Abstract
A safety device for an oil burner includes a pump which has a drive cylinder portion with a double-acting piston movable therein which is connected through a connecting rod to a suction piston portion which is movable in a suction portion of the pump cylinder. The oil burner is supplied with fuel oil from a supply line having a shutoff valve or valves which are connected through a suction line to the suction part of the piston. The suction portion is connected through a check valve to a return line and the drive cylinder is connected on respective opposite sides of the piston through valve means for regulating the movement of the drive piston so that it moves after the burner is turned off to displace the suction piston to effect a suction on the supply line to the oil lance of the burner so as to withdraw the oil therefrom.
Claims5
A safety device for an oil burner having an oil lance, comprising, a fuel oil supply line connected to said oil lance, a fuel oil shutoff valve in said supply line, a pump comprising a pump housing having a drive cylinder space, a suction piston space, a double-acting drive piston movable in said drive cylinder space, a suction piston movable in said suction piston space, a piston rod connected to said drive piston and suction piston having at least a portion disposed therebetween, a suction line extending between said suction space and said shutoff valve in said supply line and control means connected between said burner lance and said fuel oil shutoff valve in said supply line and connected between said pump and said burner lance to move said drive piston to cause movement of said suction piston and withdrawal of the oil through said supply line from said burner lance when said burner is shut off.
