ABOUT

Series 1: The Basics of Oil Burners

Today's heating industry is more demanding and technically driven than ever before. But even with all of today's innovations, a thorough understanding of the basics of the combustion cycle and the technician's ability to properly set up an oil burner is fundamental. In our Online Training Series, The Basics of Oil Burners, we seek to provide that foundation that will drive your success as a technician. This series will consist of four (4) modules, each designed to build on one another. When you're done with all four (4) modules, you will be able to:

  • List the components of a combustion cycle
  • Apply and adjust a fuel unit / fuel pump
  • Show how input rating changes directly with a change to pump pressure
  • State the differences between an AF and AFG burner
  • Set the electrodes and head positions using the Beckett T-501 and Z-2000 gauges
  • Set the Z dimensions for:
    • F heads
    • M air tubes
  • Benefits of solid-state igniters
  • Understand operation and sizing of draft regulators
  • Understand nozzle types
  • Learn impact of oil temperature on operation
  • Commission a burner using the 4-step combustion efficiency test
