  • Waste oil burner
    Patent number: 4149842
    Abstract: A burner for hydrocarbon fuel, such as waste lubricating oil for internal combustion engines and the like, has a fuel line terminating in a discharge nozzle and connected to a source of the fuel. Arranged within the fuel line and terminating in a discharge outlet disposed substantially adjacent the discharge nozzle is a gas line connected to a source of a gas under pressure. The gas lifts and atomizes the fuel and causes same to discharge from the nozzle and into a combustion chamber. The latter is preferably formed by a burner can provided with one or more apertures in a sidewall thereof, and having a baffle disposed spaced from, but adjacent to, the discharge nozzle, which is disposed just inside the combustion chamber, for avoiding carbon buildup on the end of the nozzle.
