Study to evaluate the effect of performing various energy saving procedures on residential oil burner installations in the New England area and to gather information on the steady-state and dynamic performance of these installations

A study was performed to determine the effect of yearly tune-ups on the steady-state efficiency of residential oil burners. Data were obtained from 429 oil burners in New England homes. The results showed a 2.6% improvement in efficiency after tune-up; this improvement was still found 3 months after...

Description
Summary:A study was performed to determine the effect of yearly tune-ups on the steady-state efficiency of residential oil burners. Data were obtained from 429 oil burners in New England homes. The results showed a 2.6% improvement in efficiency after tune-up; this improvement was still found 3 months after the tune-up; and further energy conservation could be effected through over-sized burner nozzle size reduction and optimization.
