OVC-9
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Hauck OVC Oil Viscosity Control takes the inconvenience and guess work out of burning
waste, recycle and heavy oils. To properly burn waste and recycled oils, they must be heated to
the optimum viscosity to burn cleanly and efficiently. The new Hauck Oil Viscosity Controller
automatically monitors the viscosity and adjusts the temperature of the fuel oil for optimal
combustion, removing the requirement for manual testing. Set the unit set point to the desired
viscosity in SSU and let the controller do the rest.
The unit ships with a NEMA 4 control panel, temperature probe, transfer oil volume control
valve, and viscosity transmitter. The unit is easily installed within the existing fuel oil piping
system.
B. RECEIVING AND INSPECTION
