Correct viscosity of furnace oil at the burner tip for proper atomisation is about 25 centistokes. To reduce the viscosity of high viscosity furnace oil (250 centistokes) to the correct atomisation viscosity (i.e. 25 cst), it should be preheated to about ______________°C?

Question

Accepted Answer

105. Preheating the oil to around 105°C is generally required to reduce its high viscosity (250 cst) down to the optimal range of about 25 centistokes for good atomization.
