A. Fuel Oil header The Fuel Oil header should be a standing up relatively large pipe with a deaeration pipe to a higher level than the fuel oil service tanks; some times it's connected to the top of the diesel oil service tank. B. Fuel Oil filters Clean the Fuel Oil filter frequently. If the filters are clogged the fuel oil might vaporize in the pump and cause damage. A differential pressure meter across the filter would be a good help to have the filters cleaned in time. C. Shut off valves Shut off valves for cleaning of the filters. The valves should normally be open. D. Fuel Oil pumps Each pump should have sufficient capacity to run both boilers on maximum load. Normally one pump is running and the other is standing-by. The stand-by pump should start upon low pressure in the process line rather than being started upon a pump motor failure. E. Shut off non return valves These valves have to be non-return type, or a shut off valve and a non-return valve. The valves should always be open on both pumps, so the stand-by pump can start automatically. F. Fuel Oil heater The fuel oil heater is a heat exchanger that must have a safety relief valve. Always install a safety relief valve if a fuel oil volume can be shut up and heated. G. Burners
