Abstract:
1. An apparatus for increasing the efficiency of an oil burning system, comprising: a pump having a pump inlet and a pump outlet, the pump inlet in fluid communication with a source of oil based fuel, said pump for receiving the oil based fuel at the pump inlet at a first pressure and discharging the oil based fuel through the pump outlet at a second pressure higher than the first pressure, wherein the second pressure is at least 200 psi; an accumulator having an accumulator inlet in fluid communication with the pump outlet and an accumulator outlet, said accumulator for absorbing pulsations in the oil based fuel discharged by said pump; a pre-heater having a pre-heater inlet in fluid communication with the accumulator outlet and a pre-heater outlet, said pre-heater for heating the oil based fuel to one or both of a desired temperature and a desired viscosity; and an oil burner nozzle in fluid communication with the pre-heater outlet for receiving and atomizing the oil based fuel and delivering the oil based fuel to a burner.
