   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 of ...

3. Smudge pot - Wikipedia

   The system was simple, had few controls, a single automatic gas valve, and no blower. These furnaces could be made to work with any fuel simply by adapting the burner area. They have been operated with wood, coke, coal, trash, paper, natural gas, fuel oil as well as whale oil for a brief period at the turn of the century.

7. Thermic fluid heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermic_fluid_heater

   A thermic fluid heater (TFH), [1] also known as a thermal oil heater, is a device used for indirect heat transfer through a thermic fluid. It heats the fluid to a desired temperature and then transfers that heat to various processes without any direct contact between the heating source and the product.

8. Block heater - Wikipedia

   The catalytic heater is contained within the package which is usually made out of stainless steel. Instrument gas and pilot preheating regulators are only used for freeze protection, and to heat up the gas before it reaches the pilot. It can also be used to heat a stream of gas that is used for measurement or instrumentation. Space heating is a ...
