Swirl type pressure fuel atomizer
First Claim
1. A burner assembly comprising a housing having a passage for receiving fuel at one end thereof, a nozzle tip extending from said housing and defining an outlet opening in communication with the other end of said passage, and means for imparting a swirl to said fuel as it passes to said nozzle tip for discharge through said outlet, said nozzle tip being frustro-conical in shape and having a plurality of sawtooth-shaped grooves formed therein, each groove defined by a first wall extending from the end of said tip and located in a plane including the longitudinal axis of the tip and a second wall which extends from the base of said first wall to the first wall of an adjacent groove, to divide the fuel discharging from said nozzle tip into a plurality of separate spray patterns.

Abstract
An improvement of a swirl type fuel atomizer is disclosed in which a plurality of notches are equiangularly formed around an opening of a single-nozzle hole so that the liquid fuel injected may be divided into a plurality of fuel spray patterns. The complete combustion with a relatively low temperature may be ensured so that the emission of nitrogen oxides may be substantially eliminated or reduced.
