SAACKE CMSF 1 BURNER CONTROL UNIT 198 S 1 8980 108045 2 8494 068215

The SAACKE CMSF 1 is a compact, single-stage fuel oil burner designed for small to medium-sized industrial and commercial heating applications. It is known for its robust construction, reliability, and efficient combustion. The unit you have specified is a specific configuration, likely intended for burning light fuel oil (EL) or heavy fuel oil (s).

The part numbers you’ve listed (198 S 1 8980, 108045 2, 8494 068215) indicate a complete burner assembly, including the control unit, a specific burner fan (198 S 1 8980), and other integrated components.

Key Features & Specifications

• Burner Type: CMSF 1 (Compact Single-Stage Fuel Oil Burner)

• Control Unit: The core component that integrates the fan, fuel pump, nozzle line, and control electronics into a single, pre-assembled unit. This simplifies installation and commissioning.

• Combustion Principle: Pressurized air combustion with a single-stage fuel injection system.

• Typical Fuels:

  • Light Fuel Oil (EL)

  • Heavy Fuel Oil (s) – Requires a preheater unit (not always included in the base control unit).

• Applications: Ideal for a wide range of equipment, including:

  • Industrial boilers

  • Hot water or thermal oil heaters

  • Air heaters

  • Small process heating applications

Detailed Breakdown of Components

Based on the part numbers, this specific “CMSF 1 Burner Control Unit” package includes:

1. Burner Fan / Air Intake Section (Part: 198 S 1 8980)

• This is the combustion air fan and its housing.

• It is responsible for supplying the precise amount of air required for combustion.

• The “198 S 1” designation specifies the fan size and performance characteristics (air volume, pressure), which is matched to the burner’s output.

2. Main Control Unit Assembly (Part: 108045 2)

• This is likely the core assembly number for the complete CMSF 1 unit in a specific configuration.

• It encompasses the structural frame, motor, fuel pump, and mounting points for all other components.

3. SEO / Additional Assembly (Part: 8494 068215)

• “SEO” often stands for Sonderausführung (Special Version) or a specific assembly set.

• This part number likely refers to a specific kit or pre-assembled section that may include:

  • The nozzle line assembly (including the solenoid valve and pressure gauge).

  • The photo-resistive flame monitor (RLS) and its viewing tube.

  • The control box containing terminals for external control (e.g., from a boiler thermostat) and the programming relay for the burner sequence.

  • Ignition transformer and electrodes.

Technical Highlights

• Pre-assembled Unit: Reduces installation time and potential for error.

• Integrated Fuel Pump: Provides the correct pressure for atomizing the fuel oil at the nozzle.

• Forced Draft Fan: Ensures stable and efficient combustion across the burner’s operating range.

• Programmed Control: The built-in control system manages the start-up, operation, and shutdown sequence safely, including pre- and post-purge cycles to prevent explosive atmospheres.

• Safety: Features a flame monitoring device (UV or photocell) that will shut down the burner immediately if no flame is detected, ensuring safe operation.

Typical Use Case

This SAACKE CMSF 1 unit would be mounted onto the front of a combustion chamber (e.g., a boiler). The external control wires (thermostat call for heat) are connected to its control box. When activated, it performs a safety check, purges the chamber, ignites the fuel, and modulates to meet the heat demand. It is a workhorse burner for applications where reliable, simple, and efficient heat generation is required.
