Advantages of INOV8 Boiler Systems
Boiler Quality - There are numerous boilers available
but few that meet the stringent requirements for burning waste
oils. Cleanability is critical! Though all boilers can be
torn down for cleaning few are designed accommodate the cleaning
process. The Buderus boilers are specifically designed for
ease in cleaning by hinging the front panel that the burner
mounts on. The door swings open to expose the interior parts
for shop vacuuming. A cleaning session takes only a few minutes
and does not require a cold boiler so no heat loss need occur.
Durability is desirable. The Buderus boilers are compactly
designed cast iron section, cast in Europe, the finest quality
in the world. This provides longevity and few warranty claims.
One of the most attractive features is the reparability of
the boiler. If the boiler is frozen from exposure to the outside,
a section can be replaced and the boiler repaired for a fraction
of the cost of replacing the complete boiler. In addition,
Efficiency is important. In this age of conservation energy
awareness it is important to have a boiler with a design that
provides the highest efficiency possible. Efficiency ratings
on their boilers are higher than most oil furnaces, running
between 85% and 88%. Engineering - Through our continued
development work and field experience we have learned that
it is necessary to insulate the waste oil flame until all
the fuel is consumed by fire. Waste oil flames are prone
to having stray amounts of oil depart the flame envelope
and thus accumulate at the cold walls. The walls of a boiler
operate at 170°F or below wherein the flame is extinguished
and the unburned oil accumulates. We retrofit the doors
of the boilers to provide a stainless steel shroud around
the flame to preclude the escape of any unburned oil and
include a stainless steel sleeve within the combustion chamber.
INOV8 has the only control device that provides sequencing
for multiple boiler installations. This unique control was
specifically design by INOV8 to maximize boiler efficiency
by meeting demand loads with a sequence of start and stops.
This device is essential for systems with zoned heating
or multiple boilers in a series.
Qualifications: The INOV8 equipment is listed to
Underwriter's Laboratory Standard 296A (the U.S. waste oil
standard), to Canadian Standard Association, standard B140.4
by Underwriter’s Laboratory of Canada and is listed
with the European Economic Community with a CE registration
number 3884/97. The INOV8 unit was tested while burning
many different waste oils as well as #2 fuel oil and found
to have smoke stack cleanliness equivalent to or better
than a residential type oil burner. Each boiler system is
built in accordance with requirements of the ASME Boiler
& Pressure Vessel Code and listed and certified by both
AGA and CGA. The Buderus Company is recognized as one of
the world leaders in boiler sales, performance and quality
of construction using high quality ductile cast iron.
Flexibility: Flexibility of fuels. Because
of these unique features, the INOV8 system can effectively
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.
Flexibility of applications. INOV8 boiler systems
are being used in a variety of applications including: in-floor
heat, air make-up units, domestic hot water, space heating
in mine shaft, snow melt pads, grain drying furnaces, vehicle
wash bays providing hot water, to provide heat and hot water
in a restaurant, and providing hot water for showers at
a truck stop. INOV8 engineers have the capability of assisting
in the system design to maximize potential for unique applications
and for system payback
Safety: The Fireye Control is rated for industrial
application. This industrial control performs self-diagnostics
upon start-up, continuously through operation, and during
any shutdown to guarantee safety and performance. INOV8
was the first and remains the only waste oil manufacturer
to recognize the importance of using an industrial-rated
control system using the ultra-violet flame monitoring.
The ultra-violet sensor, an integral component of the Fireye
Industrial control, constantly monitors the activity in
the combustion chamber and will recognize an improper flame
and shut off the oil supply within four seconds. The UV
sensor will respond to the light of a match at a distance
of six feet in open sunlight. Cadmium cell control cannot
offer this safety feature. The Fireye Industrial Control
in conjunction with the UV sensor will not allow a positive
draft carrying flue gases into occupied spaces. It will
shut the unit down requiring a correction of the draft problem
before continued operation. In addition to the burner safety
controls each boiler comes with load valves, a draft inducer,
a safety relief valve, and necessary gauges.
