Ampro Waste Oil Heater AP-WOH250-A The Heat Exchanger Design. Ampro engineers are light years ahead of the competition. The combustion chamber and target (deflection plate) of these waste oil heaters are manufactured using an unheard of 10 gauge stainless steel, the thickest on the market. It utilizes a three (3) phase (aka triple pass) temperature collection system for maximum heat transfer. The efficiency rating of the waste oil burner used in this system is at a staggering 91% while industry standards are at just 80%. The Air Handler. A Baldor industrial grade motor, able to be wired for 230v or 115v, has the power to drive the oversized, maximum efficiency squirrel cage blower, allowing conversation at normal volume again. The system is protected and controlled by a SquareD circuit breaker. The fail safe circuitry with selectable automatic and manual over ride is a dependable Honeywell control for the auto shutdown and cool down process.

The Burner. It is the burner which the heart and soul of the waste oil heater. What can you say about a masterpiece? We have mixed the old with the new when it comes to the superb design of this waste oil burner. No longer is there any need for a pump to push the fuel to the nozzles. In it's place is the tried and true venturi system. With this system, the fuel oil will be drawn up into the dual pick-up tubes as well as the nozzles, and once the desired temperature is achieved, the system shuts down and all fuel oil is returned to the on-board holding tank. No need for the old fashioned oil heater block as the on-board holding tank includes a pre-heater the operator has total control of. By the simple turn of a dial, pre-heat temperatures from 0 to over 360 F (0 -150 C). The micro computer is constantly running the onboard diagnostics while providing a light display, informing the owner of just what is taking place. You’ll never be at a loss with this amazing waste oil burner. The Payoff. America’s Pride is proud to announce an industry first. The Ampro Waste Oil Heaters carry an unprecedented 17.5 year warranty!

When considering a waste oil heater, remember, go GREEN , go AMPRO.

From tasty to toasty: Used cooking oil heats a diner Owner of Watertown eatery rebels against fuel costs By Peter J. Howe, Globe Staff Like every small business owner, Don Levy was eager to escape crushing increases in the cost of energy this winter. The owner of Deluxe Town Diner found a way to slash his fuel bill for heating and hot water to $0 during some weeks this winter: a new system that runs on the 30 or 40 gallons of vegetable oil he uses every week for cooking fries, plus oil he collects from a nearby pizzeria and a pair of Chinese restaurants. While hundreds of Boston-area restaurants sell or give their used cooking oil to companies that reprocess it into motor and heating fuel, Levy is one of the few who has cut out the middleman and become his own heating supplier. Besides curbing heating costs, Levy is also saving the $100 or more he used to pay a sanitation company to haul away used oil every month. ''I'm saving money, and I'm saving the planet, too," Levy, 61, said yesterday. Although his self-contained approach seems to be unique, Levy has plenty of company among Hub businesses looking to chop their heating expenses. This month, the first wave of natural gas bills is hitting mailboxes, reflecting price increases of 30 to 50 percent over last winter. Users of heating oil may be getting their next delivery and finding prices here now average $2.38 per gallon, up 46 cents from the same time last year and double 2002 levels, according to a weekly survey by the state Division of Energy Resources. Utilities such as KeySpan Energy Delivery New England and NStar are reporting some of the highest numbers of calls for energy efficiency advice since the 1970s energy crises.   more

7 things everyone should know before purchasing a waste oil burning heater! 1. How often will you have to clean your waste oil heater? Look beyond a ‘clean one time per season’ claim. In some cases, units carrying this claim must be cleaned after every 50 hours of use. Who has the time to do that? 2. Waste oil heater manufacturers love to hide behind the perception that buying directly from them is the best deal for you. Actually, it is the best deal for them! Manufacturers who sell their products on the internet are obligated to sell for list price and list price only. They are bound by legal agreements with distributors. By dealing with a company like Burns All you are dealing with a National account master distributor and can purchase waste oil heaters for discounted pricing. You also have the advantage of shopping multiple product lines. 3. Stainless steel burner chambers vs. steel burner chambers. Some companies make a big deal about having a stainless steel burner chamber. Although it is commonly understood that stainless steel will not rot out due to moisture brought on by condensation, it is not moisture that wears out a burner chamber. The chamber eventually wears down from air moving across its surface creating friction. That is why a stainless chamber and a steel chamber will last about the same amount of years. The big difference you should consider is how poorly stainless steel conducts heat. This makes a steel burner chamber incredibly more efficient. Also consider that most waste oil heaters with a stainless chamber only use a single pass system which further decreases the efficiency of the unit. The best units utilize a triple pass steel burner chamber which boost the heating efficiency to 87%. Even though the fuel may be free, it doesn’t mean you should waste it. 4. Some waste oil heater manufacturers claim their units will burn vegetable oil. Read the fine print. Most units will not burn vegetable oil unless the oil has been processed. The oil must be purified before it can be used as fuel. There is only one manufacturer that builds a product that will burn unprocessed vegetable oil. Don’t be fooled. We have been dealing with these issues for a very long time. 5. All waste oil heaters require compressed air to atomize the fuel. Most of the burners on the market require an air source to be piped into the unit. On the other hand, there are also units with built in air compressors. The cost involved to pipe air into your oil burner is a big consideration when making your purchase. 6. Some units have a stack temperature in excess of 900 degrees while others have stack temperatures of less than 500 degrees. Obviously the higher the stack temperature the less efficient the unit. Also, the higher the stack temperature the greater the potential for fire hazard. Some manufacturers will go as far as trying to convince you that single wall exhaust pipe is acceptable. You need to know that single wall exhaust pipe is 100% legal to purchase and 100% legal to install. However, once you turn that burner on and start to exhaust fumes you are in violation of almost all local fire codes and risk being dropped by your insurance carrier. Don’t let an overzealous manufacturer sell you something that is a potential fire hazard and will put you in violation of local fire codes. 7. Many manufacturers intentionally over rate their units to give you a false sense of value and worth. Other manufacturers intentionally under rate their units in order to give you what you really need and then some. You have the right to know who truly has the best deal. The last and most important piece of information you should know is that at Burns All we have dealt with all of these issues and we want nothing more than to give you good, sound, solid advice about what unit would be best for you. It is never just about price. It is much more than that and money poorly spent is money wasted. You might have waste oil to burn but not money and time to waste.
