vedelkütusepõleti

A vedelkütusepõleti, often translated as a liquid fuel burner or oil burner, is a device designed to combust liquid fuels for heating purposes. These burners are commonly used in central heating systems for residential and commercial buildings, as well as in industrial applications such as boilers and furnaces. The primary function of a vedelkütusepõleti is to atomize the liquid fuel and mix it with air in the correct proportion to achieve efficient combustion, producing heat.

The combustion process typically involves several stages. First, the liquid fuel is pumped from a storage tank to the burner. Inside the burner, a nozzle atomizes the fuel into fine droplets, creating a spray. Simultaneously, a fan or blower supplies air to the combustion chamber. An ignition system, often an electric spark or a glow plug, ignites the atomized fuel-air mixture. Once ignited, the flame is sustained by the continuous supply of fuel and air.

Various types of liquid fuels can be used, including heating oil (like light or heavy fuel oil), kerosene, and sometimes even biofuels. The design of the vedelkütusepõleti varies depending on the type of fuel, the required heat output, and the specific application. Common components include a fuel pump, nozzle, igniter, fan, and a combustion chamber. Safety features are crucial, such as flame sensors that shut down the burner if the flame is extinguished, and safety valves to prevent fuel leaks. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and servicing of the nozzle and ignition system, is essential for optimal performance and longevity.
