Combustion of vegetable oils under optimized conditions of atomization and granulometry in a modified fuel oil burner

Effect of Waste Cooking - Diesel Oils Blends on Performance, Emissions and Combustion Characteristics of Industrial Oil Burner

“…Utilization of waste cooking oil as an alternative fuel in oil burners allows facing the challenges of rising diesel oil prices, reducing gradual depletion of fossil fuel, saving imported fuel from abroad with foreign currency and reduction of exhaust emissions that cause global warming to our planet. Fossil fuel has consumed in different section such as transport, agriculture, commercial, domestic, and industrial sectors for the generation of power mechanical energy [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…These two physical properties are the major obstacles of adequate atomization, so, oil preheating is necessary for efficient combustion. Furthermore, during the startup and shut down process the usage of a more volatile fuel might solve all the practical problems [2,4]. Tashtoush et al investigated combustion characteristics of ethyl ester derived from waste vegetable oil in a boiler [5].…”

“…Kiat Ng and Gan made experimental investigations on exhaust emissions and performance at constant fuel flow rate and at various flue gas oxygen contents.They also evaluated CO and NO x emissions levels of palm oil methyl ester and its blend in a combustion chamber at different fuel pressures in the boiler [12,13,14]. Lee et al [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] verified using of B20 soy bean oil methyl ester in a residential oil fired burner. They compared the levels of emissions such as CO and NO of B20 with oil preheating.…”

“…They compared the levels of emissions such as CO and NO of B20 with oil preheating. Vanlaningham et al [1][2][3][4][5][6] verified the performance of B20 soy bean oil methyl ester as preheated fuel and studied exhaust emissions levels of NO x . Ghorbani et al [16][17] accomplished a comparative study of combustion performance and exhaust emission of biodiesel blends of B5, B10, B20, B50, B80 and B100 and diesel fuels in an oil boiler.…”

“…Ghorbani et al [16][17] accomplished a comparative study of combustion performance and exhaust emission of biodiesel blends of B5, B10, B20, B50, B80 and B100 and diesel fuels in an oil boiler. Bazooyar et al [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] investigated combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions of diesel and vegetable oils in a semi industrial boiler. They studied the effect of fuel pressure and air-fuel ratios on exhaust emissions and combustion characteristics.…”
