Analysis of constructions and methods of calculation of fuel oil burners for heating systems

Purpose. This article aims to show the principle and methodology of developing simple fuel oil burners for autonomous heating boilers that will provide room and water heating, making buildings independent of centralized heat supply. Design / Method / Approach. The research is based on the analysis of existing data on modern heating systems and their calculation methods for the synthesis of simple and compact solutions for the development of new burners. Findings. The result of the work is the disclosure of the operating principles of fuel oil burners, a comparison of their advantages and disadvantages. Based on these data, the simplest and most appropriate type of construction was chosen. The method of its calculation was revealed, which allows you to find its key dimensions and characteristics of the flame torch, which can be used for further calculation of the firebox based on this burner. Theoretical Implications. The study deepens the understanding of the principles of operation of liquid fuel burners and offers a new approach to their calculation, which can be the basis for further scientific developments in this field. Practical Implications. The disclosed method for calculating the burner makes it possible to obtain its dimensions and the characteristics of the flame torch in the furnace when the input parameters are changed. This makes it possible to quickly select the optimal option for various input data of the heating system without limiting yourself to the case presented in the article Originality / Value. The novelty of the work is the creation of a relatively simple methodology for calculating fuel oil burners, which allows you to quickly develop optimal solutions for various heating systems. Specific numerical values ​​allow you to compare the obtained system with analogues to identify its advantages and disadvantages. Research Limitations / Future Research. This study is somewhat limited in detail regarding some specific feed and combustion systems. This is due to their narrow role in heating systems, which are characteristic only for industrial enterprises and sea transport. The data obtained from this work will be the basis for calculating the heating boiler.
