GRADED AND EXPERT APPROVED | NEW AND
REVISED
1 gallon of #2 oil contains approximately how many BTU's? - answer-140,000
BTU's
A cause of pulsating oil pump pressure and a pulsating fire is - answer-Air leaks
in the suction line
A fuel de-aerator: - answer-Eliminates the need for a return line back to the
tank
A proper combustion chamber: - answer-Is large enough so the fire doesn't
touch (impinge on) any surface, reflects heat back into the fire, and is made of
material (like ceramic) that heats up quickly and cools off quickly
Airstats are found on what type of heating systems? - answer-Forced warm air
systems
All petroleum products are chemical compounds of - answer-Hydrogen and
carbon
, An advantage of flame retention burner is - answer-Their high static pressure
enables boilers and furnaces with tighter more efficient heat exchange
passages
Aquastats are normally found on what type of heating systems? - answer-
Hydronic
Combustion performance testing can indicate: - answer-Improper air oil
mixture, too much combustion air, and low pump pressure.
Delayed ignition can be caused by: - answer-Weak ignition transformer
Delayed opening oil valves are used to? - answer-Allow oil pump to come up to
speed
Dirt or lint buildup in the bevel of the burner fan blades will - answer-Reduce
the amount of combustion air
Flashpoint of a fuel is an indication of - answer-The lowest temperature at
which the fuel will flash but not continue to burn
Fuel units (oil pumps) preform the following functions - answer-Move oil from
the tank to the burner and deliver oil at a constant regulated pressure to the
nozzle
