  • Patent number: 6669115
    Abstract: A nozzle for discharging finely atomized fluids comprises a vortex-mixing-module with a mixing chamber along with at least one liquid inlet tangentially communicating with the chamber and at least one gas inlet axially communicating with the liquid inlet prior to their injection into the mixing chamber, wherein the mixed fluid of liquid/gas from the liquid inlet is setting vortex flow, re-mixing with each other and forming bubble-laden fluid. An impingement member positioned at the downstream of a substantially concentric-mounted pintle stem of the module provides the function of metering flow and forming the spray angle while maintaining the flow distribution to be axial-symmetric in both mass and velocity plus forming a flow field with non-disturbed angular momentum.
