What is the primary role of the burning nozzle in an oil burner?

The primary function of the burning nozzle in an oil burner is to ignite the mixture of oil and air. The nozzle atomizes the oil into a fine mist, allowing it to efficiently mix with air for combustion. When the oil is sprayed in a mist form, it increases the surface area available for mixing with the air, leading to a more effective ignition process. This is crucial for achieving a stable and efficient flame within the combustion chamber.

While other components of the oil burner serve important roles—such as regulating temperature, filtering oil, and controlling airflow—these tasks are managed by separate parts of the system. The burning nozzle specifically focuses on the atomization of the oil and its ignition, which are essential for the combustion process to function properly in oil heating systems.
