Hello, i have an Auxiliary Boiler RP-400M-I burner from Kangrim and i have the follow problem :

I am ruining on MDO and yesterday during day time we received alarm ”Flame Failure”, we opened the burner checked electrodes(were OK) and clean all the filters, after restart boiler fired for around 14 hours. After 14 hours we received same alarm, again cleaned filters but this time with out success. Next day we opened the boiler and re-adjust the electrodes, cleaned filters again but with out any success. We changed also the nozzle with new one, with out any succes also.
After all of above we start it in manual mode(emergency mode) and started, but it takes around 5-8 seconds to keep pressed ignition button(for the spark of electrodes) and the valve for oil open, for the boiler to start firing. The pressure is in range, around 28 BAR in ring line.We also drained the MDO tank to check if it has water, but no water in MDO is present.
For auto operation, my boiler burner controller is from SIEMENS LAL 2.25 and its set for 2.5 seconds to give spark to my electrodes, this set point is from factory and i cant open the box to increase/decrease this set point, because for manual operation(emergency start) i have different burner controller.

The boiler run on auto operation for like 14 days with out any problem in MDO.

What can be the problem? Do you have any advice? Can it be the MDO? or this Burner controller from SIEMENS is not working properly?

Have a different problem here on our Saacke Boiler,
Switch on Automatic mode after low steam pressure, no response from the boiler.
Then switch to Manual, combustion air fan is running but cannot increase or decrease load/damper, tried to fire the Igniter and Oil valve did not activate,. the rotary cup atomizer did not run also.
What could be the problem?

In reply to Danne yaril. @Danne: Do check the nozzle of the pilot burner for the angle and length of the spray ( as per the manual). Also, flame eye needs to be cleaned.
