FUEL PIPELINE
The following description covers the basic requirements to ensure efficient operation.
The unit is equipped with a self-suction pump capable of sucking oil directly from the cistern also for the first fill-up.
This statemet is only valid if the required conditions exist (refer to the table of distances and differences in levels and
the viscosity - temperature diagram).
To ensure efficient operations, it is preferable to make suction and return pipes with welded fittings and to avoid the use
of threaded connections which often cause air infiltrations and disturb pump operations and consequently those of the
burner. Where a removable fitting is required, use the welded flange method with a fuel resistant gasket inserted; this
will ensure a perfect sealing. The attached tables show diagrams of the different types of systems depending on the
position of the tank with respect to the burner.
The suction pipe should run up-slope towards the burner to avoid possible formation of gas bubbles.
Where more than one burner is installed in one boiler room, it is essential that each burner has its own suction pipe.
Only return pipes can lead to a single manifold pipe with an adequate cross section leading to the cictern.
Never connect the return pipe directly to the suction pipe.
It is advisable to properly insulate the suction and return pipes to prevent cooling which would effect the unit's efficiency.
Pipe diameters (to be strictly complied with) are listed in the following tables.
The maximum amount of vacuum that the pump can withstand when operating regularly and silently is 35 cm of Hg; if
this limit is exceeded, normal pump operations can no longer be guaranteed.
Maximum suction and return pressure = 1 bar.
When the viscosity of the fuel oil to be used exceeds the pumping limit, (see diagram) it is necessary to heat the oil in
order to ensure that it flows through the pipes.
Pre-heating in the cistern can be carried out with a steam coil or with a hot water coil.
The coil should be fitted near to the suction pipe and must always be immersed even when the tank is at the minimum
level. The extent of pre-heating should be decided after consulting the viscosity - temperature diagram.
The oil should be heated until its viscosity rate is under that defined for the pumping limit.
However, a slight pre-heating in the cistern is always advantageous even when using fluid oils (3 ÷ 5 °E).
If pre-heating is carried out with a steam or hot water coil, a considerable saving in electricity can be made; in fact; the
electrical resistances installed in the burner only higher the oil temperature when the thermal stage corresponds to the
difference in the arrival temperature at the pre-heater and the temperature at which the oil becomes atomized.
However, to avoid the formation of gas which would disturb pump operations, pre-heating in the cistern of fuel oil (5 °E
at 50 °C) should not exceed 30 °C.
AUXILIARY PUMP
(see BT 8511/5 - BT 8513/6)
In some cases (excessive distance, difference in level or high viscosity), it is necessary to install a "loop-type" supply
system with an ancillary pump, which dispenses with connecting the burner pump directly to the cistern.
In this case, the ancillary pump can be put into operation when the burner is started up and cut off when it stops.
The electrical connection of the ancillary pump is made by connecting the coil (220 V), which controls the pump's relay,
to terminals "N" (the control box's line unput terminal board) and "L1" (downstream the motor's relay).
It is important to comply strictly with the following provisions:
- The ancillary pump must be installed as near as possible to the fuel to be sucked.
- The head should suit the system in question.
- We recommend an output at least equal to that of the burner's pump.
- Connection pipes should be of a size to cope with the output of the ancillary pump.
- Always avoid connecting electrically the ancillary pump's motor directly to the burner's motor relay.
