Advantages of INOV8 Boiler Systems

Engineering - Through our continued development work and field experience we have learned that it is necessary to insulate the waste oil flame until all the fuel is consumed by fire. Waste oil flames are prone to having stray amounts of oil depart the flame envelope and thus accumulate at the cold walls. The walls of a boiler operate at 170°F or below wherein the flame is extinguished and the unburned oil accumulates. We retrofit the doors of the boilers to provide a stainless steel shroud around the flame to preclude the escape of any unburned oil and include a stainless steel sleeve within the combustion chamber. INOV8 has the only control device that provides sequencing for multiple boiler installations. This unique control was specifically design by INOV8 to maximize boiler efficiency by meeting demand loads with a sequence of start and stops. This device is essential for systems with zoned heating or multiple boilers in a series.

Qualifications: The INOV8 equipment is listed to Underwriter's Laboratory Standard 296A (the U.S. waste oil standard), to Canadian Standard Association, standard B140.4 by Underwriter’s Laboratory of Canada and is listed with the European Economic Community with a CE registration number 3884/97. The INOV8 unit was tested while burning many different waste oils, as well as #2 fuel oil, and found to have smoke stack cleanliness equivalent to or better than a residential type oil burner. Each boiler system is built in accordance with requirements of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code and listed and certified by both AGA and CGA. The Buderus Company is recognized as one of the world leaders in boiler sales, performance and quality of construction using high quality ductile cast iron.

Flexibility: Flexibility of fuels. Because of these unique features, the INOV8 system can effectively consume crankcase oils, gear box oils, up to 175 wt heat transfer oils, transmission & hydraulic oils, vegetable and synthetic oils without having to change oil or air pressure settings. We also have applications that are burning jet fuels, mineral spirit solvents and some petroleum-based printing inks. Flexibility of applications. INOV8 boiler systems are being used in a variety of applications including: in-floor heat, air make-up units, domestic hot water, space heating in mine shaft, snow melt pads, grain drying furnaces, vehicle wash bays providing hot water, to provide heat and hot water in a restaurant, and providing hot water for showers at a truck stop. INOV8 engineers have the capability of assisting in the system design to maximize potential for unique applications and for system payback

Safety: The Fireye Control is rated for industrial application. This industrial control performs self-diagnostics upon start-up, continuously through operation, and during any shutdown to guarantee safety & performance. INOV8 was the first and remains the only waste oil manufacturer to recognize the importance of using an industrial-rated control system using the ultra-violet flame monitoring. The ultra-violet sensor, an integral component of the Fireye Industrial control, constantly monitors the activity in the combustion chamber and will recognize an improper flame and shut off the oil supply within four seconds. The UV sensor will respond to the light of a match at a distance of six feet in open sunlight. Cadmium cell control cannot offer this safety feature. The Fireye Industrial Control in conjunction with the UV sensor will not allow a positive draft carrying flue gases into occupied spaces. It will shut the unit down requiring a correction of the draft problem before continued operation. In addition to the burner safety controls each boiler comes with load valves, a draft inducer, a safety relief valve, and necessary gauges.
