| equivalent to or better than a residential oil
furnace. Four main categories of INOV8 advantages are 1) CLEAN
BURNING, 2) FLEXIBILITY OF FUELS, 3) LOW OPERATING COSTS,
AND 4) SAFETY.
1 . Clean Burning – The following features
combine to produce nearly complete combustion evidenced
by low stack temperatures, no carbon monoxide molecules,
a low percentage of oxygen and a light powdery ash.
- Oil is preheated to 185° F providing a hotter
flame and complete combustion.
- Filtering the oil before and after it’s
heated prevents nuisance shutdowns.
- Higher oil and air pressures produce a finer oil
mist ensuring better combustion.
- The Patented Needle Valve - seals in the nozzle
opening to prevent oil from flowing into the combustion
chamber during shutdown. It also pushes out any
debris blocking the nozzle and provides for an instant
flame upon startup.
- The Vapor Eliminator - Waste oils contain water
and various gases that will vaporize as the oil
is heated. The flame would be interrupted if these
vapor bubbles passed through the oil nozzle causing
unstable dirty combustion. The INOV8 patented preheat
system extracts vapor from the oil to provide a
stable clean flame.

2. Flexibility of Fuels – Because of these
unique features, the INOV8 system can efficiently consume
crankcase oils, gear box oils (85 – 140 wt), up to
175 wt heat transfer oils, transmission & hydraulic
oils, vegetable and synthetic oils without having to change
oil or air pressure settings. We also have applications
that are burning jet fuels, mineral spirit solvents and
some petroleum-based printing inks. The competition typically
can only burn middleweight lubricating oils.
| 3. Low Operating Costs –
Due to our superior engineering and workmanship there
is a very low incidence of warranty claims and repair
costs. We strive to keep operating costs low, for example
there is no requirement for annual repairs or replacement
of parts. The burner has been designed so that most
repairs can be done on-site by the owner. Our furnaces
and boilers have convenient access doors to allow for
vacuuming of the ash leftover from burning lubricating
oils. All components are easily changed out and don’t
require the |
replacement of a module or group of parts because of the failure of one component.
The INOV8 Instruction Manual includes details for a successful
installation, for normal operation, routine maintenance, and
step-by-step troubleshooting instructions. In the event you
do need assistance our technical support is the finest in
the business. All parts are stocked and available for overnight
delivery if needed to keep downtime to a minimum.
| 4. Safety - The
Fireye Control provides the brains for the INOV8 burner.
Safety is our highest priority and is the reason we
use the only industrial rated electronic burner control
in the industry with a UV sensor, pre-purge, pre-heat,
and auto-restart ignition plus safety lockout. Competitors
use a control intended for residential furnaces that
burn a clean and reliable fuel oil that has a flash
point of 100°F. Waste oil has flash points ranging
from 290°F to over 500°F and is anything but
clean and reliable. In addition, |
- The Ultra-violet (UV) Sensor monitors the flame in the
combustion chamber and will recognize an improper flame
caused by after-burn and shut off the oil supply within
4 seconds. Competitors use a cadmium sensor that isn't
capable of differentiating between a normal flame and
improper flame and will continue to deliver oil in either
case. Also, if ignition fails during startup oil will
be delivered for up to 45 seconds causing dirty combustion,
smoky after-burn and the unsafe accumulation of fumes.
- The Ultra-violet sensor will not allow a positive draft
to carry flue gases back into your building. The UV sensor
cannot see through fumes caused by a backdraft and will
shut the burner down requiring a correction of the draft
problem before continued operation.
