WARNING

The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil frying system, particularly the aspects of system operation, oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.

2.4 Principles of Operation

The incoming gas flows through orifices and is mixed with air in the burners to create the correct ratio for proper combustion. The mixture is ignited at the front end of each heat tube by the pilot light. Internal diffusers slow the flame as it goes through the burner tube. This slow, turbulent flame increases heat transfer to the walls of the tubes to heat the oil more efficiently.
