Nozzle Design Features
Home > Oil Burner Nozzles > Nozzle Design Features

Nozzle Body - The nozzle body is constructed from a specially formulated stainless steel in order to achieve long wear life and lower internal surface temperatures than low cost brass or similar high conductivity materials. Lower surface temperatures reduce heat transfer thus minimizing varnish accumulation and carbon deposits. Reduced heat absorption within the nozzle body is especially critical with today's smaller and hotter operating combustion conditions.

Valve Jacket - Round fuel inlet holes reduce the possibility of particle contamination while achieving a uniform flow and distribution of fuel oil through the nozzle. All nozzles contain an exclusive nickel alloy treated jacket assuring improved wear and corrosion resistance. The nickel alloy treated jacket provides a non-magnetic surface offering a smooth fuel delivery.

Dyna-Coin Process - The Dyna-Coin® process provides a high quality finish for a perfect seating surface between the metering valve and the nozzle body. This assures consistent, accurate fuel delivery.

Sintered Bronze Filters - Are designed to provide maximum filtration capabilities. Bronze filters are furnished on all standard nozzles, .40 G.P.H. thru 15.00 G.P.H. (1, 51 thru 57, 0 l/h). Nozzles 16.00 G.P.H. (61,0 l/h) and larger are furnished less filters.

Nozzle Design and Operating Considerations - Nominal nozzle flow capacities are based on an operating pressure of 100 P.S.I. (6.9 Bar). Operation at higher pressures increases flow capacities. The effects of pressure, viscosity, density, grade and especially burner configurations, are important in the design and operating performance characteristics of oil fired equipment.
