Tigerloop
®
eliminates common oil heating problems.
The pressurized return line in a
two-pipe system is the number
one cause of damages due to
leaks in heating oil installations.
Even the smallest leak in the
return line can lead to terrible
environmental damages and
expensive clean up. To avoid
problems with leaky return lines,
countries such as Denmark
and Switzerland have already
established laws prohibiting use
of the two-pipe system. In these
countries, the one-pipe system
with a de-aeration device like
the Tigerloop
®
is standard. Other
countries, such as Belgium and Germany are also in the process of establishing similar
laws. For example, the one-pipe system with a de-aerator is standard in most German
states and even required by law on new heating installations.
Risk for leakage
The one-pipe system without
a Tigerloop
®
is not to be
recommended. This is due to the
increased risk of breakdowns,
as gas/air bubbles cannot be
removed from the oil pump
during operation. Such a system
will only work as long as the oil
is continuously 100% free of
gas/air bubbles. Moreover, it is
impossible to automatically de-aerate the system during start up or after running the tank
empty since a tool is necessary to purge the system. By using a Tigerloop
®
the system
will be primed automatically by pressing the reset button on the burner. When converting
from a two-pipe system to a one-pipe system it is important to consider the dimension of
the suction pipe (feed line). Too large a diameter of pipe in a one-pipe system with a
de-aerator may lead to air pockets as the siphon effect is lost in the descending sections
of the suction pipe.
