õlipõleti

õlipõleti is an Estonian term that translates to "oil burner" in English. It refers to a device designed to burn fuel oil for the purpose of generating heat. These devices are commonly used in heating systems for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The primary function of an õlipõleti is to atomize fuel oil, mix it with air, and then ignite the mixture to produce a flame. This flame then transfers heat to a heat exchanger, which in turn heats water or air for distribution.

The operation of an õlipõleti typically involves several key components. A fuel pump draws oil from a storage tank and delivers it under pressure to the nozzle. The nozzle atomizes the oil into a fine mist. A blower or fan supplies combustion air, which is mixed with the atomized oil. An ignition system, such as an electric igniter or glow plug, initiates the combustion process. Safety controls monitor the operation, ensuring efficient and safe burning, and shutting down the unit if any parameters are outside normal limits.

Various types of fuel oils can be used in õlipõletid, including light heating oil, diesel fuel, and sometimes heavier residual oils, depending on the specific design and application of the burner. Maintenance is crucial for the efficient and reliable operation of an õlipõleti, involving regular cleaning of the nozzle, electrodes, and filters, as well as adjustments to air and fuel settings. Proper maintenance helps to maximize heat output, minimize fuel consumption, and reduce emissions.
