Research of Heating Oil (Quality class M100) Characteristics

Abstract

Heating oil, which is heavy fuel, presents severe environmental threat in the event of its leaking into environment. Knowledge of given kind of fuel’s properties is essential condition of its combustion issues. In the article there was analyzed essential properties of heating oil, presented methods of funnel viscosity detection (GOST 6258), moisture content (GOST 2477) and density (GOST 3900). There were presented results of heating oil M100 testing, receiving from Municipal Unitary Enterprise “Yoshkar-Ola CHPP”. In accordance with indicated method was received experimental dependence of funnel viscosity from temperature. There was carrying out comparison of observed values for characteristics with standard values, which showed increased moisture content in tested heating oil. There was offered solution of increased moisture content; issue, which is effective method of watered liquid fuels recovery. Received fine dispersed diesel oil emulsion could be effectively combusted in boiler furnace.
