11.- Oil Circulation in the System
Diagram #1
The process of oil circulation from the tank at the lowest floor of a building to the burner on the
K
floor above such floor through the pump.
C
12.- Oil Circulation in the System
LO
Oil storage tank
Provides the supply of oil for combustion in the oil burner. It is inside a dike. In case of a leak the
diked area will contain the oil. In its normal condition, #2 fuel-oil is thin and light and is easily
pumped through the circulation system
YC
13.- Oil Circulation in the System
A Suction pump
Circulates the oil throughout the system. Dirt and sediment are present in the fuel-oil coming
D
from the oil storage tank. The oil filter removes most of these contaminants from the oil before
the oil reaches the burner's strainer.
U
14.- Oil Circulation in the System
ST
The Suction Line
Has to be 6 inches from the bottom of the tank for sediments not to be absorbed. The vacuum
gauge is a device that measures pressure below atmospheric pressure. Excessive vacuum
readings indicate that there is an obstruction in the suction line (such as dirty oil strainer). When
this occurs the flow of oil can be stopped by closing the shut-off valve. This permits the operator
to clean the filter/strainer or to perform other maintenance
