Fuel-fired heaters heat solids, liquids or gases during a production process. Coal, coke, wood, charcoal, bagasse are examples of solid fuel. Liquid fuel includes gasoline, alcohol, kerosene, diesel, bunker and other fuel oils. Gaseous fuel examples are natural gas, producer gas, liquefied petroleum gas, methane, ethane, propane, and acetylene.
A company may supply all types of fuel-fired heaters from small vertical cylindrical furnaces to complex steam reformers. Specific examples of fuel-fired heaters are coal and wood burning furnaces, coke furnaces, oil-fired furnaces, oil-fired heaters (particularly space heaters or paraffin-diesel heaters), oil-fired burners, oil-fired boilers, oil-fired water heaters, gas-fired furnaces, gas-fired fireplaces, gas-fired water heaters, gas-fired stoves, gas-fired sauna heaters, and gas-fired dryers. Steam reformers, steam superheaters, waste heat recovery units, air heaters, kerosene heaters, radiant heaters, steam boilers, ovens, ceramic hearth char-broilers, fireplaces and stoves including real flame gas fires and radiant gas fires, comfort heaters, flame immersion heaters (used in hazardous areas), and drum and tote heaters are also fuel-fired heaters. Cheaper and environment-friendly are heatwave waste oil heaters which utilize used oil for fuel.
Fuel-fired heaters are designed and manufactured for people’s use and comfort indoors or outdoors, in small or big places. There are swimming pool heaters, patio heaters, and radiant floor heating systems warming many homes. Moreover, there are portable heaters used in building sites for warming workers.
