[...] dispositif que l'on installe entre le gicleur du brûleur et la pompe d'alimentation en mazout.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
CONT

The low pressure gun burner is similar but differs from the high pressure gun burner in two ways. First, the burner includes an air pump to supply compressed air for atomization and second, the oil and air are delivered to the nozzle at pressures of 15 psi or less.

OBS

low-pressure atomizing burner; low-pressure fuel oil burner; low-pressure oil burner; low-pressure burner: dénominations qui reflètent le classement selon la méthode de préparation du combustible liquide pour la combustion (pulvérisation) et non selon le "design" du brûleur (gun type).

Subject field(s)
  • Control Instrumentation (Mechanical Components)
  • Heating
CONT

When the boiler is used for both space heating and the supply of domestic hot water, the room thermostat controls the burner and the pump through a relay. The high-limit control operates in the same way for both systems. When space heating is not required, the room thermostat shuts off the pump and the burner. A low-limit control in the boiler turns the burner on and off to maintain the temperature of water in the boiler for domestic hot-water use.
