Save money with lower fuel use

No matter what the problem is, a little TLC is always the first step and it is necessary if you want things to survive and function in full potential. This is why the right maintenance is the key to lowering the use of fuel and saving money.

When coming to fuel consumption, you must look at the purpose, which operates with high efficiency to reduce costs and have less damage and repairs to provide the extended design age of your equipment. Stay above every/all adjustments needed to restore system efficiency, will reduce fuel use, and reduce carbon emissions. API is the right size, clean, stable and efficient, must always be a top priority. Of course most of the newer equipment is more efficient than older equipment, but even older equipment can be maintained well to run on the peak efficiency as well.

In essence, important details – especially when coming to the right maintenance. Less damage and the highest and highest efficient combustion rate will ultimately reduce the use of fuel and become the most cost -effective solution.

6 steps to reduce fuel use

Homeowners are looking for opportunities to maintain the safety and comfort of the maximum cold weather in their homes, while reducing costs. People who now work from home are devastated by the amount of money they spend for utilities for heating and cooling, and experience various problems when coming to maintenance and repair. The good news is that there is a way to reduce fuel costs, and at the same time maintain the advantage of the environment, safety, and comfort of Bioheat® fuel with effective maintenance.

Below is a case study of a homeowner who is our new customer, with the house of two families, in Brooklyn, New York. Their modern boiler has an excellent Beckett Burner that operates inefficiently for some time, due to poor neglect and service. We take the most reliable steps to restore the Beckett Burner with maximum efficiency using our experience and producer specifications. This reduces their fuel consumption, saves money and irritation at the same time.

Fire characteristics

It is important to understand the differences between the theoretical fuel savings producers and real -world fuel consumption. Many people do not realize that BTU input/size, and fire characteristics play a large role in how much fuel is burned when you heat your home. Case studies that reflect various boilers and warm air furnaces in a multi-unit home and apartment have been parallel in their discovery. They have shown the subject “before” as very inefficient with smoking fires that produce wasteful carbon and emission buildups, and unnecessary use of fuel. However, after installing the correct nozzle and making all the important adjustments to the fuel pressure, the arrangement of the drawer assembly, and the air fuel mixture, this study shows that the mechanical is able to control and maintain much better efficiency, economy, and clean combustion, while reducing the right damage and emissions at each proper heating. Heating effect. Increased combustion efficiency is confirmed by using a good combustion analysis before and after making the required correction. Even an increase in efficiency of 5 or 10% can save consumers hundreds of dollars per year!

Burning head

In the same case, the combustion head is carbonized due to the wrong “Z” regulation of the drawer assembly, in addition to having the wrong fuel pressure, and the use of the wrong sized nozzle with the wrong spray pattern. This all causes poor overall combustion, low efficiency and much higher fuel costs. Because carbon buildup needs to be avoided, the combustion head is cleaned and the fuel pump pressure is set based on the manufacturer’s specifications for the right operation.

Check and adjust the ignition electrode

When you have a Beckett drawer assembly that is positioned too far back, combined with the wrong nozzle and the wrong ignition electrode regulation, will cause the same result of loss of fuel and inefficiency. The best thing to do is to reinstall with a new and correct atomization nozzle, and then regulate the refining electrode to the right specifications.

Side plates

Another additional component is the correct position of the assembly of the drawer and side plates for the Beckett Burner. In the case above, the plate is pulled too far back because the electrode is arranged incorrectly, and because the wrong nozzle is used. All of these parts work together so that when someone is inactive, everything needs to be checked and reset to achieve the most efficient clean burning for reducing fuel use. The simple solution in this case is to adjust the appropriate side plate and push it forward to the right “Z” settings using a Beckett gauge.

PRESSURE

Initially, fuel pressure was found only at 85 psi, which was too low for good combustion. Correct fuel pressure on most of the current equipment needs to be adjusted to at least 140 psi. If the fuel/psi pump pressure does not meet the producer specifications, the fuel pressure adjustment is very important.

Noble

As mentioned above the wrong nozzle needs to be deleted. New atomization nozzle (1.10-80a) for this boiler is the solution. Using a nozzle that is too large or too small, with a spray angle or the wrong spray pattern for each certain burner or heating unit, it is likely to produce imperfect combustion and higher fuel use.

The whole takeaway is that each part cannot do full potential if they all don’t work together. If one thing is inactive, the rest will die. Each component needed to carry out its duties for optimal fuel efficiency. When it comes to fuel efficiency, this is no different in saving gasoline for transportation. We cannot emphasize how important maintenance is when carried out by professional technicians with the experience of working with this type of equipment.
