SECTION 8: FUEL PIPING

8.2Fuel Oil Supply 8.2.1 Fuel Storage Tank

The fuel storage tank should be located outside the building as close as possible to the heater. The tank must be installed per local and national codes.

8.2.2 Fuel Pipes

The fuel pipes must be sized to ensure an adequate supply of oil to the entire installation. Galvanised pipe must not be used for oil installations. The fuel pipe must terminate at each heater with an isolating manual valve, a fire valve and a fuel filter. See Page 12, Figure 3. The fusible link of the fire valve should be installed 100 mm (4 in) above the burner.

The heater’s oil burner pump inlet is provided with a flexible oil line which should be used for the final connection. When making the final connection to the heater, do not block any of the removable panels of the heater. All COMBAT® oil-fired cabinet heaters are supplied with burner pumps fitted for one pipe systems.

8.2.3 Gravity Feed Systems

The simplest installation is a gravity feed system. This system relies on the head of the fuel to push the fuel through the system. See Page 12, Figure 3.

8.2.4 B. M. Oil Lifter

Where a gravity feed system cannot be used, a B. M. oil lifter may be used for small installations up to the equivalent of a single model 050 on minimum lift or a single model 020 on maximum lift.

The fuel output from the oil lifter is gravity fed. The B. M. oil lifter requires a constant 230 V 50 Hz 1 Ø electrical supply. The maximum pipe size to be used on the suction side is 1/4" ID, 5/16" OD (8 mm). For maximum loading of oil lifters See Page 17, Figure 11. Consult the manufacturer’s information regarding the need to prime these devices.

8.2.5 Pressurised Systems

See Page 18, Figure 12. For larger installations, a pressurised system may be used. In this type of system the pump draws fuel from the tank, then pushes it through the installation under pressure. The pressure is controlled at the pump by a pressure relief valve at approximately 0.8 BAR (12 psi). When a presurised system is used, a pressure reducing valve set at approximately 0.3 BAR (5 psi) should be installed on the fuel inlet to each heater after the manual isolating valve. This protects the oil pump from the danger of possible over pressure under fault conditions.

The electrical supply for the pump installation will depend upon the type of pumps chosen, but will normally be set to run continuously.
