Mechanical Atomizers : In the mechanical atomizer, the pressure of the fuel itself is used as the means for atomization. Mechanical atomizers are available in sizes up to 180 million Btu/hr input, about 10, 000 lb of oil per hr. The acceptable operating range may be as much as ten to one or as little as three to one, depending on the maximum oil pressure used for the system, the furnace configuration, air temperature, and burner throat velocity. Return flow atomizers are ideally suited for standard grades of fuel oil where it is desired to meet load variations without changing sprayer plates or cutting burners in and out of service. 4, record 1, English, - mechanical%20atomizer

Air Atomizing Oil Burners. Except for the nozzle, this burner is similar in construction to the pressure atomizing burner. Atomizing air and oil are supplied to individual parts within the nozzle. The nozzle design allows the oil to break up into small droplet form as a result of the shear forces created by the atomizing air. The atomized oil is carried from the nozzle through the outlet orifice by the air flow into the furnace. 2, record 2, English, - air%2Datomizing%20oil%20burner

[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. 1, record 2, English, - air%2Datomizing%20oil%20burner

Brûleurs à pulvérisation par l'air. La pulvérisation est obtenue au moyen d'air fourni par un compresseur à une pression de l'ordre de quelques dixièmes de bar. Le mazout est amené au brûleur par une pompe doseuse, pompe volumétrique qui permet d'obtenir un débit constant malgré les variations de viscosité du combustible. L'air de pulvérisation ne constitue qu'une partie de l'air nécessaire à la combustion. Le surplus est fourni par un ventilateur. 5, record 2, French, - br%C3%BBleur%20%C3%A0%20pulv%C3%A9risation%20par%20air
