local standards should perform installation, maintenance and service on the unit’s internal
components. Installation and use of this used oil burning appliance shall be in accordance
with the standard for the Installation of Oil Burning Equipment
– ANSI/NFPA 31 – 1987, and
National Electric Code
– ANSI/NFPA 70 – 1990 and the requirements of the inspection
authorities having jurisdiction.
7.1 OIL BURNER TECHNOLOGY
The patented burner technology improves the efficiency of the oil burn process by continuous
stabilization of the oil viscosity. This is accomplished by precisely controlling the pre-heating of the oil
and air prior to introduction to the combustion chamber delivering optimum atomization (spray).
During the initial power up process the burner is locked out from energizing until the oil has been pre-
heated up to setpoint, approx. 3 to 5 minutes duration. Once the oil has been heated up, power is
then applied to burner components and oil pump.
Burner Components
Igniter Transformer:
Supplies high voltage to the electrodes generating electrical arc igniting
the oil
Oil Valve:
energizes when burner is running and de-energizes when burner is not running
eliminating bleed back of oil out of the Pre-heater block.
Air Band:
Adjusts amount of air introduced into the combustion chamber. (section 6.4.6)
Oil Primary:
Controls the oil burner ignition. Checks for flame in the combustion chamber, if
no flame is detected within 45 seconds, the oil primary will shutdown the oil burner. To restart
the unit, reset the red button on the oil primary.
Oil Pre-Heater Block:
Pre-heats the oil and air before entering combustion chamber.
Photo Eye:
Senses flame in combustion chamber and signals oil primary when no flame is
present.
Igniter Springs:
Transfers the high voltage from the igniter transformer to the electrodes
(when door is closed)
Air Pressure Gauge:
Displays air pressure supplied by onboard air compressor.
Air Compressor:
Supplies air used within pre-heater block to aid in atomization of the oil.
Air Muffler/Filter:
Filters air and muffles the sound generated by the compressor.
Pre-Heater Control Board:
Precisely controls temperature of the Oil Pre-Heater Block and
controls safety feature of not allowing burner to energize until oil has established operating
thermo setpoint or shutdown burner if Pre-Heater Block temperature falls below shutdown
thermo setpoint.
Electrodes:
Provides continuous high voltage electrical arc from electrode to electrode
igniting the waste oil as it is being sprayed out of the nozzle.
Nozzle:
Low pressure nozzle for oil spray pattern.
Flame Cone:
Specially engineered flame cone forces the flame into a swirl pattern improving
the burn thoroughness.
Burner Motor:
Multitask motor turns the burner blower and integrated air compressor.
Oil Pressure Gauge:
Displays oil pressure at the burner. Adjust flame length in the chiller
combustion chamber viewed through the inspection port located directly above the burner gun
assembly by increasing CW or decreasing CCW the adjuster located on the oil delivery pump.
The adjuster increases or decreases the pump motors RPM which increases or decreases the
delivery of fuel to the burner. When you increase or decrease the fuel to the burner you will
