Some fuel oils are too viscous to flow easily to the burner unless heated first.
The bunker grade fuel oil used in many ships is close to the viscosity of warm sticky asphalt when at room temperature and is usually heated to several hundred Fahrenheit to get it to flow and then it is aerosolized in the burner with a jet of live steam.
What else can I help you with?
What is the relationship between the viscosity of oils and temperature variations?
The viscosity of oils decreases as temperature increases. This means that as the temperature rises, oils become less thick and flow more easily. Conversely, as the temperature decreases, oils become thicker and flow more slowly.
Who are some distributors of fuel oils?
Some distributors of fuel oils are GB Oils, Watson Petroleum and Butler Fuels. They all offer very competitive prices and easy term payment schedules.
What is the chemical difference between oils and waxes?
Oils are fats which are liquid at room temperature, waxes are fats which are solid at room temperature. Both waxes and oils can be emulsified. Chemicaly waxes and oils consist of hydrocarbons or esters of fatty acids, they are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. The difference in class is based on melting point and larger molecules tend to melt at higer temperatures and are more likely to be waxes, however side chains can lower melting points and hydrogen bonding can raise them. In summary the classification into oil or wax is due to the size of the hydrocarbon and its complexity.
Is essential oil saponifiable?
No, essential oils are not saponifiable because they do not contain the necessary fatty acids to undergo the saponification process. Saponification typically involves the reaction of fats or oils with an alkali to produce soap. Essential oils are concentrated extracts from plants that are not chemically similar to fats or oils.
How can you improve aniline point of an oils?
To improve the aniline point of oils, one can fractionate the oil to remove lighter components, adjust the chemical composition to increase the aromatic content, or add specific additives that can raise the aniline point. Additionally, removing any contaminants or impurities that can lower the aniline point can also help improve it.
Why is hydrogenation of vegetable oils also known as hardening of oils?
One of the effects of hydrogenating vegetable oil is to raise the melting temperature, making it a solid instead of a liquid at room temperature.
At what temperature does kerosene fr?
The ignition temperature of kerosene (#1 fuel oil) is 490 degrees fahrenheit (254C), the same as all fuel oils.
What oils can you use to stop water evaporation in swimming pools?
Here are a few suggestions out of the many possible answers to this question. Raise the air temperature in the room Raise the humidity in the air in the room Lower the water temperature in the pool Cover the pool
Why the different fraction of crude oil are collected at different temperature?
Oils collected at different temperatures produce different oils, and distillate fuels. Gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricating oils, solvents are all collected at different specific temperatures.
What A triglyceride that is liquid at room temperature?
Oils are liquid triglycerides, at room temperature that is.
Why do You pretreat?

What is the relationship between the viscosity of oils and temperature variations?
The viscosity of oils decreases as temperature increases. This means that as the temperature rises, oils become less thick and flow more easily. Conversely, as the temperature decreases, oils become thicker and flow more slowly.
How do fats differ from oils at room temperature?
Generally oils are liquid and fats are solid at room temperature
Who are some distributors of fuel oils?
Some distributors of fuel oils are GB Oils, Watson Petroleum and Butler Fuels. They all offer very competitive prices and easy term payment schedules.
What advantages does using oils and gasses have over fossil fuel?
'Oils and gasses' are fossil fuels.
What are oils you extract from the earth to use as fuel?
Biofuels
