  • Patent number: 11143153
    Abstract: An injector nozzle used with an internal combustion engine for shaping a fluid flow is provided. The nozzle has a body and an orifice plate provided at an outlet of the body. The body and the plate extend symmetrically with respect to a central axis. The plate has an interior surface and an opposite exterior surface, which are substantially parallel to each other to define a thickness of the plate. The plate has fluid passageways each having an orifice on the exterior surface. The fluid flow diverges through the fluid passageways to create stream jets. The imaginary extensions the passageways converge to create a focal point and an included angle associated with the focal point.

  • Publication number: 20180283339
    Abstract: An injector nozzle used with an internal combustion engine for guiding and shaping a fluid flow is provided. The injector nozzle has a fluid flow guide provided at an outlet of a nozzle body. The fluid flow guide has a plurality of fluid passageways for creating a plurality of stream jets. Each passageway has an orifice, through which a respective stream jet is discharged from a respective passageway. The imaginary extensions and the plurality of passageways converge to create at least one focal point, such that the plurality of stream jets impinge on each other to form a spray plume. The plurality of orifices of the fluid passageways are arranged on an imaginary circle on an exterior surface of the fluid flow guide. The plurality of orifices are radially asymmetrically distributed on the imaginary circle with respect to the central axis of the imaginary circle.
