Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
CONT

The low pressure air atomizing burner uses comparatively large volumes of air at low pressure(5 psi or less). Air from the lower passes through the burner body and is discharged through annular slots between the body and the nozzle tip, where it meets the film of oil at an angle as it issues from the tip. The impact of the air stream upon the oil film produces a fine mist which is projected into the combustion space. These burners may be fired with light or heavy oil. They are most often used to fire industrial heating and processing furnaces....

OBS

These [low-pressure] 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.

Record 3 1990-08-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
CONT

In the steam atomizing burner, atomization is accomplished by the impact and expansion of steam. Oil and steam flow in separate channels through the burner gun to the nozzle where the steam and oil mix before being discharged through an orifice into the combustion space. This type of burner is used mainly on large boilers generating steam at 100 psi and higher and having capacities above 12, 000, 000 Btu per hr input...

OBS

[The] atomizing oil burner [is] an oil burner which delivers fuel oil to the combustion zone in the form of tiny droplets. It uses some form of nozzle or orifice to spray the oil into the combustion chamber. An atomizing oil burner is classified by the medium used to break up the oil into fine particles.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
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.

OBS

Brûleur à pulvérisation par fluide auxiliaire; fluide auxiliaire : air, vapeur ou gaz.
