注意市场上加热油质量变化的原因。指出只有通过优化燃料质量和燃烧器技术以及加热设备本身，才能从燃烧系统中获得最大效率。描述了使用不同燃烧器设计（传统铸铁头燃烧器、火焰保持头锅炉和先进设计的高压燃烧器）对具有不同特性（如粘度和芳烃）的多种燃料进行的评估。详细检查瞬态冷启动操作的某些整体燃烧特性——燃烧器点火行为、由摄像机监控的火焰特性、气体和颗粒排放以及压力变化。还评估了稳态和循环运行时的燃烧性能。以及燃烧系统对室内空气质量的潜在影响。 关键词:锅炉，燃油燃烧器，加拿大，研究，燃油锅炉，燃烧，燃油加热，室内，空气质量，效率。引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第96卷，pt。1990年3月2日，圣路易斯

Notes reasons for the changing quality of heating oil in the market place. States that maximum efficiency can only be attained from a combustion system by optimising fuel quality and burner technology as well as the heating appliance itself. Describes the evaluation of a number of fuels that have distinct properties such as viscosity and aromatics using different burner designs - a conventional cast-iron head burner, a flame-retention head boiler and an advanced-design high-pressure burner. Examines certain overall combustion characteristics for transient cold-start operation in detail - burner ignition behaviour, flame characteristics as monitored by a video camera, gaseous and particulate emissions, as well as pressure changes. Also evaluates combustion performance at steady-state and cyclic operation. Interprets the results in terms of fuel properties, burner design, combustion air requirements and potential problems in indoor air quality, as well as effect on optimal system efficiency.KEYWORDS: Boilers, oil burners, Canada, research, oil fired boilers, combustion, oil heating, indoor, air quality, efficiency.
