La première, [répartition des gouttelettes] dite à "jet creux" (repère a), traduit un rassemblement des particules liquides sur une surface conique et sous faible épaisseur parfaitement perméable à l'air de combustion soufflé par le ventilateur du brûleur, ce qui entraîne ipso facto un excellent mélange favorisant l'apparition d'une bonne combustion.
