LVWO Waste Oil Boiler - Columbia Heating

COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY1. A minimum 2 CFM at 40 psi is needed into the burner. Use a hydraulic quick disconnector put ample flex in the line to swing burner open when servicing. A dedicated aircompressor at the boiler in lieu of using the shop’s air system is acceptable. A compressorof ¾ to 1½ HP is typical. Consult Columbia Boiler or your installer for models available.Drain all compressors frequently to help keep moisture from entering burner.2. Many burner service problems are from “rusty” air causing burner components to fail. Itis wise to use a oiler and/or regulator to treat & reduce air pressure entering the burner toapproximately 60 psi. Wear on burner parts will be reduced and ignition more reliable.Providing a drip leg with valve near the burner to trap water, scale, and rust isrecommended. If water is present take all measures to remove it. The air solenoid maystick and other components may rust and fail.3. SERVICE TIP: 80% of service problems can be avoided by keeping contaminants likerust chips, water, pipe dope, insects from reaching burner through the air and oil lines.OIL PUMP MOUNTING1. Consult your dealer for best plumbing methods before starting. Mount the pump asnear the oil supply tank as possible. You may mount the pump above the tank to suctionlift oil to the pump or another option is to place the pump below the tank level to gravityfeed or siphon oil to the pump. Do not exceed 10 psi into the pump inlet in anyarrangement or the seal may leak. Allow space for service. Be sure to meet allbuilding and fire code requirements.2. Any pump/motor orientation is acceptable as long as the pump shaft is horizontal. Youmay rotate the pump head on the mount to simplify plumbing connections. Be sure themotor and pump shafts are aligned and coupling set screws are tight before operating.Above Tank MountBelow Tank Level MountLVWO Manual Page 11 of 48
