If you have been putting off the pur-
chase OF an oil burner in hopes that
there will be improvements made be-
fore you invest your hard earned dol
lars, you will find that the late model
burners are pretty nearly perfect. The
various parts of the different burners
have been subject to tests and resulting
changes in design over period Of
years now, and you can be quite sure
that you are getting well-engineered
product in the majority OF the stand
ard makes.
A number of Improvements are also
being offered on a number of burners
which will add to the operating eff
cheney of your plant. One new fea-
ture which even the layman can see
will benefit his oil bill and pocket
book is the device which automatically
closes of the opening through which
air is sucked by the burner-after the
burner is shut off. In the past, when
burner shut of, the boiler tended to
pull cold air through this opening,
which resulted in chilling effect.
This chill, which was impaired to the
interior of the heater, had to be offset
by another blast of heat from the
burner long before it should have
been necessary for the equipment to
start again. Now it is shut off by
an ingenious shutter somewhat like a
camera diaphragm and all the heat is
trapped inside where it will do the
most good.
