Combustion of fuels oils & burner operation & maintenance
The heat generated by combustion of fuel is utilised by boiler or furnace of heating water or air or any process materialCombustion effected by a burner which mixes fuel and air in proper proportionAny petroleum is a hydro carbon, sulphur is present in significantly lower percentageCombustion products are primarily carbon dioxide, water vapour and sulphur dioxide which pass thru the chimney along with nitrogen in the airFor ideal combustion 14.1 kg of air is required for every kg of fuel for complete combustion. However, in practice since mixing is never perfect certain amount of excess air is needed to complete combustion and ensure release of entire heat contained in fuel oilToo much air will result in additional heat loss, stack lossLess air would lead to incomplete combustion and smokeHence there should be an optimum excess air level for each type of fuel which will give fuel savingAn experienced operator relies on the smoke emitted by the chimney or colour of the flame to help in adjust air at the optimum level. However, a chemical analysis of flue gas is a more objective method that helps in achieving finer air controlBy measuring carbon dioxide or oxygen in flue gases, it is possible to estimate the percentage of excess air in flue gasesSmoke indicates combustion conditionBurner selection should be done judiciouslyBurner should be dismantled and cleaned periodicallyReplace cracked burner blocks fast

God gifted us many things. He made the world and our planet Earth. On Earth, we human are undoubtedly dependent on various things. We’re also dependent to Fuel. Aren’t we? Yes we’re dependent. Fuel is a thing when heated produce energy.
We need various things for making ourselves good such as Food. For cooking food, we need fuel. So, Fuel is very important and its role is indispensable. For example: Food works like a fuel in human body. It gives energy to human body and helps in maintaining the growth and life of human and animals as well.
Fossil Fuels such as coal, petroleum, natural gas are mainly used in industries for various purposes. Electricity, the thing which we need daily as a source of energy is also produced by Fossil fuels. Rapid and Uncontrolled urbanization also has the demand of more Energy which is being produced by fuels. We can’t do much without fuels.
Combustion of fuels has a bad impact on our Environment and led to the pollution. Our environment includes birds, trees, water, air etc. We’re also willingly dependent on our Environment. Environment is clean than only we’ve fresh mind and healthy. Combustion of fossil fuels led the formation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It harms our Environment. The air is mixed with greenhouse gases and we breathe. It effects on our lives and health. It may cause respiratory diseases such as asthma and pulmonary disorder. It may also harm to our ecosystem.
The ozone layer safeguards our earth. It defend us from the ultraviolet rays coming from the sun. The combustion of fuels produces greenhouse gases which led to the depleting of ozone layer faster. This affects the earth. We’ll suffer from it.
We need a peaceful environment and a better place to live. For making our environment safe we should not use vehicles much which need more fuel. Wow! It saves our money. Let’s make people aware of walking and using more and more bicycle not any fuel consuming vehicle. We should switch off engines while waiting for traffic light.
Let’s use more and more LED bulbs and computer monitors. Let’s use CNG engines. Let’s use solar boats while travelling though water bodies. Let’s use clean renewable fuels. Let’s make our lives peaceful by saving fuel. Let’s make our future peaceful and brighter.
