Gas Burner Boilers and Their AdvantagesGas Burner Boilers and Their Advantages
Gas burner boilers, also known as oil burners or combi-burners, boil oil or kerosene to generate heat. The kind of gas burner used largely depends on the location of the burner and the required heating requirements of the jobstation. There are many different styles of gas burners available for use at homes, offices, workshops etc. Available fuels vary from natural gas to petroleum-based fuels that are liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) and propane.
Oil burners have been in vogue since the 18th century. They are economical compared to commercial gas boilers and offer safe, reliable and instant operation. However, not all houses and factories need them and in such cases, diesel burner boilers or the more commonly preferred medium-sized light oil burner are more suitable. For any site-specific application, it is advisable to consult with an expert.
Medium-sized oil burners can be fitted with a single-stage or multi-stage heater. Single-stage units have a single burner that heats the vessel only. Multi-stage units, like those from Burner Combustion Systems, have two burners for maximum efficiency. Heaters can be switched on and off as per requirement. Edible oil burner boilers, being a highly efficient electrical device, are popular choices. To meet the growing energy demands, electric boilers are designed to run efficiently on natural gas, propane or electricity.
