When should I change my oil burner nozzle?
Prepare to change your oil burner nozzle annually. However, some units will require more maintenance than others. Several factors will affect the lifespan of your nozzle. If your burner is new, kept clean, and has regularly changed filters, your nozzle could last longer than a year.
Why is my oil boiler so loud?
Shut-down oil burner rumbling noises are usually traced to air leaks into the oil piping system (expanding air as oil pressure falls pushes more air out of the nozzle for incomplete combustion), improper electrode settings, or a defective fuel unit (oil pump) that doesn’t shut off cleanly.
Why is my boiler so noisy at night?
Boiler noises can be caused by low water pressure, the air in your system, mineral deposits, and problems with your water temperature. Before you go any further, make sure you have a good idea of the cause of the noise and what needs to be fixed.
Why is it important to have the correct spacing when setting the electrodes?
The turbulator improves the oil dispersion in the combustion chamber. Watch out: if you set the turbulator too close to the electrodes an elecrical arc between electrodes and turbulator will short the system and prevent proper ignition.

How to choose the nozzle for an oil burner?
Nozzle selections and burner settings 1. See Table 1 for recommended oil nozzle selections and initial burner settings. Follow Burner Manual and Boiler Manual for installation of nozzle if not supplied with boiler/burner. 2.
What are the electrode settings for an AF / AG oil burner?
Illustration: oil burner electrode settings for the Beckett AF / AG oil burner series, adapted from the AF/AG manual cited below. Watch out: check the electrode settings specified by your specific oil burner as those shown here will often be different.
What kind of nozzle does a Hago oil burner use?
Hago Oil Burner Nozzle Descriptions. Black: B – SOLID CONE – BLACK CAPS Designed to give optimum combustion efficiency on high static pressure flame retention burners which specify a “B” pattern. As compared to the “ES” pattern, somewhat more fuel is concentrated towards the center of the spray.
Nozzle selections and burner settings 1. See Table 1 for recommended oil nozzle selections and initial burner settings. Follow Burner Manual and Boiler Manual for installation of nozzle if not supplied with boiler/burner. 2.
Where are the spark electrodes on an oil boiler?
The Spark electrodes have to be set at 2.5 mm away from the nozzle. I assume this is so that the spark between the electrodes ignites the fuel. Therefore if I remove the electrodes at the mounting and still have electrodes attached to cables I can then check for oil at nozzle in place and spark at electrodes away from the nozzle.
