  • Patent number: 8348174
    Abstract: Systems and methods for energy-saving and water-saving devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a head assembly is coupled to receive a liquid flow from a liquid supply and a gas flow from a gas supply, wherein the head assembly defines a mixing region configured to receive the liquid flow and the gas flow, and a dispensing portion configured to receive a combined flow from the mixing region. In some implementations, a spray nozzle may sprayably introduce the liquid flow into the mixing region. In other implementations, a plurality of curtain flows may be drawn through apertures into the dispensing portion by the combined flow. In still other implementations, a portion of the combined flow dispensed by the head assembly may be recaptured into the gas flow.

  • Patent number: 3965494
    Abstract: Liquid flow rate and thus volume consumed is reduced in a cleaning system which includes means for supplying a gas under high flow rate, low pressure to a mixing nozzle, and means for supplying a cleaning liquid to the mixing nozzle where the liquid and gas are combined so that the pressurized gas flow carries liquid droplets to a surface to be cleaned.
