OIL BURNER TECHNOLOGY Omni’s patented burner technology improves the efficiency of the oil burn process by continuous stabilization of the oil viscosity. Optimum atomization (spray) is accomplished by precisely pre- heating the oil and air prior to introduction to the combustion chamber. The waste oil enters into the Oil Pre-Heater Block (figure2) and is pre-heated to operating thermo setpoint, then compressed air from the air compressor (figure1) is mixed with the oil prior to spr

• Air Pressure Adjuster: (figure1) Adjusts the air pressure going to the pre-heater block. Should be adjusted between 12 PSI and 13PSI as indicated on the Air Pressure Gauge on the burner for thorough burn of the waste oil. Note: In order to insure proper air adjustment, air gauge must read 0 when burner is cycled off or powered down. • Oil Pressure Gauge: (figure1) Displays oil pressure at the burner. Adjustment at the Oil Pump must be made to achieve oil pressure readings at the burn

COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY WARNING Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion will result in hazardous operating conditions. Note If you use a fireplace or a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan, you should install an outside air intake. These devices will rob the boiler and water heater of combustion air. 1. In unconfined spaces in buildings infiltration may be adequate to provide air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight

3. Breeching • See Table 2 for minimum recommended breeching and chimney sizes. • Keep run boiler to chimney as short as possible. • Use as few elbows as possible. • Slope upward towards chimney at not less than 1/4” per foot. • Use a sealed-in thimble for the chimney connection. • Connect together all sections and/or fittings with sheet metal screws and seal with silicone sealant. 4. When more than one appliance is connected to the same chimney, the chimney’s internal cross-sectional

SIDE-WALL VENTING---IMPORTANT NOTE Two problems arise when side wall venting any oil appliance; 1. There is sometimes an accelerated rate at which soot builds up on the cad-cell, spinner, etc. 2. There is the potential for severe soot damage to the side of the structure in the event that the boiler operates at a high smoke level. This can happen for many reasons, some of which are out of the control of both the installer and appliance manufacturer. Econo Heat recommends the us
