Who is Firelake?
  • WAS

Firelake Waste Oil Heaters and Boilers are
designed from the ground up to burn waste oil and
other petroleum based products. Started by
Shenandoah Manufacturing Co. Inc. in September
1989, our waste oil heaters and boilers have
become the premier waste oil heating equipment in
the industry. Firelake Mfg. LLC has been a
family owned business since its inception. The
Dassel, MN facility has been a metal fabricator
since the early 1950's. In October 2002,
Firelake Mfg. LLC obtained the Shenandoah waste
oil heater and boiler lines. Many of the same
employees from Shenandoah Manufacturing Co. Inc.

Firelake Waste Oil Heaters
  • The Firelake Horizon Model, Recognized Best Waste
    Oil Heat Exchanger
  • Quickest cleaning heater in industry (15 minutes)
  • Two to four hours labor is typical for
    competitive single and multi-tube heater designs
  • Horizons patented heat exchanger can allow
    better heat transfer than multi-tube heaters. The
    Horizons ash periodically falls to the bottom of
    the chamber, freeing transfer surface, while the
    competitions tubes progressively fill with ash.
  • Horizons industry leading heat transfer ability
    is due to the patented air flow where cooling air
    is forced onto the hottest part of the fire
    chamber first.
  • Versatile stack outlet options
  • Stainless steel heat exchanger option
  • Beware of inconsistent advertising, Firelakes
    Btu Input equals or exceeds the heater model.
  • Reznor advertises two heater sizes with BTU/hr
    inputs of 225,000 325,000. Their actual
    catalog specifications list them at only 200,000
    and 280,000 BTU/hr.
  • EnergyLogic states their Model 340 at 2.25
    gallons per hour and 340,000 btu/hr input. By
    calculation, the industry standard of 140,000
    btu/gal x 2.25 gph is equal to only 315,000
    btu/hr. This leaves them 25,000 BTU short of
    actual.
  • The Lanair Model 300D states 1.83 gallons per
    hour and 300,000 btu input. By industry standard,
    140,000 btu/gal x 1.83 gph is equal to only
    256,000 btu/hr, 44,000 btu short.
  • Omni shows their Model 150 at 1.0 gallon per hour
    and 150,000 btu input. By industry standard,
    140,000 btu/hr x 10. gph is equal to
    only140,000 btu/hr, thus 10,000 btu short.
  • Clean Burn shows 170,000 btu/hr at 1.15 gph in
    their model 1750. A rate of 1.15 gph at 140,000
    btu/gallon is only 161,000 btu/hr. They also
    show 250,000 btu/hr at 1.7 gph in their model
    2501. A rate of 1.7 gph at 140,000 btu/gallon
    is only 238,000 btu/hr. Averages about 10,000
    btu short.

Firelake Waste Oil Pumps
  • Firelake uses field proven Suntec A body and J
    body waste oil pumps
  • Suntec is the proven leader in reliability, but
    not all competitors use Suntec pumps. Firelake
    has tested many pump manufacturers by circulating
    metal shavings through them in controlled
    multiple pump tests. Suntec always was the last
    pump standing. The others leaked air or oil.
  • Firelake offers pressure regulated oil flow
    (Standard Model A or J) as well as viscosity
    compensating metering pump systems (Model CDVF A
    or J).
  • Firelakes metering pumps are versatile unlike
    the fixed speed pumps competitors sell. With a
    competitors fixed speed pump there is no
    adjustment for piping head or suction loss, and a
    special pump is needed for every model of heater.
    Fixed speed pumps are limited in distance from
    the burner to the oil tank.
  • Firelakes metering system is adjustable, and
    only one model is needed for all the heater
    sizes. This reduces confusion over parts and
    eliminates potential mismatching of equipment.
    Firelakes metering system can work in a wider
    variety of applications. Firelake pumps prime
    oil lines as much as 5 to 9 times faster, why sit
    around and wait an hour for oil to get to the
    burner after service or installation?

