This patent describes a burner for combustion of liquid hydrocarbons comprising: a. nozzle assembly means having a longitudinal passageway therethrough for receiving a primary fluid from a source exterior to the burner and spraying the primary fluid from the longitudinal passageway such that combustion occurs outside the passageway; b. a throat means which partially defines the longitudinal passageway; c. chamber means surrounding the longitudinal passageway for receiving atomizing fluid from a source exterior to the burner; d. circumferentially arranged port means spaced radially outward from the throat means for directing the atomizing fluid from the chamber means; e. the port means having their centerlines tapered inwardly and intersecting at a point longitudinally spaced from the outlet end of the throat means to provide a converging spray; f. the spray diverging as it leaves each port means to form a conical pattern which if not interrupted would intersect the center line of the throat means on both sides of the point; and g. openings between the chamber means and the longitudinal passageway which allows mixing of the atomizing fluid and the primary fluid prior to exiting from the throat means.
