What issues can dirty or damaged nozzles or rotary cups cause?

Improper atomization
Excessive heating
Reduced efficiency
Increased emissions

The correct answer is: Improper atomization

Dirty or damaged nozzles or rotary cups can lead to improper atomization of the fuel. Proper atomization is crucial for achieving efficient combustion in low pressure boilers. When the fuel is not atomized correctly, it may not mix sufficiently with air, leading to incomplete combustion. This can result in larger fuel droplets burning inefficiently, which can hinder the overall performance of the boiler system. Consequently, this can also affect the system's efficiency and can produce other issues, including excessive emissions, but the primary issue stemming directly from the state of the nozzles and cups is the improper atomization of the fuel. Thus, understanding the impact of these components is critical for maintaining optimal boiler operation and ensuring efficiency and compliance with emissions regulations.
