Fluidics 0.60GPH, 60SF nozzle

This Fluidics oil nozzle, catalogue article 480.892.029, is specified with a flow rate of 0.60 GPH and a 60SF spray characteristic. Parts of this type atomise fuel oil into a fine cone so that it burns completely. They are precision consumable components. The flow rate, spray angle and spray pattern together define how the flame sits in the combustion head. For a given burner, all three parameters must match the data plate: flow rate in GPH or kg/h at the reference pressure, spray angle (commonly 30 to 80 degrees), and pattern (hollow, solid, or semi-solid). A nozzle with the correct rating but wrong pattern will cause sooting, pulsation or unstable ignition. In the burner system, the nozzle is fitted into the combustion head and receives pressurised oil from the pump via the solenoid valve. It operates with the oil pump, solenoid valve and, if equipped, a preheater. When replacing, always verify the original nozzle's specifications on the burner data plate. Nozzles are consumable items; periodic replacement maintains combustion efficiency and prevents deposit build-up. Ensure the replacement has the identical flow rate, angle and pattern to avoid altering the flame shape.
