Did You Know.... Waste Oil Burns Hotter Than Other Fuel Sources?

Hydrocarbons are currently the main source of the world’s electric energy and heat sources (such as home heating) because of the energy produced when burnt.  Often this energy is used directly as heat such as in homes and businesses, which use either petroleum (fuel oil), natural gas or propane. The hydrocarbon is burnt and the heat is used to fire a furnace or heat water in boilers. A similar principle is used to create electric energy in power plants.  

Waste oil has a higher percentage of hydrocarbon content than fuel oil, which increases its heating value.   The heating value of waste oil is approximately 150,000 - 155,000 btu/gallon.  Fuel oil averages 140,000 btu/gallon, propane 92,500 btu/gallon and natural gas 100,000 btu/gallon.

You will get more heat from every gallon of waste oil than any other type of heating fuel.  For more information on how you can save money on your heating bills, contact Eco Heating Systems at 866-888-1103.

Cleaning the Nozzle On Your Clean Burn Waste Oil Heater

The nozzle on your furnace is designed to create a fine spray which will ignite when the burner operates.  If debris gets into your oil supply, it can clog the nozzle - preventing ignition.  If you are having trouble lighting your furnace, please follow the steps below to clean the nozzle.

Removing the Nozzle for Cleaning:
NOTE: Due to swivel fittings on the air and oil lines, it is not necessary to disconnect these lines
when swinging the burner open.
1. Remove the lock-down nut on the mounting flange bolt.
2. Disconnect the burner power cable.
3. Carefully swing the burner open to its maintenance position.
4. Remove the nozzle from the nozzle adapter with a 5/8" socket.

Cleaning the Nozzle:
1. Unscrew the stem from the nozzle head.
2. Spray WD-40 or equivalent through the orifice to thoroughly remove any blockage.
CAUTION: DO NOT damage or deform the nozzle orifice; DO NOT use a torch tip
cleaner or other inappropriate device to clean the orifice. If the blockage is a "tarry"
material or a hard, black material, call your Clean Burn dealer for service.
3. Flush all components with WD-40 to remove oil residues.
4. Reassemble the nozzle components. When tightening the stem, just barely "snug" it down.
DO NOT over tighten.
5. Check the O-ring on the nozzle stem. Replace the O-ring if it is in the least bit cut or
deformed.
6. Lubricate the O-ring on the nozzle stem with a couple of drops of new motor oil, then reinstall
the nozzle.
7. Check the electrodes for proper gap and clearances. (Figure A3 of your Clean Burn operators manual)
8. Re-install the burner and adjust for optimal performance as described in Section 6.
NOTE: If the nozzle plugs within a few days after cleaning, call Eco Heating Systems at 866-888-1103
