How Does A Tigerloop Work?

by | Last updated on January 24, 2024

, , , ,

Tigerloop® sits between the oil tank and the burner in an oil heating system, so that all oil passes through it. It continuously and

automatically removes air from the oil before passing it to the burner

, so that bubble-free oil is burnt, eliminating poor combustion, noise, damage, soot, and smoke.

How does Tiger loop work?

The Tiger Loop works

by the oil pump in the burner creating suction to the Tiger Loop

. This suction spins the internal disc in the Tiger Loop and this creates suction on the fuel line to the fuel tank.

Should Tigerloop be full?

Current model of Tigerloops (with two chambers, upper and lower):

the lower chamber can be almost empty or completely full

, and this is completely normal. The upper chamber must not contain enough oil to float the upper chamber. In this case, Tigerloop must be replaced.

Do you need to bleed a tiger loop?

All your successful temporary runs are with a positive head to the loop, which points to a fault in the feed to the loop. When priming, I never use the bleed port,

let the tiger loop expel the air through the return

port. If you are still getting air after a short run ( 1-2 mins) then you are pulling air in somewhere.

How does an oil De aerator work?

De-aerator is

used to remove any dissolved oxygen in the feed water

. The oxygen if not removed, may lead to corrosion of the internal parts of the system. Thus a de-aerator completely removes the air and vapour from the system, which helps in reducing the maintenance of the system.

How do you clean a tiger loop?

Cleaning Tiger Loop

I have cleaned them by

removing the loop from the system pouring in kerosene, shake, empty, repeat several times

. If that doesn’t do it, you are likely looking at replacing the Tiger Loop. I wouldn’t try any kind of solvent for fear it would damage the plastic.

Do oil tanks need to be raised?

We recommend your oil tank is

installed outside, above ground within a secondary containment system

. Position your tank to minimise risk of pollution and maximise its security.

Can Tigerloop be fitted inside?

The New Bio Tigerloop is constructed externally of metal materials making it suitable for

both indoor and outdoor installation

.

How high will a tiger loop lift?

– Max lift:

3.66m (12ft) @ 30m (100ft)

distance with a 10mm line. – Remove any non‐return valve in the feed line & fit bypass screw to boiler burner pump. – Max nozzle capacity: 110L/hr. – Max return oil pumped into the Tigerloop

®

120L/hr (at min output of burner).

Can oil tank below boiler?

It should be

no greater than 8mm

. 6mm would be the ideal. If it’s 10mm (or even 15mm) theres your problem – It’s just too hard to suck up the fuel and you get a vacuum in the pipe.

What is a fire valve?

Fusible Fire Safety Valves are

designed to reduce fire damage by shutting off the flow of oil from the oil tank in the event of a fire

. … All valves are embossed with an arrow indicating the direction of oil flow.

What components of the oil burner are responsible for atomizing the oil?

Here’s how today’s oil burners work


The regulating valve

, located in the pump housing, produces the right amount of pressure to atomize or break down the oil. The ignition/transformer produces a high-voltage spark that provides enough heat to vaporize the atomized oil from the nozzle and achieve ignition.

What is oil De aerator?

The Tigerloop completely

removes the gas from the oil

so that the oil going to the burner is 100% pure this is known as deaeration. … The GOK removes the gas from the oil and then fragments this into small particles before feeding this back into the oil at a size that will not interfere with the combustion of the burner.

How do I bleed my oil tank?

What is the purpose of the ignition transformer?

What is the purpose of the ignition transformer?

To provide high voltage to the electrodes that produces the spark for ignition
