How Kerosene Finds Use As Heating Oil?

How Kerosene Finds Use As Heating Oil?

In case you are wondering about relation between kerosene and oils used for heating heaters, then stop seeing the two as two different sides. Very few people who have seen kerosene being use in jet airplanes believe that it is also use as oil for heaters. In fact, crude oils that are cheap in cost are use as heating oil to heat the system. However, in case your process requires high calorific value of oil, then use of crude kerosene oil is almost indispensable. Besides, it is cheap.

Heating Oil

Heating Oil is just another name for Red Diesel, which is a form of diesel with dye added that is much cheaper than automotive white diesel. It is commonly used as fuel for household heating and this is where the name heating oil comes from. Heating oil solutions usually include a furnace or a boiler that runs on heating oil and supplies heat to the rest of the system. This will usually be fed red diesel from a large above-ground storage tank (AST).
For home heating installations, Birmingham Fuel Oils can deliver red diesel by tanker in any quantity necessary to top up an AST and they can ship heating oil to any location in the UK. As one of the country's leading suppliers of red diesel or heating oil, they also offer extremely good prices on all their fuel oil products.

Heating Oil
Commonly used to describe the use of Domestic Oil this has also become another name for the oil itself. Domestic Oil and Heating Oil are the same fuel just with slightly different names that both accurately describe the oil and where/how it is used.

Kerosene
Again kerosene is just another name for Domestic Oil. Kerosene is the technical name for the fuel and can also be sometimes called Kerosine. Some dialects call this fuel Paraffin or Paraffin Oil instead of Kerosene such as South Africa. This is not to be confused with Paraffin Wax or the more viscous (thick) variety of Paraffin laxative.

Red Diesel
Red Diesel is another name for Domestic Oil and should not be confused with regular diesel for automobiles. Diesel and Red Diesel have slightly different compositions to each other as Diesel is designed for use in cars and other vehicles whereas Red Diesel should only be used as Domestic Oil such as Home Heating Oil. Red Diesel will always have a red colour to varying strengths as opposed to regular Diesel.
