How to Choose Fuel for Heavy Oil Burners
Heavy oil: Usually made from different proportions of cracked, vacuum, atmospheric or waxed oil. In the selection, the total body requirements should be high calorific value, good combustion performance, moderate viscosity, good corrosiveness, small solid impurities, and easy storage and transportation.
viscosity
Viscosity represents the flowability of fuel oil. The higher the viscosity, the worse the effect. It is an important quality indicator and availability energy indicator for heavy oil, which can directly affect the efficiency and fuel consumption of oil pumps and nozzles. As the temperature increases, the viscosity of heavy oil increases accordingly; Therefore, it is necessary to heat high viscosity oil in order to smoothly transport and atomize.
When selecting oil, in addition to understanding the conventional indicators of the oil, it is also necessary to understand the viscosity temperature curve of the oil to ensure that the addition of heat energy can achieve the viscosity required for the pre atomization burner of the heavy oil. For mechanical atomization burners, the fuel viscosity value before the nozzle is 2.5~3.5 ° Et, and the fuel viscosity value for compressed air haze burners is 4.5~5.8 ° Et.
