Atomising Air System

 When Liquid fuel oil is sprayed into the turbine

combustion chamber it forms large droplets as it leaves
the fuel nozzles.

The droplets will not burn completely and many could

go out of the exhaust stack in this state

The stream of atomising air break the fuel jet into a fine
mist, permitting ignition and combustion with significantly
increased efficiency and a decreasing of combustion particles
discharging through the exhaust into the atmosphere.
Atomising system be operative from the time of ignition
firing through the acceleration and through out the operation
of the turbine.
