What is the pressure range for pressure-atomizing burners fired with light fuel oil?

The pressure range for pressure-atomizing burners fired with light fuel oil is correctly identified as 550 to 700 kPa. This range is essential for the efficient operation of pressure-atomizing burners, which require sufficient pressure to atomize the fuel oil effectively. The high-pressure conditions help ensure that the oil is broken into fine droplets, facilitating better combustion and energy output from the burner.

Burners operating at this pressure also benefit from improved atomization quality, which contributes to cleaner burning and reduced emissions. Achieving the right pressure is crucial; if the pressure is too low, it can lead to incomplete combustion, while too high a pressure could cause system instability or damage.

Understanding the proper pressure range for these burners is fundamental in maintaining the efficiency and safety of heating systems utilizing light fuel oil.
