Abstract

An atomizer in which oil is atomized by steam and a hollow conical pattern of oil is emitted for combustion and applicable to boiler firing. Oil and steam flows pass through intersecting passages so that atomization occurs before the oil and steam mixture enters an annular chamber; or the flows intersect at or adjacent entry to the chamber. Further mixing occurs in the chamber from which the mixture is emitted.
