11.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
Diagram of:
*Oil Circulation from the Tank at the LOWEST floor of a building to the burner on the
floor above such floor through the pump* - Correct Answer-
12.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
What the *oil storage tank* do? - Correct Answer-*Provides the supply of oil for
combustion in the oil burner. It's inside a dike. In case of leak the diked area will contain
the oil.*
13.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
How is the #2 fuel-oil in its *normal condition*? - Correct Answer-*Is thin and light and is
easily pumped through the circulation system.*
14.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*What the suction pump do?* - Correct Answer-*Circulates the oil throughout the
system. Dirt and sediment are present in the fuel-oil coming from the oil storage tank.
The oil filter removes most of these contaminants from the oil before the oil reaches the
burner's strainer.*
15.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
How many inches has to be the *SUCTION LINE?* - Correct Answer-*6 inches from the
bottom of the tank for sediments not to be absorbed*
16.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
What is the *vacuum gauge?* - Correct Answer-*A device that measures pressure
below atmospheric pressure.*
17.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*Excessive vacuum readings* means? - Correct Answer-*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.*
18.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
Closing the *shut-off valve.?* - Correct Answer-Flow of oil *STOP*
*This permits the operator to clean the filter/strainer or to perform other maintenance*
19.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*Main Oil Storage Tank on the Lowest Level* - Correct Answer-
, 20.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*Main Oil Storage Tank Dike* - Correct Answer-
21.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
How operated the *Main Fuel Valve?* - Correct Answer-*The main fuel valve is
electrically operated and will open or close the line leading to the atomizer* only for oil
burners.
22.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
The *Main Fuel Valve...* - Correct Answer-*It will SHUT DOWN the burner system if
there is a failure of ignition or combustion*
23.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*Oil circulates through the piping system back* to....? - Correct Answer-*The storage
tank through the oil return line*
24.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
For Safety is provide a *Back Pressure Relief Valve* - Correct Answer-*If the pressure
becomes too great...*
25.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
Where is located a *Day Tank*? - Correct Answer-*May be located throughout the
building above the lowest floor*
26.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*Day Tank Filter* - Correct Answer-
27.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
Is required a *Separate pump*? - Correct Answer-*Yes, is required for each* DAY
TANK *to supply each floor*
28.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
In case of a *leak in the piping.....?* - Correct Answer-*Leak collector is provided. Leak
collector is stored by the storage tank*
29.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*Leak Collector Inside the Walls* - Correct Answer-
30.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
Leak collector has a *gauge?* - Correct Answer-*Yes, It has a oil level gauge which
shows the amount collected.*
*A gauge will show how much oil is inside a main storage tank/day tank*
