Tigerloop Question

Donald Foley

I have a Tigerloop that appears to be malfunctioning. We
have only about three quarters of an inch of oil in the
lower chamber and the rest is foam. There is plenty of oil,
new oil line and pump and all fittings are tight. Is it
possible that the Tigerloop is not venting properly?
Is it possible that the air is not venting and creating
pressure in the chamber which is not allowing an adequate
amount of oil to enter? If I jump the FF terminal on the
primary control and allow the pump to run for a while I
will get the burner to operate. It will shut down on high
limit and not re-start. Does anyone have advice on this
matter.

I'd put the supply line into a can of oil and see if the problem goes away. Sure sounds like an air leak somewhere.

The amount of oil in the chamber can vary. The foam tends to indicate a suction leak.

With FF jumpered the burner will not start once it has shut off since the primary is being told there is fire in the chamber. Not sure why you jumpered FF if the burner lit?

Better test is to swing the nozzle line into a container and let the burner run. Watch the Tiger Loop chamber during the run.

Thanks Jim, I Took the jumper off FF as soon as I had a
flame. Without the jumper iniatially, and without flame
it would lock out on safety.The jumper allowed more time
to accumulate oil and have ignition. I'm curious if the
Tigerloop itself may be defective. Thanks for your input.

Did you install a bypass plug in the pump?

Beckett had a bad run off Clean Cut pumps.

It's not Beckett!

It's Suntec and these coils were used on numerous pumps.The symptom would be random lockouts

Bob,

Is that a PDF? Did you save it as a different type of file? I can't open it.
