What are the commonly used liquid fuels for heating boilers?
Liquid fuels mainly include petroleum, gas oil, kerosene, heavy oil, coal tar, gasoline, alcohol and so on. The liquid fuel is mainly composed of seven components: carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), ash (A) and moisture (M). It is characterized by high content of carbon and hydrogen and low moisture, so its calorific value is very high, usually 40600〜43100kJ/kg.
What are the commonly used liquid fuels? There are three main types: heavy oil, residual oil and light diesel oil. Diesel oil is generally used for ignition and stable combustion of small and medium-sized heating boilers, domestic boilers and large boilers, while heavy oil is mostly used for utility boilers.

From spinning and weaving to dyeing, printing and heat setting, steam is required throughout multiple stages of textile production. As textile enterprises pay closer attention to energy costs, steam supply stability and emission requirements, boiler selection can no longer be based solely on rated evaporation capacity. Local fuel availability, production load, boiler room conditions and ongoing operation and maintenance also need to be considered. Recent textile projects served by ZOZEN Boiler ...10 Nov 2026 -
IntroductionIn Wuhan, Hubei Province, Hubei Hanjia New Materials Co., Ltd. and Wuhan Yiqingsheng Building Materials Co., Ltd. required thermal energy equipment for autoclave curing and continuous production-line heating, respectively. Based on the production processes, fuel conditions and site requirements of the two companies, ZOZEN Boiler supplied an 8 t/h DZL series biomass steam boiler and a 7.2-million-kcal YWW series biomass thermal oil boiler. The two projects use different heat-transfer ...03 Nov 2026 -
