Patent number: 7156320Abstract: A clog-resistant injector spray nozzle allows relatively unobtrusive insertion through a small access aperture into existing ductwork in occupied buildings for atomized particulate sealing of a ductwork. The spray nozzle comprises an easily cleaned and easily replaced straight liquid tube whose liquid contents are principally propelled by a heated propellant gas, such as heated air. Heat transfer is minimized from the heated propellant gas to the liquid tube until they both exit the injector, thereby greatly reducing the likelihood of nozzle clogging. A method of duct sealing using particles driven by heated propellant gas is described, whereby duct-sealing operations become both faster, and commercially practicable in inhabited commercial and residential buildings.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2002Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Duo Wang, Mark P.

Patent number: 6869031Abstract: A three-stream atomizing nozzle that has an air stream divider that separates the atomizing air from the source into three streams. The first stream is a straight air stream staying closest to and around the atomized water jet. The second stream is a swirl running around the first straight stream. The third stream is also a straight stream that wraps around the first straight stream and the second swirl. The nozzle also has a mixing chamber in which the three air streams are mixed together for the atomizing purpose. From the combination of the three air streams the nozzle can produce fine water droplets that are suitable for many uses and more importantly creates a tailorable water mass profile. The mass profile can be tailored into a shape that is close to a square shape which creates minimal coupling between adjacent zones.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2003Date of Patent: March 22, 2005Assignee: ABB Ltd.Inventor: Shizhong Duan
