When fuel oil is supplied to an accurate chamber, its spraying process takes place due to injectors and sprinkler devices. This process is called primary droplet crushing. It is often not enough to burn fuel efficiently. Since the size of fuel droplets in the combustion chamber often reaches several millimeters, which increases underburning and leads to uneven burnout. In such cases, it is advisable to use secondary crushing of water-oil fuel droplets. Secondary crushing of droplets reduces the average size of droplets in the fuel spray torch by several times. At the first stage of secondary crushing of droplets, their collisions with each other in the jet are realized, after which the formed droplets are subjected to collisions with the walls of thermal equipment. At the next stage, pyrolysis of such droplets occurs at the periphery of the jet, which leads to the formation of solid particles and subsequent collisions of droplets of water-oil fuels with them. At the final stage, the formed secondary fragments are subjected to intense heating in the combustion chamber, which allows for micro-explosive grinding. The present study is aimed at studying the characteristics of secondary crushing of water-oil fuel droplets with the addition of specialized additives. The results of the conducted studies have shown that the use of an additive based on a special combination of positively and negatively charged ions reduces the size of fuel droplets by 25%. It has been found that when using such an additive, the ratio of the free surface areas of droplets increases several times with a combination of all secondary grinding modes.
