Fluidics 12 W1-500-50 nozzle
This is a Fluidics 12 W1-500-50 nozzle, listed under catalogue article 480.892.059. It belongs to the category of oil nozzles and is a precision consumable component. Oil nozzles of this type atomise fuel oil into a fine spray cone so that it mixes with combustion air and burns completely. The spray cone’s shape and size are defined by three parameters that must be matched to the burner’s design: the flow rate (given in GPH or kg/h at a stated reference pressure), the spray angle (typically between 30° and 80°), and the spray pattern (hollow, solid, or semi-solid). Selecting a nozzle with the correct flow rate but a wrong pattern or angle can cause sooting, flame pulsation, or unstable ignition. When replacing a nozzle, always verify that all three parameters correspond to the values on the burner data plate. The thread type must also match the burner’s nozzle holder. No further specifics about this particular article, such as its exact rating, angle, or pattern, are given in the data provided.
