An Oil burner is a device for producing a fire in the firebox of a boiler in order to produce steam. They typically take oil in from an oil reservoir and atomize the oil into a fine mist using steam or air pressure.
Prototypes
The conversion of UP Big Boy 4014 from coal to oil is described in this video.
