IMPROVED ATOMIZATION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LIQUID FUEL BURNERS AND LIQUID ATOMIZERS An improved apparatus and method for burning liquid fuel or atomizing liquid are disclosed for use in fuel burners or atomizers of the type which comprise a hollow atomizer bulb having a smooth, preferably convex exterior surface which tapers toward a small aperture through which high pressure air or other gas is forced to atomize liquid as it flows in a thin film over the exterior surface of the bulb. Such atomizer bulbs are located within an atomizing chamber through which a flow of air or other gas is directed toward a discharge opening aligned with the aperture of the atomizer bulb. To protect the thin film of liquid flowing over the exterior surface of the bulb, the bulb is enclosed within a shield which also permits the atomizer bulb to be located closer to the discharge opening so that the flame front is positioned in the flame tube rather than in the discharge opening. |
