Abstract: An actuated atomizer is adapted for spray cooling or other applications wherein a well-developed, homogeneous and generally conical spray mist is required. The actuated atomizer includes an outer shell formed by an inner ring; an outer ring; an actuator insert and a cap. A nozzle framework is positioned within the actuator insert. A base of the nozzle framework defines swirl inlets, a swirl chamber and a swirl chamber. A nozzle insert defines a center inlet and feed ports. A spool is positioned within the coil housing, and carries the coil windings having a number of turns calculated to result in a magnetic field of sufficient strength to overcome the bias of the spring. A plunger moves in response to the magnetic field of the windings. A stop prevents the pintle from being withdrawn excessively. A pintle, positioned by the plunger, moves between first and second positions.

Abstract: An atomizer for thermal management system for efficiently thermally managing one or more heat producing devices. The atomizer for thermal management system includes a housing having a coolant passage and a dispensing end, an orifice within the dispensing end, and an actuator manipulating a plunger within the housing. The plunger includes a head that is sealable within a recessed portion of the orifice to open or close the orifice. The coolant passes through the coolant passage into the orifice for spraying upon a heat producing device. The actuator may reciprocate so that the coolant spray emitted through the orifice is pulsating. The pulsing frequency may be increased to increase cooling or decreased to decrease cooling of the heat producing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for measuring volatile organic compound (VOC) and hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from coating operations. The system may also be used to assist the user for demonstration of compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and State regulations. In one embodiment, the system comprises programmable processor(s) preferably electronically connected to digital scale(s), interface, and a product flow controller. Software is utilized to document changes in product weights as the coatings are applied to a selected object which may typically be positioned in a ventilated spray booth. The emissions may preferably be calculated based on material balance of the amount of the product used, product density, and pollutant content within the specified product as per EPA requirements or by other means preferably approved by the EPA or any selected specific State.
