What are the advantages of liquid fuels
- High energy density and easy metering
Typical LHV:
- Diesel/light oil: about (varies slightly by grade)
Stable quality and accurate flow metering make automatic control and stable heat load easy.
-
Convenient supply and regulation
Pipeline delivery and valve control are fast; suitable for kilns requiring frequent temperature changes or zone control. -
Relatively controllable cleanliness
Compared with high-ash solid fuels: less fly ash; but attention is needed for sulfur and heavy metals (especially heavy oil) that drive emissions and corrosion. -
Flame shape can be tailored
By burner design (swirl, atomization method, staged air), you can realize long/short flames and radiation- or convection-dominant heat transfer.
