What type of burner mixes oil and air inside a furnace?

The atomizing burner is specifically designed to mix oil and air within a furnace, which enhances the combustion process and improves efficiency. This type of burner utilizes a nozzle that breaks the oil into fine droplets, allowing it to mix thoroughly with air before ignition. The fine mist increases the surface area of the oil, leading to a more complete and efficient burn.

In contrast, a standard burner typically operates with less complex fuel handling and may not achieve the same level of atomization required for optimal combustion of oil. A gas burner primarily uses gaseous fuels such as natural gas or propane and is not applicable for mixing oil, while a pressure burner relies on the pressure of the fuel to atomize it but might not mix air as efficiently as an atomizing burner does. Thus, the atomizing burner is the most effective choice for achieving proper oil and air mixing in a furnace system.
