What’s The Difference Between A Waste Oil Furnace And A Waste Oil Boiler?

If you’ve been searching for ways to cut your business’s heating costs, you might have heard about the benefits of waste oil heating. You also might have heard the terms “waste oil furnace” and “waste oil boiler” used interchangeably.

Ultimately, both save companies money by converting used petroleum products (crankcase oil, automatic transmission fluid, and hydraulic fluid) into free heat for their facilities.

But they’re not the same in how they accomplish heating waste oil and how they disperse the heat that they generate.

What Is A Waste Oil Furnace?

A waste oil furnace is a forced hot air heating system. It takes in cool air, passes it over a heating element to raise its temperature, and then blows that warm air through ductwork and out vents to produce heat in a building.

What Is A Waste Oil Boiler?

A waste oil boiler is a forced hot water system. It warms water and then passes it through pipes to heat a building. Hydronic hot water systems for radiant heat are a good application for a waste oil boiler. They’re also effective for heating water at car washes and radiant floor heat for auto service centers.

Either Way, Waste Oil Heating Offers Big-Time Advantages.

If you generate your own waste petroleum products, converting them into free heat for your facility via waste oil heating can do more than just cut your energy bill. It can also save you the expense, time, and hassle of disposing your used oil through other means to meet government regulations.
