Fluidics W2-180-45 nozzle
This is an oil nozzle from Fluidics, catalogue article 480.892.093. Parts of this type are precision consumables that atomise fuel oil into a fine spray cone for complete combustion. The spray cone’s angle, pattern and flow rate together determine how the flame sits in the combustion head. Nozzles are selected by three parameters: flow rate (stated in GPH or kg/h at a reference pressure), spray angle (typically between 30° and 80°), and spray pattern (hollow, solid or semi-solid). The thread size must also match the burner’s oil pipe or adapter. Using a nozzle with the correct flow but an incorrect pattern or angle can cause sooting, pulsation or unstable ignition. When replacing, always match the three parameters to the burner data plate. No further specifics about this article’s rating, angle or pattern are available from the catalogue data.
