Improvement in the viscosity characteristics of boiler oil by additives
The viscosity of a mixture of fuel oil with the liquid additive Diproxamine and a solid additive based on the carbonate sludge of water treatment has been experimentally studied. It has been found that these additives affect the viscosity characteristics of fuel oil. The economic efficiency of automated systems for dispensing the solid and liquid additives in fuel oil has been evaluated.
