  • Patent number: 7552881
    Abstract: The invention relates to a solid cone spray nozzle with a mouthpiece having an outlet chamber and an inlet opening emanating from the outlet chamber and having a smaller cross-section than the latter According to the invention an inlet opening into the outlet chamber has a smaller cross-section than the outlet chamber and downstream of the outlet chamber inlet opening is provided a web-like preatomizer element on which impacts at least partly a fluid jet following entry into the outlet chamber. Use e.g. as a two-fluid spray nozzle for spraying or atomizing low viscosity liquids for cooling purposes in billet or bloom continuous casting installations.

  • Patent number: 7370815
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cone nozzle with a nozzle body having a swirl chamber (18), an inlet hole (22) arranged in a side wall of the swirl chamber (18) and an outlet hole (20) arranged in a first end wall of the swirl chamber (18). In accordance with the invention a rotation-symmetrical projection (30) or a rotation-symmetrical recess is arranged on a second end wall of the swirl chamber opposite the first end wall and at least two blind holes (32) are arranged in the first end wall adjacent to the outlet hole (20). Use for secondary cooling of continuous billet casting plant, for example.

  • Publication number: 20020023975
    Abstract: A spraying nozzle is described which is provided with an outlet opening for forming a liquid jet and with an impact surface which is arranged behind this outlet opening in the flow direction, for generating a spray fan. The impact surface is constructed as a convexly curved surface of a tongue extending from the outlet opening into the liquid jet, the impact surface also being set at a setting angle &agr; with respect to the axis of the liquid jet emerging from the outlet opening.
