4-3 OIL FEED AND STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
NOTE
28 Second Commercial Kerosene to B52869 Part 2: 1988 Class C2 is suitable for use with
this appliance.
35 second versions are available.
Installation of all oil feed pipework and storage equipment should be in line with -:
B55410 Part 1
Steel oil storage tanks to B5799 Part 5, if there is any doubt consult the tank manufacturer.
OFTEC requirements book T3 July 1995 rev.7.95
Minimum size storage tank should be 300 gals.
The burner can be supplied with oil via a gravity or pumped oil feed system. See FIG
If a gravity system is used the base of the tank must not be less than half a metre
above
the burner.
Where the tank will be fitted at a lower level than the appliance a lift pump must be used with
max. head above the burner base of 3 metres, the max head of the lift pump over the oil
supply tank must not exceed 5 metres.
A suitable filter must be fitted and the minimum fuel line diameter is 8 mm but this is
dependent upon the length of run.
If other appliances are being supplied from the same oil supply allowance must be made when
pipe sizing to ensure that an adequate supply of oil be maintained for each appliance.
The oil line must be sleeved and sealed in a plastic tube where it passes through any
brickwork. see FIGS 7 and 8
A remote acting fire valve such as a Teddington KBB C 150 deg F must be fitted with the
phial bulb being mounted under the front fender and the valve being fitted at the point where
the fuel line enters the property. see FIGS 7 and 8.
There must also be an isolation valve fitted in the same room as the appliance in a
conveniently accessible place. see FIGS 7 and 8.
Environment protection is of paramount importance. Where properties are prone to be at risk
from flooding take great care when fitting oil storage tanks.
Make sure that they are supported on reinforced concrete walls which are built high enough to
keep the tank well above any potential flood level and strong enough to withstand swollen
river current or flood tide conditions.
Make sure that the tank is firmly fixed to the supporting walls so as not to be washed away.
Tall, slim line plastic oil tanks must be secured to a substantial base to prevent them from
being blown over when the are empty or have a low oil content.
4-4 VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
Air Supply To The Burner.
See Building Regulations J11213 section 4. and B55410 part 1.
Calculate air requirements at 5.5 cm sq. per kW of output.
It is most essential that a permanent free air supply is established as the burner cannot
function correctly without it.
Provision for an adequate FREE air supply in to the room or house where the appliance is
fitted is required and can be established by multiplying the kW oil input of the appliance by
5.5cm sq.
The air supply will take the form of a purpose designed, NON hit or miss, air vent of correct
cross sectional area.
If an extractor fan is fitted in the same room as the appliance or if there is an open fire in an
adjoining room then extra compensatory air must also be made available for both these extra
requirements.
Minimum extra requirement for extractor fans is 55 sq. cm and it is preferred if the extra air
supply can be positioned in such a way as it can supply air to the extractor fan without the air
stream passing the appliance.
Minimum ventilation requirement for open fires is 212 sq. cm
