The heat transfer oil furnace is no longer in use; how can the heat transfer oil inside it be removed? It is indicated that there are 10 cubic meters of fluid inside the furnace, but only about 3 tons of compressed air comes out – how can the remaining fluid be extracted? I would appreciate the advice from all of you experts.
I’ve already used compressed air to blow it, so it probably won’t happen anymore.
Generally, the heat transfer oil in the boiler is removed through specialized oil drainage pipelines in the system; however, it is difficult to completely empty the oil from the boiler (depending on the design of the boiler, this varies). Using compressed air to remove the oil can result in a cleaner removal, but it is still hard to eliminate all the oil.
It depends on what type of boiler it is; with vertical heat transfer oil boilers, it’s generally possible to fit everything in, while with horizontal boilers, it’s usually not possible to fit everything.
Just drain the oil into the low-level tank
Blow high-pressure air in through the oil outlet and out through the oil inlet to the low-level tank
Press it into the underground tank or storage tank using nitrogen pressure.

If it’s not vertical, it’s difficult to drain completely
