What effect does high-pressure oil have when used in a mechanical atomizing burner?

Using high-pressure oil in a mechanical atomizing burner significantly improves mixing with air. This is primarily due to the fact that high pressure leads to finer atomization of the fuel, resulting in smaller droplets. Smaller droplets have a larger surface area relative to their volume, allowing for more effective mixing with the combustion air. This enhanced mixing is crucial for achieving complete combustion, as it facilitates a better interaction between the fuel and oxygen. Enhanced atomization can lead to more efficient combustion processes, reducing the likelihood of incomplete combustion and associated emissions.

The efficiency of mixing is particularly important in ensuring that the fuel burns more completely, which can result in more stable and efficient flame characteristics. This fundamental principle is what leads many systems to employ high-pressure oil to optimize combustion performance in mechanical atomizing burners.
