Oil-fired boilers include oil-fired water heaters, oil-fired hot water boilers, oil-fired heating boilers, oil-fired bathing boilers, and oil-fired steam boilers. Oil-fired boilers refer to boilers that use light oil (such as diesel, kerosene), heavy oil, residual oil, or crude oil as fuel. Compared with gas-fired boilers and electrically heated boilers, oil-fired boilers are more economical to operate than electrically heated boilers and more convenient to use than gas-fired boilers. Oil-fired boilers can be divided into light oil boilers and heavy oil boilers depending on the type of fuel oil used. Light oil refers to diesel or kerosene, while heavy oil refers to the heavy residual oil left after extracting gasoline and diesel from crude oil. According to their usage, oil-fired boilers can be divided into oil-fired water heaters, oil-fired hot water boilers, oil-fired heating boilers, oil-fired bathing boilers, and oil-fired steam boilers.
Differences between oil-fired boilers and gas-fired boilers:
The fuel for oil-fired boilers is oil (such as diesel, motor oil, kerosene, etc.), while the fuel for gas-fired boilers is gas (such as natural gas, city gas, biogas, etc.). The device that determines what fuel the boiler burns is called a burner. Boilers equipped with gas burners are called gas-fired boilers, while boilers equipped with oil burners are called oil-fired boilers. The difference between oil-fired boilers and gas-fired boilers lies in the type of fuel burner used.
