What kind of oil is diesel heater oil?
1 Answers
Diesel heater oil is a type of heat transfer oil, which serves as an organic heat carrier. It can be categorized by its structure into hydrocarbons, ethers, alcohols, fluorocarbons, silicone oils, halogenated hydrocarbons, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Heat transfer oils are also classified by their state into liquid-phase and gas-phase heat transfer oils, and by their production process into mineral-based and synthetic heat transfer oils. The principle of diesel heater oil involves the diesel pump drawing diesel from the fuel tank and delivering it to the combustion chamber, where the ignition plug ignites the air-fuel mixture. The exhaust gases from the combustion of diesel in the chamber are expelled through the exhaust port. The outer wall of the combustion chamber is made of aluminum alloy with heat-dissipating fins for rapid heat conduction, and a fan directly blows air over the combustion chamber to distribute the hot air.
