Installation
5.10 Light oil supply
The burner is equipped with a self-priming pump which is capable
of feeding itself within the limits listed in the table at the side.
Tank higher than burner A (Fig. 20)
The distance "P" must not exceed 10 meters in order to avoid
subjecting the pump's seal to excessive strain; the distance "V"
must not exceed 4 meters in order to permit pump self-priming
even when the tank is almost completely empty.
Tank lower than burner B (Fig. 20)
Pump depression values higher than 0.45 bar (35°cm°Hg) must
not be exceeded. Because at higher levels gas is released from
the fuel; the pump becomes noisy and its lifetime is shortened.
It is good practice to ensure that the return and suction lines enter
the burner from the same height; the suction line is more difficult
to disconnect.
5.10.1 Loop circuit
The loop circuit is composed of a duct starting from the tank and
going back to it, in which an auxiliary pump makes the pressur-
ised fuel flow. A branch from the loop supplies the burner.
This circuit is extremely useful whenever the burner pump does
not succeed in self-priming because the tank distance and/or
height difference are higher than the values listed in Tab. I.

Explosion danger due to fuel leaks in the pres-
ence of a flammable source.
Precautions: avoid knocking, attrition, sparks and
heat.
Make sure the fuel shut-off valve is closed before
performing any operation on the burner.
The fuel supply line must be installed by qualified
personnel, in compliance with current standards
and laws.
