If you own a waste oil boiler, it's essential to know how to maintain it properly. Let's explore the importance of regular maintenance and provide you with essential tips to keep your waste oil boiler running smoothly and safely.
The Benefits of Waste Oil Boilers & How to Maintain Them
One of the biggest benefits of waste oil boilers is their versatility. These heating systems can burn a variety of fuels, including used motor oil, used hydraulic oil, and even regular fuels like #2, #4, and #5. This means that businesses can recycle multiple types of waste oil to reduce their environmental impact and save money in the process. In fact, the EPA has recognized Clean Burn equipment as a preferred method of recycling used motor oils.
Used oil boilers are also very efficient. These systems have a high heat output of 200,000+ BTU/hour (depending on the system) and can heat small to large spaces quickly and effectively. This allows businesses to save money on heating costs and reduce their carbon footprint by using a more sustainable energy source.
To top it all off, these boilers come with low maintenance requirements. They are designed to be easy to use and require minimal upkeep, making them a convenient and hassle-free solution for your waste oil needs. Overall, used oil boilers are a win-win solution for businesses that want to reduce their environmental impact and save money on heating costs.
The Importance of Regular Cleaning and Inspection
While these efficient boilers are generally very low maintenance, it is still crucial to maintain them properly to maintain optimal functioning and keep your business and employees safe.
Over time, waste oil boilers can accumulate debris, soot, and other contaminants that hinder their performance. Regular cleaning helps remove these buildups and prevent them from causing blockages or damage to the system.
A standard used oil boiler system typically requires cleaning for every 400 hours of operation and it may take upwards of two hours to get your boiler back into working condition. However, with a Clean Burn waste oil boiler, you can use your boiler for 750 to 1000 hours before needing to clean it. Cleaning the CB system only takes you about a half-hour, thanks to the swing-away burner and door that offers you easy access to the machinery.
