Abstract

A device for making emulsions of water in fuel oil or in a mixture containing mainly fuel oil comprises a main body (2) forming a main duct (3) comprising a first end (4) connectable to first feeding means (6) for feeding pressurised fuel oil and a second end (5), and a secondary body (8) forming a secondary duct (9) comprising an infeed section (10) connectable to second feeding means (13) for feeding pressurised water, and an outfeed section (11) connected to an intermediate portion (12) of the main duct (3); first nebulising means (14) are mounted in the main duct (3) upstream of the intermediate portion (12), and second nebulising means (15) are mounted in the secondary duct (9); it also comprises heating means (33) operatively associated at least with the main body (2) for heating it. A method implemented by the device (1) is also claimed.