8
Cheaper is Not Always Better or Less Cost
  • Initial sale of 6,000 for Firelake 5,000 for
    Competition.
  • A labor rate of 40/hr. Assuming competition
    needs 3 cleanings/season at 2 hrs/cleaning
    Firelake needs 1 cleaning/season at 0.33
    hrs/cleaning. Chart shows a 10 year heater life.
  • Over the 10 years Firelake will return your
    original 1,000 difference and save you another
    1,268
  • based on 10th year figures of 7,400 - 6132
    1,268.
  • After the 10th year Firelake provides a lifetime
    10 warranty, the competition stops at 10 years.

Why Firelake gets you more heat in the long run
than multiple tube heat exchangers
10
The Firelake Horizon Heater
  • Firelake patented heaters have technology that
    Eliminates the need for deflectors, puts the
    blower air at the hottest section of the chamber
    first, and has chimney connections at either side
    for convenience and prevention of water running
    into the chamber.
  • Firelakes patented Horizon model creates a
    cleaning action that releases ash from the
    interior of the fire chamber, allowing it to fall
    to the bottom of the chamber. The Firelake
    patent reads the burner assembly imparts a
    swirl to the combustion gases which increases the
    efficiency of heat transfer as well as reduces
    the tendency of ash to form on the upper surface
    of the combustion chamber.
  • Competitors multiple tube designs collect ash on
    all 360 degrees of the interior of the tubes.
    Efficiency deteriorates with time since the ash
    adheres and remains in place until it is
    physically removed.

11
The Firelake Horizon Heater
  • Part of the Horizons success is due to the air
    flow. The Horizons patent reads A blower
    supplies ambient air which flows into the upper
    air space, flows along the hottest part of the
    combustion chamber and then, upon reaching the
    flue gas end of the combustion chamber, reverses
    direction and travels back along the lower air
    space before being exhausted into the ambient
    air.
  • The blower air contacts the hottest part of heat
    exchanger first for maximum heat transfer.
  • Hinged burner access door for service and
    cleaning.
  • Directional hot air outlet
  • Either side chimney connection
  • Impact resistant mill-applied painted steel
    surfaces.

14
Firelake-Columbia Boilers
  • Firelake uses steel sheet construction. Unlike
    cast boilers you never need to worry about stress
    failures from cool return water.
  • Firelake has accessible surfaces to remove ash.
    Cast boilers have corners, grooves to collect ash
    and promote inefficient heating and corrosive
    conditions.
  • Unlike competitive boilers with only a coiled
    pipe to heat water, all Firelake boilers have a
    water jacket with reserve hot water. This
    reserve supply feature will prevent cold water
    during high demand periods.
  • Firelake is always pressure vessel stamped,
    tested, and ASME certified.
  • Firelake boilers are standard with separate
    jacket water and potable water use.
  • Steam or hot water controls available.
  • Water tube design and multiple access doors allow
    easiest cleaning. Firelake has no flue tubes
    carrying condensable flue gas prone to hidden
    internal corrosion.
  • Large swing door for burner mounting and chamber
    cleaning.
  • Boiler manufacturing experience from 1936.

Firelake is Meeting Expectations
  • Maguire's Ford (Hershey, Pennsylvania)Maguire
    s Ford, serving Central Pennsylvania since 1935,
    first used Firelake's multi-oil heaters in their
    Duncannon dealership. They were so happy with the
    results that they recently decided to install
    three Firelake heaters in their newer Hershey
    location.The three heaters in Hershey are used
    to heat the entire 12,800 sq. ft. shop area.
    According to Service Manager, Rob Mathias, the
    heaters handle very well in an area that has 22
    role-up doors. The Horizon heaters are a big
    improvement over the natural gas heat they had
    used before. We get a constant source of heat
    rather than intermitted highs and lows, making
    the shop more comfortable. And we dont have to
    back off the heat in evenings to save money,
    says Mathias. The guys wouldnt want to part
    with it.According to Mathias they have
    practically paid for themselves in less than a
    year. He completely recommends the Firelake
    products saying, You wont regret making this
    decision.
