Standard Combustion Applications

The all-new Delavan ProTek® Nozzle System provides the first step into the future of Clean Air Technology®. This unique, patented System from
Delavan provides significant reductions in combustion pollutants for cleaner air. The ProTek Nozzle System includes a factory-installed, one-piece Valve Component which reduces smoke and oil smell in the off cycle by preventing oil after drip from the nozzle. Also, the reduction of smoke (carbon and soot) helps maintain burner set up efficiency longer and extend the time period between appliance clean ups. Installation is fast and easy; there’s no need to increase pump supply pressure at installation because there’s no pressure drop. Plus, ProTek Nozzle Systems maintain the same flow pattern and flow rating characteristics of comparably rated Delavan nozzles. The dramatic benefits of the ProTek Nozzle System are available in either a factory-installed, complete system or as the ProTek Valve Component sold separately to replace the standard filter on a Delavan nozzle.

Hydrocarbon emissions are greatly reduced when the Delavan ProTek® Nozzle System is used. Hydrocarbons are typically elevated at start-up and shut-down of the nozzle firing, as both of these graphs show. When the ProTek Nozzle System is installed, the dramatic benefits are seen in these charts which show comparative results with and without the ProTek® valve. Results will vary by application.

TEK TALK

The Delavan ProTek® Nozzle System has been thoroughly tested. In the tests, approximately seven years of “on/off” cycle operation simulation in the laboratory with no failures. A total of 107,000 cycles were recorded. After the first 11,350 cycles, the cut-on pressures shifted upward an average of 3.0 PSI. The cut off pressure shifted up an average of 7.75 PSI. After this initial seating process, there was very little change of either “on” or “off” pressures. Very little change in nozzle flow was noted after 107,000 cycles, either. Additional testing has included pressure tests up to 500 PSI (34,5 BAR), as well as combustion tests and tests with various fuels such as kerosene, #2, and heavier oils. Detailed test results are available from Delavan Technical Services.

DELAVAN HISTORY

Behind every successful company, there is a story of a driven entrepreneur, devoted to building a company—often from little or nothing. Nelson B. Delavan was the man behind the company known today as Delavan Fluid Power. Understanding Nelson Delavan helps to paint a portrait of a company that—some 80 years later—is still committed to serving its customers faithfully and delivering innovation and value to the marketplace.

Nelson B. Delavan was born in 1897 in Norwich, New York. In 1936 Nelson formed Delavan Engineering. The goal of the company was to be manufacturer’s representatives for producers of electrical and mechanical equipment in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas. In 1941, Nelson founded Delavan Manufacturing Company in Des Moines, Iowa to produce high precision nozzles for oil burners, agricultural spraying equipment, and special components for aircraft engines.

Nelson Delavan died in 1971, and in 1984 Delavan’s wife Elizabeth established a non-profit trust, The Nelson B. Delavan Foundation, in her late husband’s honor. This trust donates money in support of education, historical, cultural and arts-related endeavors and is still operating to this very day.

The British Standards Institute has certified that Delavan has achieved ISO 9001:2015. An internationally recognised quality management system standard that we implement within our day to day activities. We pride our-self on our customer service, quality and competitive pricing. If your in need of an Industrial Nozzle and need a reliable supplier, cut you selection time in half and put your trust in Delavan knowing we are quality certified.
