Installation:
The heating oil filter with deaerator is to be installed at a suitable
location with the help of the enclosed fixing plate. To mount the
“Toc-Duo-3” on the burner wall, metal screws are included in the
delivery. Care must be taken that the max. ambient temperature
does not exceed 60 °C, i.e. do not mount the “Toc-Duo-3” near
an un-insulated part of the boiler or the exhaust pipe or above
flaps of the heating which can be opened.
The heating oil filter with deaerator is to be installed vertically.
It can be installed above or below the oil level.
For maintenance and monitoring, the “Toc-Duo-3” is to be installed
in a prominent position which is easily accessible.
When converting two pipe systems to one pipe operation, the pipe
dimension has to be reduced if required, see “Sizing of the suction
pipe”.
The supply and return connection must not be mixed up as this
may cause damage to the “Toc-Duo-3” and the burner pump.

Note:
For technical reasons, deaerators filled with oil must not be
inclined too heavily or be laid down. Please drain off the oil first.

Note:
Do not use detergents containing alcohol or solvents as these may
damage the plastic parts.
Sizing of the suction pipe:
The suction pipe towards the tank should be sized in such a way
that the velocity of the heating oil during burner operation is
between 0.2 and 0.5 m/s (DIN 4755). This is especially valid for
pipe sections leading downwards. If the suction pipes are
oversized, velocity is reduced in such a way that the gas
emissions are not transported constantly and gather as big air Burner
bubbles in upper pipe sections. If a big air bubble reaches the “Toc-Duo-3”
burner pump, it may cause a malfunction.
For small burner units in detached and semi-detached houses,
the inner pipe dimension of 4 mm (e.g. pipe 6 x 1) is often
sufficient. Apart from the velocity, the flow resistance and the
suction height have to be taken into consideration.

Velocity of the heating oil during operation Formation of oil froth and possible malfunctions:
according to DIN 4755: Oil froth may develop if large quantities of air are delivered via the
0.2 up to 0.5 m/s burner pump together with the heating oil. These may lead to
malfunctions of the burner.
