TM 5-3895-374-24-2 Figure 11 Oil Pump Details The    oil    pumps    depicted    in    this    section    represent    the    most commonly used models,  For models not depicted, such as the Suntec Model J or H, refer to the pump manufacturer’s bulletin that is supplied with the burner. Figure 12 Multiple Burner System Oil Piping Schematic (Flooded Suction) Combustion Air Requirements Fresh  air  required  to  support  combustion,  as  well  as  to  provide adequate location  ventilation,  must  be  supplied.    All  types  of  fuel require approximately 10 cubic feet of standard air (sea level at 60 F.)  per  1000  BTUs  firing  rate,  for  theoretical  perfect  combustion. In  actual  practice,  a  certain  amount  of  excess  air  is  required  to ensure  complete  combustion,  but  this  can  vary  substantially  with specific job conditions.  Additional air is lost from the boiler room through barometric dampers, draft diverters and similar venting devices.  It is generally accepted that 1/2 square inch of free air opening (for each gas or oil burner in the room)  per  1000  BTU/hr.  firing  rate  will  be  adequate.    Under  no circumstances  should  a  boiler  room  be  under  negative  pressure. Jurisdictional  authority  relating  to  combustion  air  and  boiler  room ventilation  requirements  vary  widely.  In  order  to  make  certain  of compliance, the controlling authorities should be consulted. Burner Mounting - General A   properly   installed   and   adjusted   burner   is   the   lowest   cost maintenance insurance you can buy. Provisions should be made to provide adequate space around the burner and associated equipment to  allow  for  ease  of  inspection, maintenance and service. Observe   codes   for   the   minimum   clearances   to   combustible materials. Provide a suitable burner front plate, consisting of a steel plate of ample  thickness  to  support  the  weight  of  the  burner  and  hold  it firmly in alignment with the heat (page 3 - 963)
