A Kroll KG/UB waste or multi oil burner from Flexiheat UK is a great way to significantly reduce your heating costs. With its ability to burn almost any used oils from waste engine oils and hydraulic oils to used vegetables oils and Bio Diesel.  In fact, our range of waste/multi oil burners are so universal that they can also burn 100% rapeseed oil and heating oils. Because of these wonderful advantages, more and more people are looking to replace their existing oil burner with one of our KG/UB  waste / multi oil  burners.

Also, these burners are open to atmosphere and not a “sealed burner”– so aren’t suitable for being inside a property , as they will give off an “oil smell” – they should be used in an out house or out building as such.

Below, we have set out a variety of questions which should help you decide if a waste / multi oil burner is suitable to fit and work for your existing boiler.

1. Will the KG/UB waste / mutli oil burner fit onto my existing boiler?

Please check the dimensions, especially the dimensions of the “holes of the burner plate” and the “dimension of the burner tube”. If these dimensions correspond to the dimensions of the burner’s flame tube, the burner flange can be connected.

Please check the below paying particular detail to dimensions “E” and “G”. If the burner tube will fit and you can pick up the burner mountings (G) which have a range due to the slotted burner mounting flange

3.Construction of your boilers combustion chamber;-

We have developed and patented our “ZVP” burner tube. This acts like another combustion chamber, within a combustion chamber, ensuring higher efficiency, better combustion, lower flue gas temperatures and longer maintenance periods.

The ZVP burner tube ,which is attached directly to the burner comes with a ceramic mat for combustion chambers with convex rear as standard or a 500mm x 500mm ceramic fiber board for combustion chambers with a vertical rear panel

4. The Kroll waste/multi oil burners range require a compressed air supply.

This is neither a large amount of air (cfm) nor a high pressure (1.5 Bar Maximum). We  produce a whisper quiet compressor, which is extremely quiet and compact (roughly the size of a briefcase), this compressor is controlled by the burner, and is only in use when the burner has a demand. You can utilise your own compressor, as long as it meets the requirements of the burner, and you fit a good quality filter, regulator, water trap prior to the burner.
