Oil Burner Components & Nozzles: Complete Buyer's Guide for Philippines
What Is an Oil Burner & Why It Matters
An oil burner is a complete combustion system that atomizes liquid fuel (typically kerosene or diesel) for efficient heating in industrial boilers and furnaces. The core component is the oil nozzle—a precision-engineered spray tip that controls fuel flow rate (measured in GPH or L/h) and atomization pattern. Leading manufacturers like Jetoil, CBM, and Saunier Duval serve industrial markets across Southeast Asia. 3G Electric has supplied oil burner components to Philippine industrial facilities for over 35 years, ensuring proper sizing and installation support.
How Oil Burner Systems Work
Oil burners operate in three stages: fuel supply, atomization, and combustion. Pressurized oil (typically 10 bar) flows through the nozzle, which breaks it into a fine mist. The spray angle—either 60° (narrow) or 80° (wide)—determines coverage inside the combustion chamber. Hollow-cone nozzles create an empty core for better air mixing; full-cone nozzles deliver dense, uniform spray. Control valves like the Saunier Duval 3-way regulate flow and pressure. Proper nozzle selection ensures complete combustion, minimal emissions, and maximum efficiency.
Oil Burner Nozzle Specifications & Selection
| Specification | Range / Type | Impact on Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Flow Rate (GPH) | 0.40–45 GPH | Determines boiler capacity; mismatch causes inefficiency or incomplete combustion |
| Spray Angle | 60° or 80° | 60° = narrow, compact; 80° = wide, high-capacity chambers |
| Cone Type | Full-cone or Hollow-cone | Full-cone: dense mist; Hollow-cone: better air mixing, cleaner burn |
| Pressure Rating | 10 bar typical | Higher pressure improves atomization fineness; must match pump capacity |
| Connection | Standard flange or threaded | Must fit burner mounting; verify before ordering |
Types & Applications in the Philippines
Industrial oil burners in the Philippines serve diverse sectors: textile mills (drying), food processing (steam generation), metal fabrication (heat treatment), and commercial hospitality (hot water). Small systems (0.40–3.50 GPH) suit compact boilers in manufacturing workshops and hotels. Large systems (45+ GPH) power steam plants and district heating in Manila, Cebu, and Davao. Hollow-cone nozzles like the [[PRODUCT:JTO36008|Jetoil 0.40 80° H]] excel in turbulent chambers; full-cone designs like the [[PRODUCT:FLU05035|CBM Fluidics 45.00 60° SF]] provide stable, wide-angle coverage for larger furnaces.
How to Select the Right Oil Burner Components
- Determine boiler capacity (BTU/h or kW): Match nozzle flow rate to burner nameplate. Undersizing reduces output; oversizing wastes fuel and increases emissions.
- Verify spray angle: Check burner design specs. Narrow (60°) suits confined spaces; wide (80°) works in large chambers with high air velocity.
- Choose cone type based on air mixing: Hollow-cone [[PRODUCT:JTO36008|Jetoil 0.40 80° H]] for efficient small burners; full-cone for stable, high-capacity applications.
- Confirm pressure rating and pump output: Most Jetoil and CBM nozzles operate at 10 bar; ensure your fuel pump delivers this pressure consistently.
- Install control valve: Saunier Duval 3-way valve [[PRODUCT:PCM28051|PCM28051]] regulates flow and protects against pressure spikes during startup.
- Add monitoring: Interpump oil-level indicator [[PRODUCT:97596800|G3/4X15]] prevents tank-empty shutdowns and fuel starvation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What flow rate do I need for my boiler?
A: Match the nozzle GPH to your burner's rated capacity. A 100 kW boiler typically requires 3–5 GPH; a 500 kW system needs 25–45 GPH. Check your boiler nameplate or contact 3G Electric for sizing help.
Q: What's the difference between 60° and 80° spray angles?
A: 60° nozzles create a narrow, dense cone—ideal for compact, high-velocity chambers. 80° nozzles spread fuel wider, suiting larger furnaces with slower air flow. Wrong angle causes poor mixing and sooting.
Q: Can I use a hollow-cone and full-cone nozzle interchangeably?
A: No. Hollow-cone atomizes finer for efficient small burners; full-cone delivers stable, uniform spray for large systems. Swapping them degrades combustion and increases fuel consumption.
Q: Does 3G Electric deliver to Davao and provincial areas?
A: Yes. We ship nationwide with full tracking and documentation. Orders in stock typically dispatch within 2–3 business days. Davao delivery via partner logistics.
