What is oil atomized by?

Oil is atomized by a spinner or atomizer cup in an oil burner system. This component is essential for creating a fine mist of oil that can mix efficiently with air and combust effectively. The spinner or atomizer cup uses centrifugal force to disperse the oil into small droplets, which helps ensure complete combustion and maximizes the efficiency of the heating process.

An atomizing system that utilizes this method is crucial in achieving the proper air-fuel mixture that leads to efficient and clean combustion within the burner. This process not only minimizes unburned fuel but also reduces emissions, making it an important aspect of oil burner operation.

In contrast, while other options such as a pressurized nozzle and atomizing blower play important roles in the system, they are not directly responsible for the atomization process itself like the spinner or atomizer cup is. The heat exchanger also serves a different purpose, primarily in transferring heat rather than atomizing oil.
