An increase in the compressor air pressure over the nozzle will add more
atomized fuel into the combustion tube; however the combustion air provided
by the combustion air blower remains constant resulting in a rich air/fuel
mixture and possibly black smoke from the exhaust.
A restriction in the amount of air through the combustion chamber (restricted
air intake, dirty heat exchanger plugged exhaust) will also result in a rich air/fuel
mixture as the compressor air pressure (and atomized fuel flow) remains constant.
A restriction in the fuel line, filter, screens, or nozzle fuel passage will reduce
the atomized fuel/air flow into the combustion tube: however the combustion
air provided by the combustion air blower remains constant resulting in a lean
air/fuel mixture and possibly gray/white smoke from the exhaust.
A decrease in the compressor air pressure over the nozzle will reduce the
amount of atomized fuel/air into the combustion tube; however the combustion
air provided by the combustion air blower remains constant resulting in a lean
air/fuel mixture and possibly gray/white smoke from the exhaust.
