GENERAL INFORMATION
Heating Plant - Before installing this burner in a
conversion
installation,
try
to
provide
adequate
space to service the
burner
properly.
The
heating
system
should
be carefully inspected for defects
and cleanliness, so
proper
performance
is
obtained. An oil burner is only a means of supplying heat to the firebox
and
from there the heating system
must
absorb
and circulate the heat. The flue
passages
and
heat
absorbing surfaces
must be clean
to
assure
maximum
heat
transfer
to the furnace or boiler.
Soot and
fly
ash
act as insulators, retarding
the
transfer of heat, All doors, openings,
and
cracks should
be cemented air-tight to
eliminate
air infiltration inlo the heating
plant,
causing heating
losses.
lnspect
smoke
pipe
and
chimney for
elimination
of leaks
and obstructions.
Be
sure of adequate chimney size and
height.
Install a mechanical
draft adjuster,
if needed
same
size
as smoke
pipe (see
column
under draft regulators).
COMBUSTION
CHAMBER
The
purpose
of a combustion chamber
is to maintain a high flame
temperature by
reflecting
the
heat
back into the
flame. A high temperature
assures
greater
combustion etficiency and lower stack losses. An insulating refractory or
a Fiber Fax type
chamber can be used
with this
burner.
lt is important to select and install,
if
necessary, the correct
size chamber
on the
conversion
job
(see
chart).
On the
Flamelock
conversion burners
the
atomized oil burns
just
off
the flamelock. On all oil burners the atomized oil must not touch the sides or bottom of
chamber, or smoke
will
result.
To eliminate the smoke,
excess
air will be required, resulting
in
high stack temperature
and lower combustion effi-
ciency. lnstall
burner
so the face
of air
cone
of burner is
set 1/8"
lo 114" behind the inside
front wall of the
chamber
(see
diagram). Caution
on
installing
Flamelock burners in
stainless
steel chamber should be
taken because
of
the
higher temperature levels
produced
by
high
performance
flame retention burners. The
temperatures may exceed the
temperature ratings of the
stainless
steel chamber, and can result in chamber burn out. Where
you
are
replacing a
standard
burner
with a flame retention burner, take
one
of the following
precautions: (1)
Use
"Wet Pac" Ceramic
Liner
to line the inside
of chamber,
(2)
Adjust
burner
(see
FinalAdjustments Column).
FUEL
UNITS AND OIL
LINES
Conversion
Burners
are
provided
with
single stage
3450
RPM
fuel units
with
the by-pass
plug
removed for single
pipe
installations.
This
is
satisfactory where the fuel supply is on the same level or above
burner
permitting
gravity
flow of
oil.
Never
exceed over 8 PSI
pressure
to
the suction
side
of fuel unit. A
pressure
of
over I
PSI
may
cause
damage
to the shaft seal and
allow it to leak
oil. When it is necessary to lift the
oil to
the burner, a return line should be run
between
fuel unit and oil supply.
(lf
lift exceeds 10 feet, a two-stage fuel unit must be used
with
a return
line).
When
a
two-line
system is used the
by-pass
plug
must
be installed. This
plug
is supplied along
with the burner attached to
fuel unit along with an information
pump
data
sheet
in
a
plastic
bag. When oil
lines are installed, continuous runs of
heavy
wall
copper tubing are recommended. Be
sure that all
connections
are absolutely airtight. Check
all connec-
tions and
joints.
Flared fittings
are
recommended. Do
not
use
compression
fittings.
See
pump
data
sheet for
siz-
ing, lift and length
for tubing
recommendations.
Use an oil filter of adequate size
for
all installations.
Install filters
inside the building
between the
tank
shut off
valve
and
the
burner. For ease of servicing,
locate the
shut-off
valve and
filter near the
burner.
TANKS
AND PIPING
Local
codes and regulations must be
adhered
to
regarding
tank
and burner installation.
WIRING
All wiring must
comply
with
the National Electric Code and local ordinances,
refer
to
diagram supplied
with burner or
controls, making
sure
the
burner and controls
are wired
correctly and that the
line
switch is
properly
fused
to
burner.
AIR
SUPPLY FOR COMBUSTION
Do not install in rooms
with insufficient air to support
combustion. Occasionally
it is necessary
to install windows
or
cut holes in a
door to these rooms to obtain sufficient air and to
prevent
less than
atmospheric air
pressure
in the
room. lf there is a lack of combustion
air in
the
room,
the
burner flame will be
yellow
and formation of soot will
occur
in the heating unit. In
buildings of conventional frame,
brick
or stone
construction
without utility
rooms,
basement win-
dows, or
stair
doors,
infiltration
is
normally
adequate
to
provide
air for
combustion
and for operation of the
barom'et-
ric draft control. For installation
in
an enclosed
utility room
without an outside
wall, a fresh air opening to the outside
with a free cross
section area of 2O square
inches
per
each
gallon per
hour firing
is recommended.
For each
1,000
feet
above sea level, increase the fresh
air opening by
at
least four
(4)
per
cent.
The room should
be isolated
fiom
any area served by
exhaust
fans. Do not
install an exhaust
fan in this
room.
