Definitions

  • This invention relates to oil fuel atomisers for use in oil burners.
  • a common practice in oil burners for large boilers is to use atomisers of the Y-jet type in which a number of ports are arranged at an angle to the burner axis to produce a hollow conical spray.
  • Each exit port has a co-axial atomising fluid port for injection of the atomising fluid (which may be steam or air) and also has an oil port entering at an angle.
  • a degree of mixing between the atomising fluid and oil takes place in the exit port and the two phase mixture then expands out of the exit port to form a spray.
  • One of the problems with this type of atomiser is that the jet of oil from the oil port tends to impinge on the opposite side of the exit port where it forms a thick film. This thick film can persist through the exit port to the end thereof and hence lead to the formation of relatively large oil droplets.
  • a multi-jet atomiser for an oil burner comprises a body having a plurality of exit ports leading outwardly from an annular mixing chamber to form a conical spray, means for injecting oil through oil inlet ports into the mixing chamber, the oil being injected at each inlet port in a direction to produce a toroidal recirculation in the annular mixing chamber with the injected oil from each inlet port passing close to an exit port at approximately right angles to the axis of that exit port and means for injecting an atomising fluid into the mixing chamber at a plurality of positions in a wall of the mixing chamber.
  • the atomising fluid is injected into a turbulent recirculating flow region through ports in the wall of the mixing chamber opposite the exit ports.
  • the atomising fluid thus becomes well mixed with the oil and carries part of the recirculating mixture into the exit ports in the appropriate directions to pass through these ports and to expand outwardly therefrom as a fine spray.
  • a plenum chamber or a plurality of plenum chambers through which the oil is fed into the aforementioned oil inlet ports.
  • the aforementioned annular mixing chamber preferably has a curved surface opposite each oil injection port shaped to direct the impinging oil around a curved path towards the axis of the burner assembly and hence to promote the toroidal recirculation.
  • the aforesaid means for injecting an atomising fluid into the mixing chamber may be at a plurality of positions in a wall of the mixing chamber opposite the exit ports.
  • the mixing chamber may have walls shaped to guide the injected oil in a direction across the exit ports and thence around in a recirculatory path over the wall opposite the exit ports.
  • the annular mixing chamber and, if provided, the plenum chamber or chambers are constituted by regions between the end of a main burner body element containing a central atomising fluid passage extending axially through the body element to atomising fluid injection ports in the end thereof and a cap which is secured, e.g. threaded, onto the main burner body element and which has the aforesaid exit ports.
  • the main burner body element may contain a central oil passage extending axially through the body element to said oil inlet ports.
  • the atomising fluid is passed through passages around the central oil passage.
  • the atomiser has a main elongate body member 10 with a central passage 11 extending axially through the member 10 towards the end thereof to carry an atomising fluid, either steam or air.
  • This passage 11 terminates in a frusto- conical face 12 from which a number of ports 13 extend, these ports leading into an annular mixing chamber 15.
  • This mixing chamber has a plurality of exit ports 14 as seen most clearly in Figure 1.
  • These ports 14 are formed in cap member 16, internally threaded at 17, which fits over the end of the body member 10.
  • the ports 13 and the ports 14 are at angles of about 45 o to the axis of the assembly.
  • These ports 13 and 14 need not necessarily be at the same angle to the axis of the assembly.
  • the angles for the exit ports 14 would depend on the desired cone angle of the spray. In some cases it may be preferred to make the inlet ports 13 parallel to the axis of the assembly.
  • Oil from an annular region 20 around the outside of the body member 10 passes through a plurality of oil ducts 21 in the cap member 16, into an annular plenum chamber 22. From the plenum chamber, the oil is injected into a mixing chamber 15 through a ring of ports 23 through an upstanding part 24 in the body member 10. The injection from the ports 23 into the mixing chamber is in a direction such as to produce a toroidal circulation of the oil in the mixing chamber 15.
  • the oil ports 23 are arranged to produce oil jets which pass close to the exit ports 14 at approximately right angles to the axis of the exit ports.
  • the plenum chamber 22 and mixing chamber 15 are formed as gaps between the cap member 16 and the main body member 10.
  • the shaping of these members 10, 16 is such that, when the cap member is screwed in position on the body member, the gaps between the cap member and body member form the mixing chamber and plenum chamber.
  • the exit ports 14 have their axes defining a cone, the axis of this cone being aligned with the longitudinal axis of the burner and the apex of the cone being on that longitudinal axis.
  • the oil spray from the plurality of exit ports 14 thus is in the general form of a hollow cone.
  • the atomising fluid is injected through ports on the opposite wall of the chamber, that is the wall facing the exit ports. This wall is conical. It is not necessary in this construction however that the cap member 16 is angularly aligned with respect to the body element 10. Alignment of the injection ports and exit ports is not critical and, in the particular embodiment illustrated, there are two rows of injection ports 13 and one row of exit ports 14. The fluid entering the exit ports is well mixed in the mixing chamber and is forced into the exit ports. This construction gives good atomisation.
  • the simple construction having a cap 16 screwed onto the body member 10 enables the atomiser to be easily cleaned after these parts are separated.
  • the exit ports 14 are evenly spaced with their axes lying on the same cone. In some cases, however, it may be advantageous to have these exit ports on more than one cone.
  • the ports 14 need not necessarily be evenly spaced; they may be irregularly spaced or grouped.
  • the atomising fluid ports are directly opposite and pointing towards the exit ports.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a modification of that construction and the same reference characters are used to indicate corresponding components.
  • the atomising fluid inlets to the mixing chamber, as shown at 30, produce atomising fluid jets which tend to counter the toroidal circulation produced by the oil jets 23. This may be advantageous in some cases to enhance mixing with the oil.
  • the inlets to the atomising fluid ports 30 are at a greater distance from the atomiser axis than in the arrangement of Figures 1 and 2, it is easier to provide the requisite number of ports.
  • the atomising fluid is fed axially through a central passage 11 in the main burner body 10.
  • it may be preferred to reverse the position of the oil and atomising fluid feeds the oil feed being axially through a passage 41 and the atomising fluid being from an annular region 42 around the outside of the body member 10.
  • This arrangement makes the incorporation of sufficient atomising fluid port area much easier by locating these ports as far as possible from the atomiser axis.
  • the fact that the oil ports shown at 43 in Figure 4 are now much closer to the axis is not too much of an imposition because the total oil port area is generally significantly less than the total atomising fluid port area.
  • Figure 5 illustrates a modification of Figure 4 in which the oil ports, shown at 50, are approximately parallel to the atomiser axis.
  • the mixing chamber wall is shaped to direct the oil jets across the approach region to the exit ports. This arrangement may simplify manufacture.
