What can after-drip lead to?

After-drip refers to the residual oil that remains in the burner after the fuel supply has been cut off. This phenomenon can lead to carbon deposits building up in the combustion chamber and on the burner components. When the oil drips and ignites during the next cycle, it can create incomplete combustion, resulting in carbon accumulation. This build-up not only affects the efficiency of the burner but can also lead to various operational issues, including increased maintenance needs and potential hazards.

Understanding the effects of after-drip is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and safety of oil-burning equipment. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help mitigate the risk of carbon deposits, ensuring cleaner and more efficient operation.
