Re: [biofuel] Furnace Fine Tuning
With biodiesel it can be a problem that it does not burn out. A smaller nozzle for a shorter flame and if possible higher pressure, could fix it. You will probably get a 20-30% lower heating capacity from your burner, but they are mostly 2-3 times over sized anyway. It will run longer periods with less pollution and that is positive. I Germany they have restrictions now on how many start/stop that can be tolerated, this to control pollution and force a more serious sizing.

[biofuel] Furnace Fine Tuning
Greetings, We have a very competent furnace / boiler technician that is having a difficult time fine tuning the burner for complete combustion. We are burning B100 in the furnace and that is the only fuel that the system has ever seen. Symptoms are as follows: 1)Sometimes it sounds like a mini explosion when the unit fires up 2)There is soot from incomplete combustion 3)There is a slight drip from the suntec pump I would love to be able to say that we burn B100 trouble free. Any pertinent suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
