Why the crude oil has to be heated in the fractional distillation?

When crude oil is processed in the fractional distillation column it separates out different by products on the basis of their boiling points. Most of the by- products of the crude oil have a large difference in their boiling points so method of fractional distillation is viable in such a process. Fractional distillation can also be done to separate out water and acetone from a solution.
