What To Think About When Selecting A Location For Your Waste Oil Furnace
After you’ve done the math and have confirmed that converting to waste oil heat will make a positive difference on your business’s bottom line, it’s time to start thinking about where you should place your waste oil furnace and other system components at your facility. Every building presents its own logistical opportunities and issues, so it’s important to give this careful consideration.
In deciding where to place your waste oil heater, determine a location that will:
- Not be in the way of shop personnel or other equipment.
- Ensure the warm air will be evenly distributed.
- Meet the clearance to combustible material requirements.
- Offer safe accessibility for maintenance and service.
- Comply with all local codes and regulations.
- You also need to decide where to install your chimney, ductwork, and oil tank.
Several variables specific to your facility will determine where the chimney must be placed. Consult local building codes to see what requirements they have for where the chimney should go and what type of chimney you need to use.
Depending on where you want heat delivered within your facility, you may need to run ductwork to reach certain areas. That requires some degree of planning to ensure you’re using your furnace to its full potential.
