  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. Staged combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staged_combustion

    The secondary (10-30%) combustion air is injected above the combustion zone through a special wind-box with air-introducing ports and/or nozzles, which are mounted above the burners. Combustion is completed at this increased flame volume. Hence, the relatively low-temperature secondary stage limits the production of thermal NO x. The location ...

  4. Oil burner (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_burner_(engine)

    Oil Burning Locomotive: Southern Pacific 2472 at the Niles Canyon Railway An oil burner engine is a steam engine that uses oil as its fuel. The term is usually applied to a locomotive or ship engine that burns oil to heat water, to produce the steam which drives the pistons, or turbines, from which the power is derived.

  5. Air preheater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_preheater

    The third sector is the smallest one and it heats air which is routed into the pulverizers and used to carry the coal-air mixture to coal boiler burners. Thus, the total air heated in the RAPH provides: heating air to remove the moisture from the pulverised coal dust, carrier air for transporting the pulverised coal to the boiler burners and ...

  6. GWR oil burning steam locomotives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_oil_burning_steam...

    GWR No. 101 was an experimental 0-4-0 side-tank locomotive built at Swindon Works under the direction of Churchward in June 1902. Initially built as an oil-burning locomotive, it was rebuilt in 1905 as a coal burner, with the cab backplate replaced by a bunker.

  7. Turndown ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turndown_ratio

    Boilers using the pressure jet type of burner, i.e. with a fan, (usually with 35 second oil) can achieve a turndown ratio of 2, while the rotary cup type burner can achieve 4. [3] Condensing oil boilers are fairly unusual; the condensate from the combustion of oil is far more aggressive than gas, mainly due to sulphur content.

  8. Gas flare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_flare

    Flare stack at the Shell Haven refinery in England. A gas flare, alternatively known as a flare stack, flare boom, ground flare, or flare pit, is a gas combustion device used in places such as petroleum refineries, chemical plants and natural gas processing plants, oil or gas extraction sites having oil wells, gas wells, offshore oil and gas rigs and landfills.

  9. Combustor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustor

    It is also known as a burner, burner can, combustion chamber or flame holder. In a gas turbine engine, the combustor or combustion chamber is fed high-pressure air by the compression system. The combustor then heats this air at constant pressure as the fuel/air mix burns. As it burns the fuel/air mix heats and rapidly expands.
