Why does an oil-fired hot water boiler generate a large amount of white smoke?

17 Mar 2023

Oil-fired hot water boilers are hot water equipment that is widely used in industrial and civil fields. However, sometimes during use, oil-fired hot water boilers may emit a large amount of white smoke. What is the cause of this?

 

Firstly, the reason for the oil-fired hot water boiler emitting a large amount of white smoke may be incomplete combustion of the boiler. This may be due to insufficient oil supply, poor oil quality, excessive deposits inside the combustion chamber, and other issues. In this case, the boiler needs to be maintained and cleaned to ensure that the oil can be fully burned.

 

Another possible reason is the blockage of the boiler exhaust pipe or poor exhaust. If the exhaust is not smooth, it will cause the flue gas to stay inside the boiler for too long, thereby forming a large amount of white smoke. Therefore, when using oil-fired hot water boilers, it is necessary to regularly clean and inspect the exhaust pipes to ensure smooth exhaust.

 

In addition, the height of the oil-fired hot water boiler chimney also affects the exhaust effect. If the chimney height is not high enough, the exhaust will not be good, which will also cause a large amount of white smoke to be produced.

 

To address these issues, it is important to use a reliable oil-fired hot water boiler. ZOZEN oil-fired hot water boilers have advanced combustion technology and efficient heat exchange systems, which can ensure complete combustion of oil and reduce smoke emissions. In addition, ZOZEN oil-fired hot water boilers are equipped with advanced chimney design and anti-smoke accumulation technology to ensure smooth exhaust.

 

In addition to oil-fired hot water boilers, ZOZEN also provides other types of boilers, such as steam boilers and gas-fired boilers. ZOZEN boilers have the advantages of high reliability, energy efficiency, and long service life, and are therefore highly favored by customers.
