What type of boilers is heavy oil mainly used for?
Heavy oil, often referred to as residual oil or furnace oil, is a by-product obtained after the refining of crude oil. This type of oil is characterized by its high viscosity and dense structure, making it more challenging to burn than lighter fuels. However, advances in technology have made it possible to utilize heavy oil efficiently in boilers, providing a significant source of energy for various industrial processes.
Boilers Suited for Heavy Oil
Boilers that are designed to burn heavy oil need to account for its unique characteristics. Such boilers are equipped with special burners, pre-heaters, and other equipment to ensure the efficient and complete combustion of the oil. Some common types of boilers that can use heavy oil include:
Steam Boilers: Used in various industries to produce steam for heating or to drive turbines for electricity generation.
Hot Water Boilers: Primarily used for heating purposes in large buildings, facilities, or district heating networks.
Thermal Oil Boilers: These boilers use thermal oil as the heat transfer medium and are especially suitable for processes that require high temperatures without the risk of high-pressure systems.
