Delavan Oil nozzle 00110-80W1

The Delavan 00110-80W1 is an oil nozzle with a capacity of 1.1 gallons per hour and a spray angle of 80 degrees. It features a W spray pattern, which is an 'all purpose' type that is neither truly hollow nor solid, and can often replace solid or hollow cone nozzles in the 0.40 to 8.00 GPH range. This nozzle is used in burners for fuel dose adjustment, fuel spraying, flame formation, fuel economy, and reducing emissions. It plays an important role in burning fuel for heating systems and other devices.

Oil nozzles of this type are selected by matching the flow rate (GPH), spray angle, and spray pattern to the burner's requirements. The nozzle must be compatible with the burner's air pattern and fuel pump pressure. When installing, ensure the nozzle is properly seated and torqued to the manufacturer's specification, and check that the O-ring or gasket is in good condition to prevent leaks.

Common failure modes for oil nozzles include clogging due to dirt or debris, which can cause uneven flame, soot buildup, or reduced heating efficiency. A worn or damaged nozzle may result in poor atomization, leading to incomplete combustion, increased fuel consumption, or flame instability. If the burner fails to ignite or produces a smoky flame, inspect the nozzle for blockages or wear and replace it if necessary.
