CONT

Dans les brûleurs à pulvérisation par air ou vapeur, la pulvérisation est provoquée par la rencontre d'un jet de combustible et d'un jet d'air ou de vapeur à grande vitesse qui peut être animé d'un mouvement tourbillonnaire. Les jets peuvent être coaxiaux ou se rencontrer sous des directions différentes. Si le fluide auxiliaire est l'air, il est fourni par un ventilateur; s'il s'agit de vapeur, il provient de la chaudière.
