What is the purpose of the oil delay valve?
The oil delay valve, operated by an electrical solenoid switch, closes to immediately stop the flow of oil to the oil burner assembly the second that electrical power to the oil burner is shut off.
Should a solenoid valve get hot?
General, a slight heating is a normal phenomenon for the solenoid valve. Please don’t worry only if the temperature doesn’t exceed a specific value. Secondly, wrong selection for two kinds of normally open and normally closed solenoid valves may also cause the solenoid valve heating.
What causes solenoid to fail?
Solenoid coil failure can be caused by a number of factors. Applying an incorrect voltage to the coil will cause it to fail and may cause the coil to burn out. Electrical surges or spikes may also damage the coil. Sediment or other particles entering the valve may cause coil failure.
What does the solenoid do on an oil burner?
A solenoid valve can enable the burner to be used with pre-purge or post-purge control systems. It blocks the flow of oil to the nozzle until the purge period is complete. A delayed solenoid valve can perform a valve-on delay (pre-purge) function.
What causes a solenoid to fail?
Do you need oil delay solenoid valves for Beckett oil burner?
Our photo (left) shows a new oil burner fuel unit installed on our older Beckett oil burner. It’s worth reading the label on the fuel unit – it warns Use Only with Valve on Delay.
What are the advantages of the Beckett cleancut fuel unit?
This technical bulletin discusses the advantages of the CleanCut fuel unit and provides important technical information. Instead of the traditional cone valve and diaphragm used in older fuel units, the Beckett CleanCut fuel unit uses a solenoid valve to control oil flow.
What can a solenoid valve do for a burner?
A solenoid valve can enable the burner to be used with pre-purge or post-purge control systems. It blocks the flow of oil to the nozzle until the purge period is complete. A delayed solenoid valve can perform a valve-on delay (pre-purge) function. However, it is temperature sensitive.
Who is the manufacturer of the Beckett cleancut oil pump?
The new Beckett CleanCut Pump–developed as a joint effort with Suntec Industries–combines the ‘clean burning’ benefits of a solenoid valve with the hefty lift capabilities of traditional American pumps.

How does quick acting solenoid in Beckett cleancut work?
See Figure B. The quick acting solenoid virtually eliminates smoke at shutdown by allowing the burner air flow to complete combustion of any residual oil vapors in the combustion area before the motor coasts to a stop.
