Electric FD Fan Actuator For Aalborg Boilers

The document summarizes an equipment upgrade kit for Aalborg boilers that replaces the original pneumatically operated forced-draught fan actuator with an electrically operated actuator. The electric actuator provides more accurate and reliable control of dampers to match fan airflow to combustion needs without fluctuations that can cause issues. Benefits include increased reliability without faults from moisture, natural ventilation during blackouts, cost savings from increased uptime and reduced maintenance needs. The upgrade kit contains all necessary components and installation assistance is recommended.

Equipment Upgrades for Aalborg boilers – electric FD fan actuator

Enhanced forced-draught fan control for improved burner reliability

The electric FD (forced-draught) fan actuator upgrade Accuracy is further improved by the actuator’s modulating

The fan actuator controls the dampers that match the FD • Natural draught (ventilation) due to fail-safe position in the

fluctuations that can lead to smoke, low efficiency and
unintended flame failures. • Easy installation without calibration
• Limited maintenance
Unlike a pneumatic actuator, an electric actuator is not
affected by moisture contamination in the control air.
Moreover, it has a feedback system based on internal
positioning, rather than a mechanical feedback system.
Scope of service

MDD00311
• Ready-to-install kit
The electric FD fan actuator upgrade is provided as
a standard kit with everything needed for complete
installation.

• Installation assistance
While the upgrade is relatively easy to perform with basic
electrical training, the assistance of an Alfa Laval service
engineer during the installation is recommended whenever
possible.

Scope of supply
The electric FD fan actuator upgrade involves the installation
of a small control cabinet close to the FD fan and a power
cable connecting it to the boiler’s local control cabinet. The
upgrade kit contains the following:
• Electric actuator with cables
• Installation brackets
• Control cabinet
• Operation manual and spare part list

The upgrade is applicable to all Aalborg KBSA and KBSD


burners delivered up to 2015. As of late 2015, electric
actuators for the FD fans are part of the common platform for
new deliveries of these burners.
