Synopsis
This book introduces a method for using heavy residual oil as fuel in kitchen ranges and steam boilers. The author's focus, driven by the scarcity of coal during wartime, is on using this fuel for domestic purposes and presents the technical and logistical challenges of burning oil in existing ranges. The author provides a detailed history of oil production, combustion methods, and early attempts at oil-burning apparatus. The book then examines the principles of oil combustion, focusing on three methods: Open hearth, vaporizing, and atomizing. The problems of atomization, air supply, and temperature are considered, leading to the author's development of an oil burner for kitchen ranges that met the specified criteria. The book concludes with a detailed description of the author's oil-burning system's application to large institutional kitchens and steam boilers, including diagrams to demonstrate the apparatus and its installation. By presenting practical methods for using oil as an alternative to coal, this book will interest those researching combustion or fuel history and those seeking to understand the domestic use of heavy oils.
