Kewanee - Diffusers
Diffusers, sometimes commonly called Spinners, are a component of the burner, near the root of the flame, which create the turbulence required to achieve proper fuel / air mixing for complete combustion.
In most cases, oil burners and oil/gas combination burners use one style of Diffuser, while gas only burners use a different type of Diffuser.
As you may have found, there are a number of websites which offer Kewanee Diffusers . Unfortunately, they present these Diffusers as being of a standard style for a particular Kewanee burner size ("P", "F", "A", "AA", etc). This is not the case. If there were a Guinness Book of Records category for number of design changes for a particular part, Kewanee would certainly be in the running with the number and variety of Diffuser designs used over the years.
Only Burton Mechanical has the original Kewanee Engineering and Sales Order records to be able to determine exactly which Diffuser was used on your boiler as-shipped from the Kewanee factory. For more information on how this came about, see
In addition to the complete set of original Kewanee Boiler drawings, Burton Mechanical also has in its possession many of the original tools and weld fixtures used in the Kewanee plant. Many of our Diffusers are produced on these original Kewanee production tools in order to guarantee proper fit-up and operation.
