DIFFUSER CAP

$0.00

Diffuser Cap (also referred to as the Combustion Head or Burner Head) for the Lavor PT70ss Plus is a crucial component that stabilizes the flame and manages airflow around the Fuel Nozzle.

Function and Importance

  • Flame Shaping: The diffuser cap features specific slots and vanes that create turbulence. This ensures the air mixes perfectly with the atomized fuel from the .040 80° Solid nozzle, preventing a "long" or "unstable" flame.

  • Heat Shielding: It protects the nozzle assembly and Igniter Electrodes from the intense radiant heat of the main combustion chamber.

  • Material: It is constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel to resist oxidation and warping under extreme temperatures.

Signs You Need a Replacement

  • Burn-through: If the edges of the diffuser vanes have thinned or burned away, the air will not swirl correctly, leading to white smoke or "chuffing."

  • Warping: A warped cap can misdirect the flame, causing it to hit the Heat Plate unevenly.

  • Heavy Carbon Buildup: While carbon can often be cleaned off, deep pitting in the metal can harbor hot spots that lead to pre-ignition issues.
