Fuel oils stove

Distillate Fuels. Among these are stove gasoline (torches or lamps), tractor fuels, domestic fuel oils (stove or furnace), industrial distilled fuels, spray oils, insecticide, smudge oil, straw oil, absorption oil, and gas oil. Table 3-18 presents the propertie of these not closely specified oils. In northern New Jersey the average quality of No. 2 heating oil has been... 

Air for the hot blast may also be considered a raw material. The air is preheated in stoves to between 900 and 1300°C. Over 1.5 t of air is required to produce 11 of hot metal (pig iron). SoHd, Hquid, or gaseous fuels, eg, coal, fuel oil, or natural gas, may be added to the hot blast at the tuyeres to replace some of the coke. Oxygen may also be added to the hot blast to increase flame temperature. 

Domestic fuel oils are those used primarily in the home and include kerosene, stove oil, and furnace fuel oil. Diesel fuel oils are also distillate fuel oils, but residual oils have been successhjlly used to power marine diesel engines, and mixtures of distillates and residuals have been used on locomotive diesels. Heavy fuel oils include a variety of oils, ranging from distillates to residual oils, that must be heated to 260°C or higher before they can be used. In general, heavy fuel oil consists of residual oil blended with distillate to suit specific needs. Heavy fuel oil includes various industrial oils and, when used to fuel ships, is called bunker oil. 

The heavy end distillates and residues are blended into fuel oils that respond to different specification grades [113]. A summary of the market specifications is provided in Table 9. Grades 1 and 2 are distillate grades, while higher grades are mainly residuals, the former are applied in domestic uses (outdoor stoves and heating oil, respectively) and the latter for industrial (marine, bunker and power, respectively). Fuel oil No. 4 is a blend of domestic and industrial fuel oils meant for small industries uses. 

Fuel oils are petroleum products that are used in many types of engines, lamps, heaters, furnaces, stoves, and as solvents. Fuel oils come from crude petroleum and are refined to meet specifications for each use. Fuel oils are mixtures of aliphatic (open chain and cyclic compounds that are similar to open chain compounds) and aromatic (benzene and compounds similar to benzene) petroleum hydrocarbons. In addition, they may contain small amounts of nitrogen, sulfur, and other elements as additives. The exact chemical composition (i.e., precise percentage of each constituent) of each of the fuel oils discussed in this profile may vary... 

There are limited epidemiological data regarding carcinogenicity in humans following chronic inhalation exposure to kerosene. In one case-control study, there was no association between the use of kerosene stoves for cooking and bronchial cancer in nonsmoking women (Chan et al. 1979). In another case-control study, there was no association between renal cell cancer and occupational exposure to fuel oils. 

Limited epidemiological information exists for carcinogenicity in humans following inhalation exposure to kerosene (vapor) (Chan et al. 1979) and other fuel oils such as diesel fuel (vapor) (Partanen et al. 1991). These studies either test kerosene exposure by use of kerosene stoves, and so are limited for the same reasons as the respiratory studies described above, or measure fuel oil exposures according to occupation. In the latter case, confounding from exposure to other chemicals, such as gasoline, exists. Both studies are limited since the duration and level of fuel oil exposure were not identified. Other available data are also reported to be inadequate to assess the carcinogenic potential of fuel oils (lARC 1989 Lam and Du 1988). 

But stove oil, if not carefully used, left an oily flavor in carrots. Synthetic rubber reduced the need for guayule. Fuel oil prices had advanced to a level that almost prohibited their use for weed control. The future of oil in the herbicide field was in doubt. Yet farmers needed oil sprays for their irrigation systems, which were infesting their fields with weeds, and for their fence lines, which were harboring thrips and other insects and diseases. These problems of research were undertaken by the agricultural experiment stations in California, Massachusetts, New York, and other states. 

Fuel Oils Refined petroleum products having specific gravities in the range from 0.85-0.98 and flash points greater than 55°C includes furnace, auto diesel, and stove fuels, plant or industrial heating fuels and various bunker fuels.

Kerosene is the lightest straight fuel oil in the distillate category and has uses, which range from lamp oils, to light stove oils, and diesel fuels for use in Arctic service. Pour points of below —50°C are the attraction of kerosene for low temperature diesel fuel applications. A small addition of lubricating oil stocks is made to diesel fuel in this service. 

Fuel oil is a yellowish to light brown liquid mixture that is refined from crude petroleum. Some chemicals found in fuel oil may evaporate easily, while others may more easily dissolve in water. Fuel oils may be found in engines, lamps/lanterns, heaters, furnaces, and stoves, or as solvents. Typically, a Fuel oil can contain more than 150 chemicals, including small amounts of benzene, toluene, and sometimes lead. 

That can be the case with carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, tasteless, colorless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels such as natural gas, fuel oil, charcoal, or wood. It can be emitted by any improperly installed or poorly maintained combustion source such as unvented kerosene or gas space heaters, furnaces, wood stoves, gas stoves, fireplaces, or water heaters. 

This category comprises conventional LPG (commercial propane and butane), home-heating oil and heavy fuels. All these materials are used to produce thermal energy in equipment whose size varies widely from small heaters or gas stoves to refinery furnaces. Without describing the requirements in detail for each combustion system, we will give the main specifications for each of the different petroleum fuels. 

Kerosene is heavier than gasoline and lighter than gas oil. The lighter portion of kerosene is most suitable as an illuminant for lamps. The heavier portions of kerosene traditionally have been used as stove oil. Since the 1950s, kerosene has been used as a major component in jet fuel.

Most alkanes are obtained from the separation of crude oil into various fractions, depending on their boiling points. The first four alkanes are gases. Methane is the main component of natural gas. Propane and butane are also used as fuels. Propane is used for home heating, stoves, and clothes dryers and as a fuel in specially adapted vehicles. The next four alkanes—pentane through octane—are liquids. Various forms of these alkanes are the main constituents of gasoline. Alkanes from nonane (9 carbons) to the 16-carbon hexadecane are used in kerosene and in diesel and jet fuel.
