MEASUREMENTS

The emission measurements were analysed by calculating the complete flue gas analysis 

using the carbon monoxide and the carbon dioxide content averaged over the measurement 

period together with the fuel composition data. The speed of the flue gas at the measuring 

point was calculated from the flue gas volume taking into account the pressure and 

temperature. 

The content of organic gaseous substances was measured in damp flue gas, the emissions 

were then converted for dry flue gas conditions and declared as organic carbon. The content 

of nitrogen oxides was measured in dry flue gas and declared as NO2.

SURFACE LOSSES

The heat loss through the boiler surface is determined using DIN 4702-2:1990 basing on 

radiation coefficients and arrangements of technical surfaces (according to Nusselt). During 

a test temperatures were measured at 35 points on the boiler surface at the nominal heat 

output and the heat loss through the surface was determined. The measurement results are 

shown in the following table:

Test number: HKA_1012

Ambient temperature: 20 °C

Flow temperature: 71 °C

Flue gas temperature: 123 °C

Heat output in the boiler circuit: 28,0 kW

Radiation losses from boiler: 0,15 kW

Percentage loss at nominal heat output: 0,5 %

The surface temperature of the handle on the combustion chamber/ash door was 2 K above 

the ambient temperature.

FUNCTION CHECK OF THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER / SAFETY TEMPERATURE 

LIMITER ON THE BOILER

The functional check of the temperature controller and the safety temperature limiter and 

monitor on the boiler was performed in accordance with section 5.13 of ÖNORM EN 303-5. 

The requirements were fulfilled.

FUNCTION CHECK TO VERIFY THE RAPID SHUTDOWN OF THE SYSTEM

Since the tested pellet burner HMS HP 28 from the company HMS Heiztechnik 

Maschinenbau Service Hofer & Manglberger OEG is not equipped with a device to dissipate 

the residual heat as described in section 4.1.5.11.3 of ÖNORM EN 303-5, the operating and 

fault conditions associated with a power outage and sudden loss of heat extraction were 

simulated in order to satisfy the definition of a burner system with a rapid shutdown facility.

During the course of the checks on the temperature controller, the safety temperature limiter 

and the rapid shutdown facility no dangerous operating conditions arose neither with the 

water system nor the burner.

During the test of 361 minutes 499 Wh were took up at nominal output with wood pellets; this 

complies with 0,3 % of the nominal heat output.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

The pellet burner HMS HP 28 from the company HMS Heiztechnik Maschinenbau Service 

Hofer & Manglberger OEG with a nominal heat output of 28,0 kW was tested in the power 

range of 7,9 to 27,6 kW using wood pellets compliant to ÖNORM M 7135:2000 having a 

diameter of 6 mm and a water content of 7,4 % and 7,8 %.

Since the boiler flue gas temperature is less than 160 K above room temperature at nominal 

heat output, the boiler manufacturer shall make recommendations in accordance with 

ÖNORM EN 303-5, regarding the flue installation in order to ensure sufficient draught and to 

prevent sooting up of the chimney and condensation.
