2. Oil burner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_burner

   An oil burner is a part attached to an oil furnace, water heater, or boiler. [1] It provides the ignition of heating oil/biodiesel fuel used to heat either air or water via a heat exchanger . The fuel is atomized into a fine spray usually by forcing it under pressure through a nozzle which gives the resulting flame a specific flow rate, angle ...

3. Waste oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_oil

   The U.S. EPA defines the term "used oil" as any petroleum or synthetic oil that has been used, and as a result of such use is contaminated by physical or chemical properties. [2] "Used oil" is a precise regulatory term. "Waste oil" is a more generic term for oil that has been contaminated with substances that may or may not be hazardous. [1]

4. List of boiler types by manufacturer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_boiler_types_by...

   Johnson boiler: one of the first "modern" classes of high-pressure marine oil-fired water-tube boilers. They have a single steam drum above a single water drum. Their small-diameter water-tubes curve outwards on each side to form a cylindrical furnace. As there is no grate or ashpan beneath, firing must be by oil.

5. Recuperator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recuperator

   In many types of processes, combustion is used to generate heat, and the recuperator serves to recuperate, or reclaim this heat, in order to reuse or recycle it. The term recuperator refers as well to liquid-liquid counterflow heat exchangers used for heat recovery in the chemical and refinery industries and in closed processes such as ammonia-water or LiBr-water absorption refrigeration cycle.

6. Muffle furnace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muffle_furnace

   An Automatic Oil Muffle Furnace, circa 1910. Petroleum is contained in tank A, and is kept under pressure by pumping at intervals with the wooden handle, so that when the valve B is opened, the oil is vaporized by passing through a heating coil at the furnace entrance, and when ignited burns fiercely as a gas flame.

7. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

   Modern high-efficiency furnaces can be up to 98% efficient and operate without a chimney, with a typical gas furnace being about 80% efficient. [1] Waste gas and heat are mechanically ventilated through either metal flue pipes or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes that can be vented
