PERFECCIONAMIENTOS INTRODUCIDOS EN UNA INSTALACION DE SUMINISTRO DE ACEITE COMBUSTIBLE PESADO A UN QUEMADOR DE BAJA PRESION, JUNTO CON UN METODO CORRESPONDIENTE.

摘要

An oil delivery system for supplying heavy oil from a source that is contaminated with water to burners (34,336). Control apparatus (8, 14) heats the heavy oil solution until it is preheated above the saturation temperature of water at the pressure in a de-watering tank (18) which is connected to the control apparatus and receives the preheated heavy oil solution. The tank (18) is maintained at a pressure sufficient to permit any liquid water contained in the heavy oil solution to vaporize and thus be removed from the heavy oil. A low pressure pump (26,28) delivers the de-watered heavy oil from the tank (18) to a combustion apparatus such as a marine power generator or oil burner (34,36).
