FUEL MIST [3 records]

Record 1 1990-10-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
CONT

Domestic burners... employ either one of two methods to prepare the fuel oil for combustion. These are atomization(spraying) and vaporization(heating). Atomization or spraying is divided into three types, namely, high-pressure atomization, low-pressure atomization, and centrifugal atomization... Low-pressure air atomization is also a well-known method that has been used successfully by domestic oil burners to prepare the oil for combustion. This method is peculiar to low-pressure burners. These burners achieve their objective by delivering oil and air to the nozzle at a pressure of from 1 to 15 psi, depending upon the make of the burner. With these burners the oil and air come in contact with each other before leaving the burner. The air is used to atomize the oil into fine particles, and it leaves the nozzle opening in the form of a mist.

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
CONT

Pulvérisation par l'air sous basse pression. Les brûleurs qui fonctionnent en utilisant de l'air sous basse pression sont construits pour des débits compris entre 5 et 150 kg/h lorsqu'il s'agit de pulvérisateurs statiques et entre 5 et 1 500 kg/h pour les pulvérisateurs rotatifs (coupelle rotative).

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
  • Gas and Oil Heating
CONT

Domestic burners... employ either one of two methods to prepare the fuel oil for combustion. These are atomization(spraying) and vaporization(heating). Atomization or spraying is divided into three types, namely, high-pressure atomization, low-pressure atomization, and centrifugal atomization. With high-pressure atomization used by high-pressure gun-type burners, the oil pressure is built up to 100 psi by a pump and delivered through an oil line to a specially designed nozzle from which it sprays out into the combustion chamber in a vaporous cloud of tiny globules or droplets. This mist of fine oil droplets is met by a current of air moving down the blast(gun) tube, and the oil and air mix in the combustion chamber after leaving the burner. Ignition is accomplished with an electric spark.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
  • Chauffage au gaz et au mazout
CONT

Pulvérisation par l'air sous haute pression. Les brûleurs qui sont étudiées pour l'utilisation de l'air sous haute pression, donnent une pulvérisation très fine qui se traduit par une combustion rapide particulièrement appréciée pour les applications qui demandent une extrême localisation de la chaleur.

Record 3 1987-10-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
CONT

... return-flow atomizer.... The fuel flows through tangentially disposed slots in a "sprayer plate"... into a "whirl" chamber from which it issues through an orifice of the sprayer plate as a fine conical mist or spray.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
CONT

Pulvérisation mécanique. Le distributeur [du combustible dans le brûleur] porte les canaux tangentiels, la pastille porte l'orifice de sortie; ces pièces sont fixées par un écrou sur la tête de pulvérisation.
