Characteristics of Fuel Oil Heater Working Principle Diagram
Due to the high viscosity of fuel oil (especially heavy oil or oil residue), in order to meet the requirements of the boiler or main engine for fuel fluidity and atomization, the fuel oil must be heated to an appropriate temperature in the heater using fresh saturated steam to achieve atomization.
If the user is very close to the fuel oil pump room, the heater can be installed on the outlet pipe of the fuel oil pump outside the pump room for centralized heating and oil supply.
If the user is far from the fuel oil pump room, it is more appropriate to install the heater near the user, because transporting high-temperature hot oil over long distances results in significant heat loss along the route, making it difficult to ensure the required oil temperature for the user.
Confirm
When fuel oil heaters are arranged centrally, such as on the main pipe supplying oil to each furnace in the workshop, the amount of oil to be heated is taken as the maximum oil consumption of the 1~2 furnaces with the highest consumption, plus the average oil consumption of the remaining furnaces. If a large return system is used and the returned oil passes through the heater, the return oil volume should be added.
