Abstract:
1. A fuel oil atomizer, comprising: an elongated outer member having a first end, a second end, and a central opening, the first end of the outer member having a means for communicating with an atomizing fluid supply; an, elongated inner member having a first end, a second end, and a central opening, the first end of the inner member having a means for communicating with a fuel supply and the central opening of the inner member being a fuel supply conduit, the inner member being coaxially received within the central opening of the outer member, defining therebetween a generally annular atomizing fluid supply conduit; and an atomizing head including a fuel chamber, an atomizing fluid chamber, and a mixing chamber, the fuel chamber having a first end and a second end, the atomizing fluid chamber being circumambient to the first end of the fuel chamber and an atomizing fluid discharge conduit extending from the atomizing fluid chamber to the mixing chamber allowing the atomizing fluid chamber to communicate with the mixing chamber, the mixing chamber being circumambient to the second end of the fuel chamber and a fuel discharge aperture extending from the fuel chamber to the mixing chamber allowing the fuel chamber to communicate with mixing chamber, an atomized fuel discharge conduit extending from the mixing chamber through the atomizing head allowing atomized fuel to be discharged from the atomizer; wherein there is an unobstructed view between the atomized fuel discharge conduit and the fuel discharge aperture across the mixing chamber, and there is an unobstructed view between the atomized fuel discharge conduit and the atomizing fluid discharge conduit across the mixing chamber.
