ağır yağ

listen to the pronunciation of ağır yağ
Turkish - English
heavy oil
Early, generally pre-kerosene fuels of a much higher viscosity Includes: whale oil; vegetable oils like Colza; various byproduct greases like bacon grease; lard and other rendered animal fat oils These high viscosity fuels often need to be preheated before they were sufficiently liquid to be wicked by capillary action Transportation lighting continued to use fuels like these (engine oil and heavier fuel oils) for railroad car, ship, signal and even terminal lighting well into the age of electricity because they were not as susceptible to explosion, didn't slop around as much as thinner fuels, and were readily available because of motive power fuel or lubrication requirements
The fuel oils remaining after the lighter oils have been distilled during the refining process Except for start-up and flame stabilization, virtually all petroleum used in steam plants is heavy oil
A type of crude petroleum characterized by high viscosity and a high carbon-to-hydrogen ration It is usually difficult and costly to produce by conventional techniques
The fuel oils remaining after the lighter oils have been distilled off during the refining process Except for start-up and flame stabilization, virtually all petroleum used in steam plants is heavy oil
