FUEL OIL BURNER THEORY AND DIAGNOSTICS

  Code No 604

Time: 34 Mins

This video is designed to provide insights into basic burner design and an understanding of how and why they work. Troubleshooting and setting-up are the focus of this video.

Plant performance can be closely dependent of the condition of the burner. Although it is a basic component, setting-up and the choice of components is very important.

These components, the air handling unit, the atomizer and the flame stabilizer are described in detail, including a physical description of the operation of each. Correct choice of these components avoids burner problems.

Efficient combustion requires attention to the problems associated with burner wear. The video shows how to recognise and correct problems of burner wear.

Watching the shape and appearance of the flame can be a good guide to efficiency of combustion and points to watch are described in the video.
