What role does the nozzle play in an oil burner?

The nozzle in an oil burner is crucial because it atomizes the oil, breaking it into fine droplets, and mixes it with air to create a combustible mixture for efficient combustion. This atomization is essential as it increases the surface area of the oil, helping it to ignite more readily and burn completely. The proper mixing of oil and air affects the efficiency of the burner and the quality of combustion, impacting factors such as emissions and operation stability.

In the context of oil burners, the nozzle’s design, including its spray pattern and flow rate, is optimized for specific burner applications to ensure effective combustion. By delivering the right amount of oil and ensuring efficient air mixing, the nozzle plays a pivotal role in the overall performance of the heating system.
