Working Principle Diagram of Fuel Oil Heater
Due to the high viscosity of fuel oil (especially heavy oil or residual oil), 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 for atomization.
Layout
If the user is very close to the fuel oil pump house, the heater can be installed on the outlet pipe of the fuel oil pump outside the pump house for centralized heating and oil supply.
If the user is far from the fuel oil pump house, 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 line, making it difficult to ensure the required oil temperature for the user.
Determination
When the fuel oil heater is centrally arranged, such as on the main pipe supplying oil to each furnace in the workshop, the heated oil volume should be the maximum consumption of the 1~2 furnaces with the highest oil consumption, plus the average 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 also be added.
