An object of the invention is to provide fuel nozzles Further objects are to provide nozzles which Will atomize oil efficiently at a r-ange of capacities, an-d which are adaptableIfor use with high pressure units or with those operating :at lower oil pressures. Other'. objects are't'o provide nozzles of advantageous character which will preclude drip of'oil when the burners are notin operation, and additional objects are to provide nozzles 'which are non-clogging or self-cleaning in character.
Other objects of the invention will Abe apparent to those skilled in the art from the disclosures herein made.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating specific embodiments of the invention:
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a nozzle construction of this invention;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary longitudinal section ofthe outlet end of the nozzle shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is an enlarged end view of the stem of the nozzle shown in Fig. 1; and
Fig. 5 is an enlarged end view ofthe forward portion of the feed sleeve and stem of the nozzle shown in Fig. 1 with the nozzle sleeve in section, and showing the tangential oil feed grooves extending inwardly in clockwise direction. A
In Figs. l-5 inclusive is illustrated a form of nozzle construction which advantageously may be used over a wide range of fuel capacity, and with high pressures.
Referring to Figs. 1-5, nozzle 300 is shown as contained within housing members 302 and 304, member 304 being threaded into member 302. Housing member 302 in turn is threaded onto fuel supply pipe 22d. There is lno fuel return tube.
`Stem 306 is generally cylindrical and solid in character, and at its rearward end has flange 308 which seats on shoulder 310 of housing member 302. Ring 312 seats on shoulder 314 of flange 308 and extends forwardly into contact with shoulder 31-6 of housing member 304. Furthermore, forward extension 313 of yring 312 seats on inner surface 315 of 'housing member 304. Stem 306 and ring 312 are held in axial aligned position by axial pressure between housing members 302 and 304. Forwardly of ,flange 308 is the smaller cylindrical portion 318. A plurality of symmetrically disposed oil passage holes extend through flange 308 at 320 and through flange 308 and cylindrical portion 318 at 322. The forward end v annular passage 338 defined between ring 334 and re-4 y ice of stem 306 is shown as frustoconical in. shape with conical surface 324 and central surface 326 (Fig. 4). Conical surface 324 is provided with non-radial tangential grooves 328. At its forward portion, stem 306 is reduced in diameter at 330 and 332, and ring 334 is disposed on reduced section 330 vwith force fit. Ring 334 extends forwardly sothat its leading edge is in alignment with and forms a spaced extension of conical surface 324. Ring 334 is provided with `symmetrically disposed radial oil passage holes 336 which lead into the duced section 332. v
f At the rearward end of outer nozzle sleeve member 340a is retaining flange 352 for oil-sealing gasket 354,
`conveniently composed of neoprene. Forwardly of flange 352 is the larger flange 355, the forward movement of which, and of the nozzle sleeve 340, is Vlimited by shoulder 356 of ring 312.
At the forward end of the nozzle, end portion 358 is threaded into housing member 304. End portion 358 is centrally apertured to receive nozzle sleeve 340 with clearance fit, and is longitudinally adjustable by means of Spanner Wrench grooves 360.
In operation, the fuel oil enters from supply pipe 22d, and some oil passes through apertures 320 into pressure chamber 366 and the remainder of the oil passes through feed holes 322 into annular space 368, through longitudinal grooves 342 into annular space 344, and thence into tangential grooves 346.
At oil pressures insuficient to overcome the resistance of spring 362, the oil will pass from tangential grooves 346 through apertures 336, into annular groove 332, through tangential grooves 328, into whirl chamber 370. The oil whirls tangentially in whirl chamber 370 and sprays out of orifice 350 in the form of a cone.
At oil pressures sufficient to overcome the resistance of spring 362 and thus to move the nozzle sleeve forwardly, some of the oil will move as described in the next preceding paragraph, but most of the oil will move directly from tangential grooves 346 into the enlarged whirl chamber 370 formed by the forward movement off nozzle sleeve 340, and thence the oil will move tangentially in the enlarged whirl chamber 370 and outwardly of orifice 350 in the form of a cone.
The nozzle construction shown in Figs. 1-5 provides a smooth ow of oil without turbulence at any capacity. The capacity of the nozzle illustrated in Figs. 1-5 is controlled solely by the pressure of the oil supplied from feed pipe 22d.
"'1`l'1'e` nozzles may be 'adapted' to operate under various conditions by the use'of compression springs of predetermined selected characteristics.
It will be understood that various changes and modifications maybe'fmade inthe nozzle herein disclosed, while still coming within the scope of the invention.
