Adjusting Replacement Burner
The excess air adjustments on the Beckett ADC burner are essential to prevent the potential
damage to the burner and the burner combustion chamber. Excess air is required to insure
that the carbon and hydrogen are supplied with enough oxygen to burn completely.
If there is not enough excess air, the unit will smoke inside the combustion chamber and
eventually lead to unburned fuel residue left in the chamber. The function of the combustion
chamber is to reflect and retain heat to insure that all the atomized oil is burned.
Even a slight amount of soot can decrease the effectiveness of the chamber. It is estimated
that 1/8" of soot is equivalent to approximately a 1" thick fiberglass sheet.
With too little excess air, eventually the unburned fuel accumulates into the lining material.
Eventually it will burn even when the burner is turned off. The heat generated by this flame will
vent out through the burner and can cause internal damage to the burner. Typically it will
damage the plastic coupling which operates the fuel pump and it can also damage the primary
control unit. Other common problems include blackening and even distorting the optic eye.
The burner is factory set with the air band (B) at the wide open position and the air shutter (D)
adjusted typically between the 8 and 10 setting. Decreasing the excess air settings can lead
to the chamber fires as outlined above.
Note that as the nozzle wears, the flame characteristics will change. It is important to check the
nozzle periodically and replace it each year as outlined in the owners manual.
To adjust excess air flow into the burner:
1) Loosen screw (A) and rotate air band (B) to the wide open position, then tighten
screws.
2) Loosen 2 screws (C) and rotate the air shutter (D) until the pointer arrow (E) points to
the number 8 setting.
3) Start the burner and allow it to run for about 10 minutes.
4) Loosen the viewport retaining bolt (F) and swing cover (G) out of the way as shown.
5) While observing the flame through the view port , decrease the air shutter (D) by rotat-
ing it until the flame tip appears slightly smoky, then increase the air until the flame
clears up. The arrow (E) should be in the vicinity of 7 - 10. Tighten two screws (C).
6) Close and secure viewport.
