Vulcan oil heater service manual

If your heating boiler pressure really is over 30 PSI and your relief valve is not opening, then the heating system is unsafe. We need more information: you need to be more clear with me about what pressure or "psi" we're actually discussing.

Where are you reading "high psi"? If your boiler pressure were really over 30 psi, I don't think it would have been possible to replace a relief valve and an expansion tank without water pouring out at the connections for those devices. That would have relieved the pressure. So if pressure was relieved in the hot water hydronic heating system boiler, piping, etc. So, what is "High" and where and how are you determining that?

My Beckett boiler psi stuck on high, replaced relief valve, expansion tank, how do I release the psi pressure, furnace does not fire up. It would help me research to try to find manuals for your heater if you would post a photo of the heater and in additional comments photos of any logos or data tags you can find on the equipment.

I'm looking for a universal constant level flow control system for my seigler oil stove. A repair manual would be good.

I can't find part numbers. Try the search box just below, or if you prefer, post a question or comment in the Comments box below and we will respond promptly. Just ask us! But it's more expensive than wood, any kind of wired in heater which are metered separately at a lower rate here in Tas or mains gas.

You'd need to check local prices to compare, but the Vulcan will produce about 7 kWh of heat into the room from a litre of oil. That is equivalent to You'd need to check local fuel prices to compare. Natural gas not LPG is almost certainly cheaper than oil as is a heat pump reverse cycle air conditioner.

For the others it will depend on what you're paying locally since rates vary considerably around the country. Awesome smurf, thanks for all that, but i live in a rented house and i dont think the landlord will like me converting to gas, unless it is as simple as hooking up a gas bottle.

Question: Is it possible to turn 2 into 1. Is it a matter of diluting it with something? My mate runs diesel in his vulcan all the time he works for a wrecker and gets it for free. Thanks China. Does any one know where i can download a manual You learn something every day, don't know why but I always thought they were very expensive to run. I do believe gas is cheaper, but i dont have the luxury of rippen it out and converting it.

Gas may be cheaper, but for the capital cost alone of the removal, gas connection and installation of a new heater, I can run the oil heater for around 10 years I've been using diesel for some time without problems - it burns a little blacker if the air inlet is not kept high. Attached Thumbnails. Only downside to these heaters is the fuel cost. But for moderate use that shouldn't be a problem it would cost a fortune in a cold climate though. Help getting heater apart Can anyone tell me how to get to the starter element on a Vulcan Oil Heater.

Have just bought a house in Southern Tasmania that has one installed but it doesn't work properly and someone suggested it may be the element but I've tried taking the thing apart but still can't find the element.

Thanks in advance. In what way is it not working properly? Hi smurf, The Red Light does not go out after the expected time, and the heater only seems to get to a very low temperature. I obtained starting instructions from Jacksons in Hobart and have followed them to the letter. It was suggested to me that perhaps the "starter" element was not working. I went to the Tas Appliance store who said there were two different elements and I would need to take the old one out to determine which one I needed.

Thanks for responding, hope the extra info is useful. A few questions just trying to work out what's wrong First thing I'd do is make sure the air is adjusted properly - if that's wrong then you certainly won't get much heat out of it.

Does your heater have a manual air adjustment knob? I've only used these, never repaired one, so can't really comment on the element issue. But if the oil is burning then the element must be getting hot since that's what starts the oil burning. Does the light go out eventually? What colour are the flames and is it burning evenly? Normally should be blue with just a slight yellow tip to the flame.

And it should be burning steadily, quietly and evenly with no gaps in the flame and no "flare ups". Evaluations of Vulcan Oil Heating Service:. To evaluate this company please Login or Register.
