oil burner final Exam Questions and
Correct Answers
Does an PSC motor your capacitor, Aux winding and main windings remain in
the circuit while the motors run? - ANSWER-True
.Explain Intermittent ignition. - ANSWER-Ignition is on the whole time the
burner is running.
.Explain Interrupted ignition. - ANSWER-Ignition shuts off after the flame is
established, uses less electricity and loner component life.
.Explain the oil burner Primary control operation. - ANSWER-Capable of reacting
to the presence's or absence of flame, goes off if something is wrong and before
setting, check for saturated chambers.
.Flame Retention Burners have what advantage over Non Flame Retention? -
ANSWER-Better air to oil mixture and cleaner burning.
.Flame Retention Burners work on _ pressure? - ANSWER-High Static pressure.
.How do you adjust air on a Fixed Head and an Adjustable Head? - ANSWER-
Change the airflow from the ring, adjust the dept of the nozzle.
.How do you calculate vacuum in an oil pump? - ANSWER-1'' of vacuum 1 ft of
lift, 1'' for every 10ft of run and 1/2 to 1''for filter.
, .How do you test an ignition transformer safely? - ANSWER-Setting the gap
between the springs to 1/2'' and show an energized spark.
.How many windings does a split phase motor have and what are they? -
ANSWER-2. Running windings and starting windings.
.How may BTU's are in 1 Gallon of #2 fuel oil? - ANSWER-140,000
.Is a 2 pipe oil pump is a self bleeding pump? - ANSWER-True
.List a few reasons of how water would get into an oil tank? - ANSWER-
Condensation, vent caps and loose or missing joints.
.List three things needed for ignition? - ANSWER-Fuel, air and spark.
.On an oil pump shut down what is the max allowable drop and hold point? -
ANSWER-20 of operating pressure.
.On an outside oil tank, what happens to the viscosity of fuel oil? - ANSWER-
Viscosity will increase and slows down.
.The flow rate on a nozzle is based on what pressure? - ANSWER-100 psi
.What 3 things need to happen to oil for combustion? - ANSWER-Pressurizes,
atomizes and vaporization.
