Delavan Oil burner nozzles 01800-60B0

The Delavan 01800-60B0 is an oil burner nozzle with a capacity of 18 gallons per hour and a spray angle of 60 degrees. It features a B solid-cone spray pattern, which distributes droplets uniformly across the pattern, becoming progressively more hollow at higher flow rates above 8.00 GPH. This nozzle is designed to provide smooth ignition and efficient combustion, particularly in larger burners. It is identified by article numbers 01800-60B0, 3042412, and 345.892.147.

Oil nozzles of this type are selected based on the burner's required fuel flow rate (GPH), spray angle, and spray pattern. The nozzle must match the burner's specifications for optimal performance. Installation involves removing the old nozzle and fitting the new one securely, ensuring the spray angle and pattern align with the combustion chamber design. Always verify the nozzle's capacity and angle against the burner's manual before ordering.

When oil nozzles of this kind fail, common issues include clogging, which leads to incomplete combustion, soot buildup, or a pulsating flame. A worn or damaged nozzle can cause uneven spray, resulting in poor ignition or flame instability. Regular inspection and cleaning are necessary to prevent these problems, and if the nozzle shows signs of wear or blockage, it should be replaced promptly.
