6.1
Oil level in the float housing
The oil level depends on the operating conditions of the facility and amounts
to approximately 20-50 mm in suction mode. If the oil level is higher, the float
housing may be completely filled with oil if the suction line is tight. This is
caused by the absorption of the air through the fuel oil. Over time, this results
in a reduction of the air cushion. When the operating conditions change (for
example, decreasing oil level in the tank), the air cushion is formed again in
the float housing.
6.2
Pressure mode
Since in pressure mode with an oil pump there is no gas formation caused by
suction, it is not meaningful to use the product in this mode. In pressure
mode, it is recommended to use a single-line filter with return pipe connec-
tion. If the system requires a fuel oil de-aerator, you can use a "Flow-Control
3/K HT" with upstream filter and brass filter cup or replaceable filter cartridge.
In the case of such applications, take appropriate measures to keep the
maximum permissible inlet pressure of 0.7 bar from being exceeded even
in the case of error conditions (defective pressure reducer), for example,
by means of a bypass valve, a pressure switch, etc.
A drip pan must be placed below the burner hoses and the oil de-aerator
via which leaking oil is detected and the burner is switched off.
