HFO = Heavy Fuel Oil 380 CST = the grade of fuel oil representing viscosity, quality, etc.
The flash point of bunker fuel can vary depending on the specific type or grade of fuel being used. Typically, bunker fuel has a flash point between 60-100 degrees Celsius.
In addition to finding the "sweet spot" as the other poster indicated which is the RPM and load that the engine uses the least amount of fuel per KWm HFO reduction can also been realized by using new technology, E-Fuel. E-Fuel, reduces emissions as traditional emulsions but in the case of HFO can increase the fuel efficiency using HFO up to 38% in a rotating engines. There are two reasons that the 38% effective can be reached, the heavies don't have to be removed from HFO to prevent damage to the engine and the fuel is 43% more efferent in converting the HFO into mechanical energy.
No, fuel flash point and cetane rating are not the same. Flash point is the temperature at which fuel can ignite momentarily when exposed to a flame, while cetane rating is a measure of the ignition quality of diesel fuel, indicating how readily it ignites under compression in a diesel engine.
All fuel oils have a flash point of 490F (254C). Distillate fuels have lower flash points.
Flash point means nothing but the amount of heat it takes to make the Gasoline or Diesel combust
HFO, or Heavy Fuel Oil, is a type of fuel used predominantly in marine engines. It is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, sulfur, nitrogen, and other elements. The precise chemical composition can vary depending on the source and grade of the fuel.
The flash point of F-76 fuel, also known as naval distillate fuel, is typically around 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius). This is the minimum temperature at which the fuel can ignite in the presence of an open flame.
what is a flashpoint <><><> The temperature at which a substance gives off an ignitable vapor is the flash point. If the flash point is under 100 degrees F, it is a flammable (gasoline). If it is over 100, it is a combustible (diesel fuel). Flash point is NOT the ignition temperature.
The flash point of Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) is the lowest temperature at which the fuel can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air. It is a critical safety parameter, as it indicates the fuel's flammability and helps in assessing the risk of fire during storage and handling. MDO typically has a flash point above 60°C (140°F), which makes it less hazardous compared to lighter fuels. Properly managing the flash point is essential for safe operation in marine environments.
flash point is the temperature of the fuel at which a momentary or may be a instantaneous flame occurs occurs when you introduce a source of flame over the surface of the fuel (not by contact, the introductory flame should always be above the surface of the fuel)fire point is the temperature of the fuel at which at least a 5 second flame occurs when you introduce a source of flame above the surface of the fuel.
