When - in large refineries taking place - the distillation of petroleum, including fuel oil produced. Heating oil is a liquid fuel and consists of the flame retardant components of petroleum. A German standard, DIN 51603 distinguishes between different varieties of fuel oil. The quality, according to the price of fuel oil per 100 liters, increases with increasing density and decreasing sulfur content. Also, the ratio of carbon to hydrogen plays a crucial role.
The main varieties for home consumption are: extra light fuel oil (HEL), heating oil and premium fuel oil extra light low sulfur (sulfur EL). These grades are mainly used in households for energy. Most often this extra oil is used easily. This is known therefore as "normal heating oil." According to DIN 51603-1, the maximum allowed sulfur content not more than 2.000 mg / kg. In addition, a minimum calorific needs of 42 600 kJ / kg. The total consumption of households is currently about 30%.
The average flash point is around 55 Celsius, the boiling point is between 200 Celsius and 360 degrees Celsius. This is fuel oil, like diesel, in the group of middle distillates. Due to the lower taxation of oil and associated lower heating oil, consumers tend to use fuel oil as fuel in cars and trucks. To avoid this, heating oil is dyed red. This color has on the combustion properties of no effect. In addition to the easily removable red color is used to better monitor Solvent Yellow 124th The use of fuel oil in diesel vehicles is in Germany and tax evasion. In addition, fuel oil may contain a higher sulfur content than diesel fuel. Thus, in the long term expected damage in the body.
