Abstract
Oil burners are used in a broad range of industrial plant ranging from driers, kilns, and ovens to furnaces and boilers. Burner capacity naturally varies widely. Current international standardisation work is likely to differentiate between burners below and above 36 litres/hour for purposes of recommending safe operating sequences. This chapter deals with the more common forms of industrial oil burners above this capacity.
