Abstract: An improved fuel injection apparatus is provided to uniformly disperse a low pressure fuel in a highly atomized manner for introduction into a combustion apparatus. The fuel injection apparatus of this invention employs a central fuel injector which initially swirls and distributes the fuel in a near uniform sheet for receipt within the system of counter-rotating air swirl means.There is also included a system of counter-rotating air swirl means disposed about a shroud member whereby the primary atomizing forces are the high shear stresses developed at the confluence of the counter-rotating air streams.
