What is the fuel oil pressure in a typical high pressure fuel oil burner?

A residential gun-type burner normally requires a oil 80 – 130 psi oil pressure. Commercial and industrial burners requires 100 – 300 psi. The gun-type is very flexible and can be used within a large range of applications, from relative small residential heaters to larger industrial heating applications.

What should the pressure be on a oil furnace?

Generally, the ideal pressure is between 1 and 2 bars, but this may vary from boiler to boiler.

What provides the pressure for a high pressure oil burner?

Today’s oilburners are called high- pressure burners because they use a fuel pump to pressurize the oil to 100 pounds per square inch (PSI) or more.

How do I increase the pressure in my oil furnace?

Adjusting Fuel Pump Pressure

1. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase pressure.
2. Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
3. Never exceed the pressures indicated in Table 1-2.

What should boiler pressure be when heating is off?

What Should The Boiler Pressure Be When The Heating Is Off? If your central heating system is turned off the boiler pressure should be between 1 and 1.5 bar. This means that the needle should still stay in the green area of the pressure gauge.

What is the normal pressure for a boiler?

Normal boiler pressure should be between about 1-2 bars. The ideal boiler pressure is often marked as a range in green on the gauge itself. With red indicating the low and high boiler pressure zones. Bear in mind that your boiler may continue to work if the pressure is in these red zones.

What is the purpose of the cut off inside the oil pump?

The quick-acting solenoid cutoff virtually eliminates smoke at shutdown. By immediately stopping oil flow to the nozzle, the burner air flow and static pressure are still adequate to complete combustion of any residual oil vapors in the combustion area, before the motor coasts to a stop.
