Abstract
The present invention provides specific design dimensions for a sprayer plate flow restrictor orifices of a fuel oil atomizer, and the resulting arrangement of the atomized liquid spray pattern. Specific depth to diameter ratios of the sprayer plate restrictor orifices and specific dimensions of the chamfer of the inlets to the restrictor orifices of the atomizer of the present invention provide improved performance results as compared to prior art atomizers, including reduced emissions and increased durability of atomizer components.
