Gicleur. La fonction d'un gicleur est de diviser le fuel-oil en très fines gouttelettes et de projeter celles-ci suivant certaines données (cône de pulvérisation, angle du cône). Principe de fonctionnement. Le mazout arrive sous pression au gicleur. L'énergie sous forme de pression ne peut diviser le combustible. Il faut la transformer en énergie de vitesse. Le mazout est dirigé sur des rainures qui débouchent tangentiellement dans une chambre de giration. A. Le fuel, après son passage dans les canaux, acquiert une grande vitesse de rotation dans la chambre de giration. A son passage dans l'orifice, la rotation est très rapide. A sa sortie, du fait de la force centrifuge, le fuel s'éloigne de l'axe de rotation x et forme un cône. A la limite, la nappe de fuel se rompt en gouttelettes très fines. [...] Les gicleurs sont munis d'un filtre. 4, record 4, French, - gicleur
