  • Publication number: 20160108899
    Abstract: A two-phase expansion device (106) capable of maximizing the amount of movement produced by a two-phase flow. The two-phase expansion device (106) includes at least: one dispenser (105) for dispensing the fluid to a plurality of two-phase expansion nozzles (60); a plurality of adjacent two-phase expansion nozzles (60) with substantially parallel axes, each two-phase expansion nozzle (60) including sequentially at least one diffuser (65), one neck (66), and one tube (67), the two-phase expansion nozzles (60) being arranged to each receive a portion of the flow from the hot source; and elements for supporting the plurality of two-phase expansion nozzles (60) and including elements for sealably separating the two-phase expansion nozzles (60).
