Description

The work described in this Report was designed to study the effects on oil burner performance of alcohol addition to oil.

Specific targets identified in the RFP were:

– Can existing equipment use 100% alcohols, without modification and with acceptable performance (thermal efficiency, emission, safety)?

– Can existing equipment use oil/alcohol mixtures, without modification and with acceptable performance?

– Can performance with alcohols or alcohol/oil mixes be improved by appropriate modification: changing jets, atomizer re-positioning, etc.?

– What other problems can be identified or foreseen in either the tested units or in similar units?

The answers to these questions are presented in this report.
