õlipõletid

õlipõletid are devices used to burn fuel oil for heating purposes. They are commonly found in residential and commercial heating systems, as well as in industrial applications. The primary function of an õlipõleti is to atomize the fuel oil and mix it with air, creating a combustible mixture that can be ignited to produce heat.

The combustion process typically involves several stages. First, the fuel oil is pumped from a storage tank to the burner unit. Inside the burner, a nozzle atomizes the oil into fine droplets, increasing its surface area for more efficient burning. Simultaneously, a fan draws in air and mixes it with the atomized oil. An ignition system, often an electric spark or a hot surface igniter, ignites the oil-air mixture. The resulting flame heats the surrounding environment or a heat exchanger, which then distributes the heat throughout a building or process.

õlipõletid vary in design and complexity depending on their application. Residential units are generally simpler and designed for lower heat outputs, while industrial burners can be much larger and more powerful, capable of handling significant fuel volumes and generating high temperatures. Modern õlipõletid often incorporate sophisticated controls to optimize efficiency, regulate flame characteristics, and ensure safe operation. These controls can manage fuel delivery, air intake, and ignition cycles to achieve the desired heating output while minimizing fuel consumption and emissions. Maintenance is crucial for the reliable and efficient operation of õlipõletid, including regular cleaning of nozzles, filters, and combustion chambers.
