The Riello Gulliver BG series of one stage light oil burners is a complete range of Low NOx
products, developed to respond to any request for home heating, conforming to the strictest
standards governing the reduction of polluting emissions. The Gulliver BG series is available
in ten different models, with an output ranging from 16 to 72,3 kW, divided in two different
structures.
All the models use the same components designed by Riello for the Gulliver series. The
high quality level guarantees safe working. The Gulliver BG burners are fitted with a
microprocessor - based flame control panel, with diagnostic functions.
In developing these burners, special attention was paid to reducing noise, to the ease of
installation and adjustment, to obtaining the smallest size possible to fit into any sort of
boiler available on the market.
All the models are approved by the EN 267 European Standard, the Swiss standard BUWALLRV 92 and conform to European Directives for EMC, Low Voltage, Machinery and Boiler
Efficiency.
All the Gulliver BG burners are fired before leaving the factory.

COMBUSTION HEAD

REDUCING FLAME TEMPERATURE

The configuration of the combustion head provokes internal recirculation of the combustion substances. This re-circulation reduces
the flame temperature and therefore the NOx emissions.
Furthermore, re-circulation of the combustion substances speeds
up evaporation of combustible droplets creating gassy type
combustion, similar to gas burner blue flame.

COMBUSTION CHAMBER LENGTH LIMIT

When choosing Riello Gulliver BG burners, a
minimum distance must be respected between
the end of the blast tube and the back of the
combustion chamber. This distance varies
proportionally to the output of the burner, as
indicated in the diagram: this minimum
dimension is necessary to guarantee the recirculation of flue gases.

The Gulliver BG burner models are fitted with a new microprocessor control panel for the supervision
during intermittent operation.
For helping the commissioning and maintenance work, there are two main elements:
Switch

The lock-out reset button is the central operating element for resetting the burner control
and for activating / deactivating the diagnostic functions.
The multi-color LED is the central indication element for visual diagnosis and interface
diagnosis.

Both elements are located under the transparent cover of lock-out reset button, as showed below.

Switch

There are two diagnostic choices, for indication of operation and diagnosis of fault cause:
- visual diagnosis :

- interface diagnosis :
by the interface adapter and
a PC with dedicated
software.

The MO550 digital control box gives some other advantages:

Post ignition
The spark ignition is present during all safety time and for supplementary time of 3 seconds.
Adjustable post purge
The Post-purge is a function that maintains air ventilation even after the burner is switched off.
Post-purge time can be set to a maximum of 6 minutes.
This function can be activated and set in a very easy way by pressing repeatedly the reset button;
after 5 seconds the control box automatically shows the minutes set by the red LED flashing (1 pulse
= post-ventilation for 1 minute).
If during post-purge there is a new request for heat, it is halted and a new operating cycle starts.
The control box leaves the factory with the setting 0 minutes (no post-ventilation).
Remote lock-out reset
The Remote lock-out reset is a function that allows to reset the control-box operation from a remote
position. In the burner
packages will be included a
particular connector to
max 20 m
remote the reset signal.

The maximum length of
Connection cable
connection must be 20 m.

INSTALLATION DESCRIPTION
Skilled and qualified personnel must perform installation, start
up and maintenance.
A nozzle is fitted to the burner and used for fire tests in the factory.
If necessary, change the nozzle on the basis of the maximum
output of the boiler. All operations must be carried out as described
in the technical handbook supplied with the burner.
BURNER SETTING
The air damper can be opened without removing the burner
cover.

In the Gulliver BG models the amount of recircled

combustion substances can be regulated using a shutter
ring in the holes, which optimises combustion.

MAINTENANCE AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The maintenance position is easily carried out by hooking
the burner to the flange after removing it from the fixing
screw.

The nozzle holder can be serviced through the rear cover

without detaching the burner from the boiler.

The 7-pole socket is incorporated in the control box.

The 7-pin plug is also supplied for connection to the boiler.

BURNER ACCESSORIES

Tester
The tester controls the correct working of the burner components in the GULLIVER series. It can be
fitted to al the light oil models, with or without pre-heater.
It is made up of two parts: a control instrument and a "control box" which replaces and simulates the
one on the burner.
This tester is very simple to use: just replace the burner control box with the tester to check correct
working of the motor, valve, pre-heater and flame probe (only photo-resistance).
This device has a display showing the levels that have been measured, a selection switch for selecting
the component to be tested and four switches to be used in the various working stages of the burner
