9.1 Use of bio fuel blends
The burner is suitable for light oil with a biofuel content of up to 10%. It is a minimum requirement
that the fuel blend (up to 10% Biofuel) is obtained with light oil in accordance with the relevant
standards, regional regulations and FAME in accordance with EN 14214.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In the event that the burner needs to be used with fuels containing biofuel percentages higher
than 10%, contact the manufacturer.
9.2 Important advice for the use of bio fuel blends
9.2.1 Introduction
The growing attention focussed on renewable and sustainable energy sources would suggest an
ever-increasing use of biofuels.
If you plan to make use of these fuels, you need to consider several technical aspects in order to
reduce the potential for faults in the burner and heating system and the risk of fuel leaks.
The term ‘liquid Biofuel’ is a broad denition that includes oils made from numerous different
raw materials, including recycled cooking oil. These types of oil must be considered and treated
differently from common mineral and fossil fuels. This is because they are more acidic, hygroscopic
and less stable.
Particular care should be taken in the storage of this fuel, in the supply pipe, in the ancillary
equipment, in the ltration and in the choice of burner.
The classication of the biofuel is important for the smooth operation of the equipment.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The proprietor or the system manager is responsible for the detailed analysis of potential risks
associated with the introduction of a mixture of biofuels and the suitability of the devices and
installation.
9.2.2 General instructions and information
The supplier of the fuel must demonstrate compliance with an accredited quality management
system for their storage, mixing and delivery processes.
During installation, make sure that all the materials and sealing devices used on the storage tank
and oil delivery pipe to the burner are compatible with biofuels.
The tank must have a good quality biofuel-compatible oil lter and a
60 micron
secondary lter to
protect the burner from contaminants.
