What is the purpose of atomization in an oil burner?

The purpose of atomization in an oil burner is to ensure complete burning of the fuel. When oil is atomized, it is broken down into small droplets that mix more readily with air. This fine mist of fuel promotes better combustion by allowing for a more uniform and efficient reaction when the fuel and air mix in the burner. Achieving complete combustion is critical not only for optimizing the heat output but also for minimizing emissions and preventing the formation of soot or other by-products that can occur from incomplete burning. Therefore, effective atomization is essential in achieving an efficient and environmentally friendly oil burner operation.
