🔍 Key Concepts

• fuel atomization at the burner tip and how it affects flame stability • differences between pressure problems and contamination problems in fuel systems • what happens when non‑combustible material enters the combustion space

💭 Think About

• For each option, picture the spray pattern at the burner tip: which condition would make the flame uneven or ‘spit and pop’ rather than just weak or smoky? • Ask yourself which problem would come and go in bursts as it reaches the burner, instead of giving you a steady but poor-quality flame. • Think about what happens inside the furnace if something suddenly expands or turns to vapor right at the burner nozzle.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, decide: does this mainly change viscosity/pressure, or does it change what is actually in the fuel? • Identify which condition would most likely cause quick, irregular changes in burner output rather than a consistently low flame. • Verify which factor is most associated with popping, sputtering, or ‘spitting’ flames in boiler burner troubleshooting guides.
