Petroleum installations are governed by Royal Decree 2085/94 of October 20 approving the Oil Installations Regulation. This Regulation comprises general rules and additional technical instructions (ITCs), which provide specific technical requirements guaranteeing the safety of persons and goods in accordance with current technology.
At present, the following ITCs are in force:
ITC MI-IP 01 Refineries. This lays down the technical specifications to be met by oil installations for the refining, storage and distribution of propellants and liquid fuels.
ITC MI-IP 02 Storage facilities. This lays down the technical requirements to be met by storage centers for liquid petroleum products designed for bulk distribution:
To other storage facilities
To vehicle supply facilities
To storage facilities for on-site consumption
It also applies to facilities for the storage and supply of aviation fuels and facilities for the storage and supply of marine fuels.
ITC MI-IP 03 Storage facilities for consumption at the installation itself. Applies to:
Fixed industrial installations (furnace burners, etc.).
Storage facilities for mobile containers for industrial use
Heating and DHW
Fixed installations for internal use
Supply to internal transportation resources
Supply to non-vehicle machinery
ITC MI-IP 04 Installations for supply to vehicles. It lays down the technical requirements that installations for supply to vehicles must meet.
Diesel central heating systems provide communities with numerous advantages:
Boilers for collective housing are pressurized and offer much better performance than those for individual use.
The maintenance cost for the community installation is cheaper and involves fewer verification and control operations of the safety systems, as well as having no restriction on ventilation.
It is also possible to install a diesel central heating system for individual consumption that, in addition to the comfort and savings provided by the system, allows for the simultaneous control of consumption by each neighbor.
The availability of a fuel storage tank guarantees individual operation and heat in the home at all times, without fear of a cut in supply for any reason, such as the performance of work nearby.
In addition, the technology allows you to choose the temperature and heating times you want in your home.
Diesel systems are a guarantee of the future, which is why they are the most installed in Europe. These systems have incorporated the latest technology applied to heating, allowing high yields, homogeneous and personalized heating and automatic temperature programming, which means a reduction in your energy bill.
Oil is an energy of the future, which guarantees you comfortable and convenient service in your home.
The innovation of diesel heating systems is justified by the joint and constantly synchronized development of two different technologies: on one hand, new technologies in the manufacture of boilers, burners, control systems, etc. On the other hand, technological improvements introduced into the diesel fuel production process, optimizing and resulting in fuel of an increasingly high quality.
In this way, high-performance, low temperature, and condensing boilers meet their goals thanks to increasingly sulfur-free and more heat-intensive diesel. White line boilers and sealed boilers are reaching high sales levels thanks to their perfect integration into any room in the home. This type of boiler generally uses odorless diesel that does not give off the characteristic fuel smell.
Finally, the manufacture of more stable diesel fuels allows for better and longer storage, even in the new plastic material containers already permitted under the new design rules.
Diesel heating systems are the most widely used in all of Europe, both in individual and collective installations.
These are the arguments below that contribute to making these systems considered as the most advantageous.
Safety: In diesel heating systems, safety is implicit in the fuel's characteristics. Diesel has a flash point of over 60°C, making it the safest fuel on the market. This safety also results in savings in maintenance on the installation, which does not require controls as stringent as in the case of gaseous fuels.
Diesel fuels provide heating systems with an unattainable level of safety by any alternative fuel.
Economy: The cost of energy has recently become a significant part of the household economy, such that it is common in modern households for this to account for up to 10% of family expenditure.
The right choice of the type of energy to be used to meet the benefits that the user demands involves, in all cases, an assessment of the costs of investment and making best use of the alternatives to be considered.
The diesel heating system is the most economical in both individual and collective installations. Unlike other fuels, the price of heating diesel does not include fixed costs and meter rental in its rates, which have a greater or lesser impact on the price per thermal unit based on the number of houses of a centralized facility.
Independence: Diesel is stored in your community, avoiding supply cuts and providing maximum autonomy. It also has a competitive price as it is in a freely competitive market.
Comfort: Installing a single boiler and control elements, such as the ambient thermostat, guarantee you maximum comfort.
Environment: Heating diesel is a clean and environmentally friendly energy. The sulfur content, which is responsible for contaminating SO2 emissions, has been decreasing over the years to its current content, which is virtually trace elements. The remaining major contaminating emissions, NOx, CO, CO2, hydrocarbons or particulates are practically the same as for gaseous fuels.
Market: The liquid fuels market is an open market in which price, quality and service are variables that are managed to achieve competitiveness. All considerations show that heating diesel is, to date, the most competitive energy for heating systems and domestic hot water.
