EXTRACTIONS FROM THE BUILDING CODE OF NEW YORK
BUILDING CODE OF NEW YORK SUBCHAPTER 14
HEATING AND COMBUSTION EQUIPMENT
General requirements. All heating, combustion, and cooking equipment shall be installed with adequate clearances from combustible construction. Either the equipment shall be provided with insulation or the building construction shall be fire protected, so that during operation the surface of combustible construction materials will not be raised to a temperature higher than 170˚ Fahrenheit. Equipment shall be so that the means of access for ordinary operation and maintenance will not be hazardous.
Inspections and tests. (a) Acceptance tests. Boilers shall not be placed in operation upon completion of construction until they have been inspected and tested and an equipment use permit has been issued by the commissioner. (b) Periodic boiler inspections. All boilers shall be inspected at least once a year including chimney connections. (c) Owners annual statement. The owner of each boiler that is subject to periodic inspections shall file an annual written statement with the commissioner, specifying the location of each boiler and arrangement for inspection.
Fuel burning and fuel storage installations. (a) Field Tests. (1) All liquid fuel piping and fuel oil storage tanks shall be hydrostatically tested for tightness by the contractor who made the installation before the work is closed in and before the system is operated. The piping shall be tested at one- half times the maximum working pressure applicable to that part of the piping system but at a pressure less than the test pressure required for the storage tank. The minimum pressure for testing tanks shall be one and

The use of crankcase refuse oil as fuel oil is prohibited. Piping. Installation of piping and tubing. Overflow pipes, where installed, shall not be smaller in size than the supply pipe. Where a
A remote control shall be provided to stop the flow of oil to any burner. Such control shall be located outside the entrance to the room in which the burner is located and as close to such entrance as practicable, except that when an outside location is impracticable, such control may be located immediately inside the room in which the burner is located, provided such location is accessible at all times. All such controls shall be permanently labeled “remote control for oil burner.” On storage tanks of sixty gallon or less capacity used with manually operated burners, such remote control may be installed in the supply lines between tank and burner. Pressure in a storage tank for the purpose of discharging oil shall be prohibited.

Controls. With each automatic burner a set of safety controls of electric, pneumatic, hydraulic or mechanical type shall be installed and maintained in good working order. The controls shall provide the following functions: (a) oil temperature control (no. 5 and no. 6 oil). (b) Ignition. (c) Stack or combustion control. (d) High temperature or pressure control.
Chimneys. No oil burner shall be installed unless it is connected to a chimney.
OVERVIEW OF LOW PSI OIL BURNER OPERATION AND CONTROLS Oil Circulation in The System
The following material provides an overview description of the process of oil circulation in the burner system. When reading the following, refer to DIAGRAM 1, the Oil Circulating Diagram on the following page.
The oil storage tank provides the supply of oil for combustion in the oil burner. In its normal condition, no. 6 fuel oil is very thick and heavy and is not easily pumped through the circulation system. For this reason the oil in the storage tank is heated. The temperature in the storage tank is usually maintained between 100˚and 130˚ Fahrenheit.
A suction cup circulates the oil throughout the system. Dirt and sediment are present in the fuel oil coming from the oil storage tank. The oil strainer removes most of these contaminants from the oil before the oil reaches the burner. The vacuum gauge is a device that measures pressure below atmospheric pressure. Excessive vacuum readings indicate that there is an obstruction in the suction line (such as dirty oil strainer). When this occurs the flow of oil can be stopped by closing the shut- off valve. This permits the operator to clean the strainer or to perform other maintenance.
Preheaters are used to heat the oil further before the oil enters the burner for combustion. The oil is heated to between 160˚ and 180˚ Fahrenheit. Preheating makes it easier to pump the oil and also makes it easier to atomize the oil. The oil is metered into the burner where it is atomized by the spinner or atomizer cup. The atomized oil and air are mixed in the combustion chamber and burned.

|
The main fuel valve is electrically operated and will open or close the line leading to the atomizer of the oil burner. It will shut down the burner system if there is a failure of ignition or combustion.
Oil circulates through the system back to the storage tank through the oil return line. The normal oil pressure for no. 6 oil burners is between 30 and 50 psi. A back pressure relief valve is provided for safety if the pressure becomes too great. Additional heaters may be present in the return line to ensure that the oil is maintained at the proper temperature for easy circulation in the system.
