INTRODUCTION
The Alternate Heating Systems used oil-fired furnaces have been specifically designed for
burning No. 2 fuel oil, used motor oil, transmission oil, and mixtures not exceeding 50 SAE.
These furnaces have unique features not found in conventional furnace designs.
Alternate Heating Systems manufactures the furnace vessel to ASME standards. Used oil
combustion technology differs significantly from burners designed for No. 2 fuel oil only.
Additionally, used oil combustion in the furnace can produce adverse results not
encountered in warm air heat exchangers.
Fast access to the fire tubes is provided by the large doors on the rear and front of the
furnace.
CAUTION: Do not open the access door unless the power has been turned
off
.
This furnace must be installed by a qualified technician, knowledgeable in hot water heating
system design requirements.
These furnaces may have one or more hot water heating coils to produce domestic hot water
for car washes, shower, etc. Consult the enclosed diagram for an appropriate method for
piping the domestic coils. If the furnace coil serves hand taps it must have a tempering
valve to ensure that excessively hot water does not contact humans.
IMPORTANT: Furnace temperature must be around 180
