I've seen a few.

Check out Shenendoah, Clean Burn or Black Gold. It's been a few years but I remember the Clean Burn being at the top O the heap. (you supply the air via a compressor.) Both other units worked well and supplied their own air. The Black Gold units had a problem with the first generation filter/heaters, but I hear they have been no problem since.
The local Honda dealer used to heat their old service area with the Shenendoah's and they told me they had very few problems with them after finding that they should be serviced at regular intervals. I seem to think they said 2 times a year, but the manager said the savings more than made that very easy to swallow compared to the gas fired hanging furnaces that used to heat the place. Check out all 3 and ask for the local rep to come out and take a look. I have never heard of 1 not following up on a possible sale. Chris

have

worked on the clean burn system. An older model. They are fired with 25lbs air to 2lb's oil pressure. As long as the customer keep's oil in the tank they are not a bad unit. I have found that the stainless filter should be cleaned once a month during heavy use. One other suggestion is to put a screen on the fill to the oil tank. This should keep any big chunk's out of the system. As to cleaning the unit, not really much to them. Only thing that really need's to be cleaned are the filter and nozzle. Good luck

My truck mechanic

runs a Clean Burn. As stated, he uses a fine mesh screen on a tank funnel for filtration. He services at least monthly and he absolutely LOVES it. More moving parts and a different burner componenets w/ regard to pre-heaters, filters ect. but overall he has had limited problems. Lots of maitenance is key.

That's the old clean burn slogan. We've installed maybe 10 of them we don't have many real problems but maintenance is very high, hey look what your burning. We've had some heat exchangers get burned through. Guys figure out that if they crank up the oil and air pressure via the handy nobs with gauges on them that they can really melt the ice off the Cat D-10 in a hurry. Which it does but then it also turns the burner into a blow torch..... "Hello this is Bubba at Wrecks R Us.If flames are coming through the back of my unit , is that bad??"
