MDFL burners use a single oil nozzle (see drg) within the inner assembly (refer to the Appendix). This nozzle is factory-specified to deliver optimum performance under the specified operating conditions. Any queries regarding the size of the nozzle should be referred to Nu-way. Fluidics W1 Nozzle The nozzle is held in position by the inner assembly lance, through which oil flows from the manifold block to the nozzle and recirculated through the spill regulating valve.
