[Daily Question] What types of fuel oil are commonly used in boilers? (Participation +2, correct answer +5 wealth)

(1) Crude oil: It is unrefined petroleum that is mined from the ground, dehydrated, and unrefined. Crude oil can be refined into a variety of oil products and other products, but it is extremely unreasonable to use it directly as fuel. (2) Heavy oil: It is prepared from cracked heavy oil, vacuum heavy oil, atmospheric heavy oil or wax oil in different proportions, and has certain brands and quality standards. (3) Residual oil: The residues from the petroleum refining process can be directly supplied to boilers as fuel without treatment. * It is customarily called residual oil or residual oil. Heavy oil and residual oil are the main types of liquid fuel used for power generation. Their common characteristics are: Relative density and viscosity are large ； It has a higher boiling point and flash point and is less volatile. (4)Diesel: Diesel is the fuel for diesel engines and is extremely uneconomical as boiler fuel. Diesel is generally used as ignition oil for pulverized coal boilers and fuel oil to stabilize combustion during low-load operation.
