Oil Heat
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| atomization | process of breaking the fuel oil up into a fine mist, which facilitates combustion |
| cad cell | cadmium sulfide device that changes its resistance as the amount of light it senses changes |
| de-aerator | oil system accessory that facilitates the removal of air from the oil before it passes into the fuel pump |
| electrode assembly | portion of the oil burner comprised of the electrodes, electrode clamp, and ceramic insulators |
| electrode clamp | strap that holds the electrodes in place |
| electrodes | component part of the oil burner that generates the spark needed for ignition |
| flame retention burner | type of oil burner that concentrates the air flow pattern to create a better fuel/air mixture at the time of combustion |
| fuel pump | component part of an oil burner that is responsible for feeding pressurized oil through the nozzle |
| ignition transformer | step-up transformer that provides a secondary voltage of approximately 10,000 Volts to vaporize and ignite the fuel |
| nozzle | component part of an oil burner that atomizes, meters, and sprays the oil into the combustion area |
| nozzle adapter | pipe fitting that connects the nozzle to the nozzle line |
| nozzle assembly | unit comprised of the nozzle line, nozzle adapter, nozzle, and electrodes |
| nozzle line | section of tubing that connects the outlet of the pump to the nozzle adapter |
| nozzle tube | section of tubing that connects the outlet of the pump to the nozzle adapter |
