GENERAL INFORMATION
HEATING
PLANT
-
Before
installing
this
burner
in
a
conversion
installation,
try
to
provide
adequate
space
to
service
the
burner
properly
when
installing
for
easy
maintenance.
The
heating
system
should
be
carefully
inspected
for
defects
and
cleanliness,
if
proper
performance
is to
be
obtained.
An
oil
burner
is
only
a
means
of
supplying
heat
for
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
into
the
heating
plant,
causing
heat
losses.
Inspect
smoke
pipe
and
chimney
for
elimination
of
leaks
and
obstructions.
Be
sure
of
adequate
chimney
size
and
height.
Install
a
mechanical
draft
adjuster,
ifneed
be,
same
size as
smoke
pipe
(see
column
under
"Draft
Regulators").
Warning:
If
this
burner
is
equipped
with
a
relight
type
control
it
shall
not
be
used
on
appliances
having
brick,
ceramic,
or
castable
refractory
liner
for
combustion
chamber.
Hazard
may
occur
on
flame
failure
because
the
flame
detector
may
see the hot
refractory
liner
and
not
respond
to
flame
outage,
permitting
prolonged
delivery
of
011
before
ignition
IS
returned
for
an
attempt
to
relight
the
burner.
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
efficiency
and
lower
stack
losses.
An
insulat-
ing
refractory
or
a
Fiber
Fax
type
chamber
can
be
used
with
this
burner.
It is
important
to
select
and
install,
if
necessary,
the
correct
size
chamber
on a
conversion
Job
(see chart).
On
the
flamelock
conversion
burners
the
atomized
oil
burns
just
eff
the
flarnelock
On
all
OJI
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
lovver
combustion
efficiency.
InstaJl
burner
so
the
face
of
air
cone
of
burner
is set
Yi"
behind
the
inside
front
wall
of
the
chamber
(see
diagram).
Caution
on
installing
Flamelock
burners
in
•
stainless
steel
chambers
should
be
taken,
because
of
the
higher
temperature
levels
produced
by
high
per-
formance
flame
retention
burners.
The
temperature
may
exceed
the
temperature
ratings
of
the
stainless
steel
chamber,
and
can
result in
chamber
burn
outs.
When
you
are
replacing
a
standard
burner
with
a
flame
retention
burner,
take
the
following
precautions
(1) Use
pliable
combustion
chamber
to
line
the
inside
of

TANKS
AND
PIPING
Local
codes
and
regulations
must
be
adhered
to
regarding

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

AIR
SUPPLY FOR COMBUSTION
Do
not
install
in
rooms
with
insufficient
air
to
support
combustion.
Occasionally
it is
necessary
to
install
win-
•
dows
or
cut
holes
in
a
door
to these rooms, to
obtain
sufficient
air
and
to
prevent
less
than
atmospheric
air
pressure
in
the
room.
If
there
is a
lack
of
combustion
air
in the
room,
the
burner
flame
will
be
yellow
and
for-
mation
of
soot
will
occur
in the
heating
unit.
In
buildings
of
conventional
frame,
brick
or
stone
construction
without
utility
rooms,
basement
windows,
or
stairs doors,
infiltration
is
normally
adequate
to
provide
air
for
combustion
and
for
operation
of
the
barometric
draft
control.
