More Information
Summary:A fuel heating apparatus for vessel is provided to prevent the viscosity degradation of heavy fuel oil since the heat tube in which the heavy fuel oil exchanges heat with outside steam is bent or curved so that the heat transfer area is expanded. A fuel heating apparatus for vessel comprises a drum(10) which is formed with a bottom plate(11), a side wall(12), and an upper plate(13) and is installed inside an oil tank; a steam supply pipe(21) and a steam exhaust pipe(22) mounted on the bottom of the drum to face each other; and a heat pipe(30) which is installed in the drum and forms a fuel channel so that the heavy fuel oil exchanges heat with the steam supplied through the steam supply pipe and maintains the temperature and viscosity. The heat tube comprises an upper fixed part which is formed straight, a middle connection part which is bent at 10~25‹, and a lower fixed part which is formed straight.
