Diesel Infrared HeatersA Brief Overview of Waste Oil Heaters
An oil burner is a part attached to an oil furnace, water heater, or boiler. It provides the ignition of heating oil/biodiesel fuel used to heat either air or water via a heat exchanger. The fuel is atomized into a fine spray usually by forcing it under pressure through a nozzle which gives the resulting flame a specific flow rate, angle of spray and pattern (variations of a cone shape). This spray is usually ignited by an electric spark with the air being forced through around it at the end of a blast tube, by a fan driven by the oil burner motor. The fuel pump is typically driven via a coupling connecting its shaft to that of the motor's. Oil burners also include combustion-proving devices to prevent out-of-control combustion - Primary Control; Safety Control; Cad Cell Control; Master Control; Fire-Eye Control are all common names for the 'combustion safety control'.
In the United States residential home heating oil market the "vaporizing gun burner" is the most common mechanical device used to heat a home or small commercial forced air space with. Depending on the manufacturer these simple burners will see a lifespan if regularly maintained for decades. Currently, old installations from the 1950s and 1960s are still in operation today if they received regular maintenance.
The maintenance involved in a gun burner usually is a replacement of the nozzle used to atomize the fuel, replacing the filter located at the air handler, replacing the fuel filter on the heating oil system from the tank, cleaning out any soot or deposits in the heat exchanger of the furnace, and ensuring the system is in good working order, and also involves checking and adjusting the fuel-air mixture for efficiency with a combustion analyzer.
If a heating oil burner runs out of oil it often must be primed to be restarted. Priming involves purging any air from the fuel lines so that a steady flow of oil can find its way to the burner.
About Val6
J.S.O'Will, Inc. is a sales arm for the Val6 Infrared Heaters manufactured by Shizuoka Seiki.
J.S.O'Will, Inc. has a primary location just outside of Seattle, Washington and its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. Our warehouses are located in Torrance and Long Beach California.
The manufacturing plant, located in Shizuoka, Japan, has been in existence for over a 100 years.
The first Val6 heater was manufactured in 1974. Known for their quality and efficiency, the Val6 heaters quickly established themselves as the #1 industrial portable space heater in Japan for the last 40 years and as the most established infrared space heater in Europe for over 35 years.

We want you to get the best deal on the system that’s right for you...
With pre-packaged solutions like the fuel-delivery kit and the all-in-one Complete System, EnergyLogic works to ensure a simple, universal approach to waste-oil heating. Still, each oil-recycling setup is a unique opportunity to ensure that you get the most value for your investment.
Rather than post prices for a product that may not be optimized for you or your local guidelines, we make sure that you get help from an experienced dealer representative to make your solution just right!
EnergyLogic used-oil burners are UL tested and rated for:
Substances that should NEVER be introduced the fuel supply of an EnergyLogic used-oil heater or boiler include, but are not limited to:
If you have a question about a potential fuel that you would like to recycle, CONTACT US and we’ll work with you to find a solution.
Depending on the model, EnergyLogic heaters and boilers burn 1-3.5 gallons per hour of running time and can recycle dozens to thousands of gallons per year... and every drop removes waste from the environment while lowering the demand for other heating fuels.
Waste-oil contains a tremendous amount of valuable energy, and EnergyLogic has spent over three decades figuring out how to get the most from it. EnergyLogic’s advanced used-oil burner platform can convert ~140,000 BTU of clean energy from each gallon of fuel per hour of continuous run time. Of course, different facilities require different amounts of heat and fuel consumption will vary, as the heater will not need to run continuously to heat the space.
EnergyLogic develops systems for facilities of all shapes and sizes. CONTACT US today and let our experience work for you.
EnergyLogic’s used-oil combustion process combines the best technologies to create extremely high temperatures in the core of its blast flame.
Val 6
Radiant heat transfer occurs when infrared light emitted from an object travels to the surfaces of other cooler objects.
An object is heated directly through electromagnetic waves; Similar to how the sun heats the earth.
Radiant heat allows you to heat an object directly without the inefficient process of heating the air first.
Radiant heat penetrates heated objects evenly, similar to heat from the sun.
Val6 heaters are not affected by wind as forced air heaters that suffer from heat loss in the ambient air. Radiant heat travels in a straight line, unlike hot air, it is unaffected by wind or cold ambient air. Since infrared heat can penetrate into the object, the targeted surface and object are warmed and/dried in a uniquely different way from any conventional heater which utilizes heated air.
Val6 generates infrared heat directly to the object without any air movement creating a dust-free comfortable environment.
Clean, complete combustion system produces no odor or smoke while it is running.
State of the art combustion chamber enables virtually 100% fuel to energy conversion thus making it the most efficient form of heating per BTU energy burned.
Because of the quality of craftsmanship, VAL6 heaters are guaranteed to last on average 3 times longer than typical convection heaters and those copycat versions.
It depends on the model of the heater.
You can use Diesel #1, #2, and Kerosene.
If Diesel #2 starts to gel, mix with kerosene or Diesel #1.
