Q. The fire in a burner is always off
center and heavy on the right side. I can't find a nozzle that will
straighten up the fire. What should I do?
-
If the flame is always heavy on
one side, the nozzle does not cause it. It would be impossible to make a
nozzle spray that is heavy on one side and always have it come up on the
same side of the burner.
-
Check the position of the
nozzle in the burner head. The chances are it is off to one side or the
other.
-
With a short burner tube, the
air stream may be stronger on one side than the other. That will give the
appearance of an off center fire.
-
If the burner is installed to
one side of the combustion chamber, the flame may also give the appearance
of being heavy on one side.
-
If the nozzle spray pattern is
off center due to contamination or any other reason, it may make a flame,
which is heavy on one side, but it could be in any direction.
