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 1, 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 1, 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 1, French, - br%C3%BBleur%20%C3%A0%20pulv%C3%A9risation%20par%20air

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.... 1, record 2, English, - low%20pressure%20air%20atomizing%20burner

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. 2, record 2, English, - low%20pressure%20air%20atomizing%20burner

Brûleurs à pulvérisation directe. (...) Le niveau de pression utilisé pour la pulvérisation (15 m bar à 1 bar et plus) différencie les brûleurs en basse, moyenne et haute pression. Plus la pression est élevée, plus le débit de l'air pulvérisant est faible et plus il est nécessaire de faire apport d'air comburant (le ventilateur doit être à même de fournir l'air primaire et l'air secondaire). Pour les brûleurs à haute pression qui équipent les chaudières à tube foyer et à tube de fumée, le ventilateur est généralement dissocié du brûleur. 1, record 3, French, - br%C3%BBleur%20%C3%A0%20haute%20pression
