Riello is a global leader in domestic and light industrial heating, and the RDB series is one of their most popular product ranges. The Riello RDB 2 90-120 model is a compact, light-oil (LDO/diesel) burner engineered for reliability and portability. It is widely installed in package boilers, paint booths, hot water washers, and food machinery. This guide covers the essential setup steps, maintenance checklist, and spare parts sourcing for this versatile burner.
Key Technical Design of the Riello RDB 2 The RDB 2 features a highly integrated design where the combustion fan, air damper, fuel pump, and control box are housed under a single compact cover. It operates on standard single-phase AC electricity and is designed for quick mechanical mounting. The burner blast tube is made of high-grade stainless steel to resist thermal corrosion, and the burner nozzle assembly can be easily accessed by removing the burner cover, making servicing quick and simple.
Step-by-Step Setup and Calibration Setting up the Riello RDB 2 for optimal combustion efficiency involves several critical adjustments: 1. Select the correct nozzle: Choose a Danfoss or Steinen nozzle that matches your required fuel flow rate (usually specified in US Gallons per hour). 2. Adjust pump pressure: Connect a pressure gauge to the Riello gear pump. Adjust the pressure screw (typically set to 10-12 bar) to achieve optimal diesel atomization. 3. Calibrate air damper: Adjust the air index slider to ensure clean combustion without excess smoke or unburned fuel smell.
Crucial Maintenance Checklist To prevent unexpected starting failures and lockouts, follow this periodic maintenance checklist: - Weekly: Pull out the photoresistance flame sensor and wipe the lens. A dusty lens will fail to see the flame and trigger a lockout. - Monthly: Inspect the ignition electrodes. Clean off any carbon deposits and check that the electrode gap is set precisely to the manufacturer's specification (usually 3 to 4 mm). - Bi-annually: Replace the nozzle and clean the inner gear pump filter.
Cross-Linking to Relevant Spare Parts Many burner faults are easily resolved by replacing standard consumables. Sourcing genuine Riello spares (or verified compatible brands like Danfoss for nozzles, Suntec for pumps, and Siemens for sequence controllers) ensures that the burner maintains its high safety rating.
