Original Abstract

The present paper is focused on experimental study of combustion of liquid fuels. Liquid fuels can be categorized as standardized fuels made of oil and as non-standardized fuels coming from renewable sources or as residues from oil or coal processing. At present period mainly liquid fuels from renewable sources are more often discussed as the source of thermal energy, which can be utilized in other processes. In this paper the study is focused on one standardized fuel, namely extra light heating oil (ELHO), and two non-standardized fuels, namely rapeseed oil and distilling residue of fatty acid methyl ester of rapeseed oil (DRME). The main aim of the performed research is to provide experimentally the performance of different liquid fuels at heat duty about 1 MW. The study is carried out at an advanced burner-testing facility for testing gas and liquid fuel burners. There is no need for preheating of extra light fuel oil since its viscosity is sufficiently low. On the other hand the studied non-standardized fuels need preheating up to 70 degrees Celsius prior to entering the burner. The investigation focuses on the influence of kind of fuel and burner operating parameters on the flame stability, the flame shape and the complete combustion.
