Auburn Tigerloop Oil De-Aerator

Between the oil tank and Tigerloop®, the heating installation functions as a one-pipe system. However, between the Tigerloop® and the oil pump, it is a two-pipe system. Be sure that the by-pass screw is installed in the pump for two-pipe operation. The Tigerloop® will automatically and continuously remove air from the oil helping the burner to run more efficiently. The Start/Stop function of the burner is improved as no air pocket builds up before the nozzle. Oil is also preheated by the friction in the pump to approximately room temperature, thus eliminating problems associated with cold oil.

The Tigerloop® allows you to place the oil tank below the level of the burner. Air bubbles that are released in the oil due to the vacuum in the system are automatically and continuously removed thanks to the Tigerloop®. By using the Tigerloop® system, only the amount of oil burned in combustion is actually drawn from the tank. This reduces the flow of oil, which saves filter life and preserves oil quality. Also, with no return line to the tank you will reduce installation costs and eliminate the risk for return-line leakage.

An oil pump delivers the same amount of oil irrespective of what is actually needed for combustion. In the case of a normal domestic burner, only approx. 5 % of the delivered oil is
actually burned in combustion. In the case of the traditional two-pipe system, the remaining 95% is transported back to the oil tank. With a Tigerloop® automatic oil de-aerator no oil needs to be transported back to the tank. The oil that is not burned in combustion is lead back to the Tigerloop® where it is de-aerated again and again automatically. For this reason only the amount of oil to be burned in combustion is sucked from the oil tank.

Gas/air bubbles are also released when friction in long oil lines causes a vacuum (negative pressure) to build in the oil line. The more friction, the more bubbles that will be released, causing problems for the oil pump. The result is poor combustion and increased fuel consumption. The Tigerloop® even solves this problem by continually de-aerating the oil.
