Input:
- Select the fuel type (Gas Oil or Kerosene).
- Choose the nozzle pattern type—Danfoss EH/ES*, Danfoss H, S, B, Delavan A, W, B, or Monarch AR, R, NS, & PLP.
- Select the nozzle size from the dropdown list.
- Enter the appliance efficiency:
- If the efficiency is unknown, assume approx 80% for a non-condensing boiler, 90% for condensing.
- For burner output calculations, set efficiency to 100%.
- Adjust pump pressure until desired kW output:
- If output cannot be reached, select a different nozzle size and recalc.
*EH/ES nozzles are not suitable for gas oil.
**Boiler efficiencies provided are approximate guides. Consult manufacturer for precise info.
***Pump pressure requirements vary depending on fuel type:
- Kerosene: 100–145 psi (6.9–10 bar)
- Gas oil: 174–319 psi (12–22 bar)
This nozzle calculator serves as a general guide for estimating outputs based on Delavan, Danfoss, and Monarch nozzles at specified pressures. Follow manufacturer instructions when available.
- Danfoss EH & ES: reference 8 bar
- Danfoss H, S, B: reference 10 bar
- Delavan A, B, W: reference 6.89 bar
- Monarch AR, R, NS, PLP: reference 6.89 bar
Different nozzles at same pressure produce different throughput. Verify pump pressure and nozzle size.
Example: 0.50 GPH EH/ES nozzle at 125 psi → ~20.12 kW. Swap to H/S/B → ~22.43 kW.
- Delavan W up to 8.00 GPH
- Danfoss EH/ES up to 2.00 GPH, >1.10 GPH obsolete
- Danfoss EH/ES only for kerosene
