HVF Viscosity High viscosity fuels are products generating combustion from other industries residues and are used for economic reasons. Variations within high viscosity fuels are commonplace considering their origins and additives. These products are usually solid at room temperature and liquid at their working temperature. HVF are used for energy production, industrial and central district heating, and manufacturing companies like… Read more
Why control engine oil? One of the biggest field of innovation for the industry is the control of engine oil. Engine lubricants are complex and highly technical fluids that perform various protective and functional tasks. They provide a hydrodynamic film between moving components, including heat distribution, suspension of contaminants, neutralization of acids and corrosion prevention, etc. To prevent engine failure,… Read more
Control of very high viscosity fuels The non-homogeneity of very high viscosity fuels is the first factor to be corrected to ensure stable combustion processes. Very high viscosity fuel cannot be burned without a viscometer because of the high disparity of the product. Viscosity control before injection is essential and requires heating of the fuel. The main problem with burning… Read more
