oil burners

Fuel-burning heaters

Oil burners are devices that atomize and ignite fuel oil to produce heat, typically for home heating systems or industrial furnaces.

The burner sprays oil as a fine mist, mixing it with air for efficient combustion.

In slang, oil burner is a derogatory term for an old, worn-out car that burns excessive engine oil and produces visible exhaust smoke: That old oil burner of his leaves a trail everywhere he goes.
