We inform you of our compliance with SOx emission regulation from 2020.
Depending on the type or the dynamic viscosity range of the fuel oil, it may be necessary to
replace with the new fuel oil pump or the alarm sensor.
Refer to the attached documents (No. HAKU-HH-19020, HAKU-HH-19036) and let us know if you
would like to request a quotation due to the above changes. Our engineer will send you the quotation.

The document summarizes our compliance with SOx emission regulation from 2020.
Please confirm the corresponding method for each equipment.
1. Combustion performance
The use of the low-sulfur fuel oil does not affect the combustion performance of the burner.
Although the combustion amount may be low depending on the burner types when the fuel oil viscosity
decreases, the burner can be used without combustion adjustment. If the evaporation amount is
extremely in sufficient or the combustion condition worsen, please contact us for assistance.

1. Object product
Name: Steam boiler, Exhaust gas thermal oil heater
Model: GK (all types), HB (all types), VWH, HTB
The lower limit temperature of the conventional fuel oil temperature sensor is approximately 60 to 70°C,
although it may vary depending on the sensor’s individual specifications.
In this case, when the dynamic viscosity is lower than 50cSt (at 50°C) or less, the sensor’s temperature
range is exceeded, so the sensor needs to be replaced.
*When replacing the fuel oil with diesel oil, our products are equipped with a switch that temporarily
cancels the fuel oil temperature low alarm, so it is possible to use temporarily.
However, the use with the alarm cancelled violates the classification rules and the replacement is
required.
3. Countermeasure
The sensor replacement method varies depending on the product specifications.
In addition, applying to the classification society is required for the replacement.
The replacement procedure and drawings necessary for the application will be provided separately,
so please feel free to contact our engineers.
