At home we have a oil heating. Sadly it is nonrenewable, but we are thinking of getting a more environment friendly one in the future.
Here is some Basic knowledge about the oil heatig:
In the first step, the heating oil is pumped into the oil tank. From there it reaches the boiler via oil pipes. Its function in oil heating is to heat the oil first. Then a solenoid valve opens and the oil is atomized with the injection nozzle and sprayed into the combustion chamber. Sparks ignite the heated oil there. In the modern mode of operation of an oil heater, the oil is evaporated before it is burned. This leads to clean combustion, since the oil burns like a gas and soot formation can be minimized in this way.
