| What is a used oil burner?
Used oil burners convert
your community’s used oil into energy to heat buildings.
There are many different brands of used oil burners and
each brand is a little different from the others.
Basic parts to a used oil burner:
Fuel tank - Most brands have a bottom tank used to store the used oil. Some companies sell burners without the tank,so you can use your own (if it is suitable).
Stand – Depending on the brand, used oil burners can be suspended from the ceiling or mounted on a stand (with or without a tank).
Air compressor – Used oil burners may or may not have built-in air compressors. Used oil burners require an air source to operate, so if you don’t have an air compressor, you must buy a burner with an on-board or built-in compressor.
Chimney Stack – A chimney stack vents exhaust to the outside of the building. Most companies will sell chimney stack kits with their used oil burners.
