Fittings for oil
Weishaupt oil circulation tank
1. General information
The oil circulation tank is a packaged unit
offering oil metering for burners, in particular
those having spill type nozzles.
The oil circulation tank contains a shut off
valve, an oil filter, an oil meter and a safety
valve. The connection of an oil additive mixing
unit is possible.
The oil meters used have a measurement
tolerance of 1% from the measurement
value and an accuracy of 2% within the
minimum and maximum throughputs given in
the table to the right.
2. Description
The oil circulation tank consists of two
completely separated chambers, which are
connected by the ball valve, the filter and the
oil meter. Therefore only the oil actually used
by the burner is metered.
The safety valve fitted relieves any excess
pressure caused due to temperature increase
during burner shut down when the ball valve is
closed.
Venting is extremely important for the reliable
operation of the oil circulation tank. Venting is
carried out via ball valve.
This ball valve has to be opened until the
system has been vented following first
commissioning, after every service, or when
exchanging oil hoses and nozzles and when
disturbing the oil lines etc.
Please note that venting should be activated
when the burner is shut down (burner pump)
and relative to the oil supply pressure
available.
When first venting a new oil supply or after
it has been re-filled, the ball valve should
initially be fully closed. The oil ring main
and the lines branching off to the oil
circulation tank, as well as the lower
chamber of the oil circulation tank must
first be filled with oil and the ring main
pumps must be operating for a few
minutes, so that the oil is free from

The second oil meter in the return, as well as
the safety valve to bypass the oil meter in the
return are no longer required.
Previously, two oil meters one in the burner
flow and one in the return, were needed to
calculate the actual consumption using the
difference between the two.
The oil circulation device considerably reduces
installation work.
The oil meter is not approved for precise oil
throughput calculations.
The pipe connections for burner and ring main
are dimensioned for residual oil. The additional
pipe layout is carried out to the dimensions
given in work sheets (6-2.1 to 6.2.4).
bubbles prior to starting the venting
process at the ball valve. Initial venting
should be carried out as described in the
installation instructions given in point d (oil
meter installation and removal).
To protect the oil meter after draining, carry
on as follows:
The ball valve should only opened a
fraction, so that the oil under pressure
slowly fills the filter, oil meter and the
upper chamber of the oil circulation tank,
as well as the lines to the burner pump.
Rapid filling will damage the measuring
accuracy of the oil meter. Only open the
ball valve fully once the venting process
has been completed.
The oil/air mixture exiting at the ball valve
(during the venting process) flows through the
oil meter and is indicated. This measured
quantity is not an actual burner consumption.
Venting should also be carried out, if air has
accumulated in the circulation chamber
following prolonged operation. A sure sign of
this are irregular noises from the burner oil
pump.
The oil circulation tank must only be operated
with a pressurised supply. The supply pres-
sure for oil EL should be a minimum of1.5 bar.
For fuel oil M and S the pressure
depends on the oil preheat temperature set
(see table).
For fuel oil EL the pipe connections at the unit
can be reduced by the installer, i.e. by using
reducers. For fuel oil S however, it could be
the opposite and in some cases, they may
need to be increased in diameter.
The oil circulation tanks oil pipe connections
are plain ends, suitable for either welding or
other numerous fitting possibilities, employing
screwed or flanged components.
Pressure setting ring main
The pressure is set at the pressure regulating
valve in the ring main. Pressure is shown
on the pressure gauge at the intake of the
burner pump. (Measurement only during
burner operation at full load).

For supply systems with multiple burners the
connection line should be fitted with a
restrictor valve for equalisation (only with
M+S).
Filter maintenance
By manually rotating the spindle and therefore
the filter bundle (depending on degree of
soiling in the fuel oil) any debris is removed
from the filtering edges.
The debris falls to the base of the housing.
This can be removed periodically by removing
the drainage plug.
