Unlike standard fuel oil, used oil must be pre-heated in order to ignite properly, and they have a higher flash point. Some used-oil furnaces are modified fuel oil burners, but that approach simply isn't good enough for Clean Burn customers.
The Clean Burn burner is engineered from the ground up exclusively to burn used oils, and burns standard fuel oil for added versatility. The pre-heater block heats oil and air to the same precise temperature for efficient combustion.
The mixture is ignited at the burner retention head, where additional combustion air is added, which swirls in a carefully calculated pattern to maximize combustion efficiency and help make flame control easier.
The special retention head creates more air turbulence at the point of ignition to generate a larger, more efficient flame, making operation more reliable and more forgiving for burning used oils.
Used-oil furnaces that use modified Beckett fuel oil burners (which are outstanding when used with standard fuel oil) are much more susceptible to nuisance flame-outs, or shut-downs. Clean Burn furnaces are legendary for reliability. The burner system is one good reason why.
The unique modular design of the Clean Burn burner also makes service faster and easier. |
