Abstract
An improved fuel injection apparatus is provided to uniformly disperse a low pressure fuel in a highly atomized manner for introduction into a combustion apparatus. The fuel injection apparatus of this invention employs a system of counter-rotating air swirl means disposed about a shroud member whereby the primary atomizing forces are the high shear stresses developed at the confluence of the counter-rotating air streams and the greater velocity and uniformity at which the fuel is dispersed within the shroud provides for a substantially increased atomization efficiency.
