Patent number: 4028906Abstract: This invention relates generally to the cooling of a condenser coil in the outdoor compressor unit of a central air conditioning system by injecting an atomized mist of minute water particles into the upstream side of a stream of air passing through the coil for fogging the coil with the mist for more effective and complete evaporation thereof, cooling the coil more efficiently while reducing the amount of residual runoff water.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1975Date of Patent: June 14, 1977Assignee: Charles E. UpchurchInventors: Albert Gingold, Charles E. Upchurch

Patent number: 4022385Abstract: A water spray nozzle for removing paint particles from air exhausted from a paint spray booth. The nozzle has an inlet and an outlet and at least two orifices therebetween which are of progressively diminishing size in a direction toward the outlet. The walls of the nozzle are designed to produce considerable turbulence of the water stream flowing through the nozzle and to produce a wide angle solid spray of water from the nozzle outlet.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1976Date of Patent: May 10, 1977Assignee: Tri-Mark Metal CorporationInventor: Robert A. Krueger

Patent number: 3987713Abstract: A low-noise nozzle system for receiving an air flow from a relatively low-velocity, high-volume air source and for producing therefrom a high-velocity, low-volume jet of air for delivery into a room to control the distribution of air in the room. The nozzle inner walls first extend along a straight axis into the room, then bend gradually at right angles to feed an outlet aperture which injects the jet into the room at right angles to the axis. The aperture is in a plane parallel to said straight axis and elongated at right angles to said axis; low-noise delivery of the jet into the room is accomplished by special proportioning of the radii of the nozzle inner walls at the bend in relation to the size of the inlet to the nozzle, and of the size of the outlet aperture relative to the size of said nozzle inlet.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 1975Date of Patent: October 26, 1976Assignee: Aktiebolaget Svenska FlaktfabrikenInventors: Birger Larkfeldt, Lennart Widerby

Patent number: 3974964Abstract: A liquid atomizing method and apparatus including a conduit member having an annular ring eccentrically mounted thereon such that a radial port in the ring is aligned with a radial aperture in the conduit member. A thin flexible orifice ribbon is intercalated between the ring and the conduit member. In one embodiment of the invention, a vibratory device is rigidly mounted upon the exterior surface of the conduit member and functions to induce the formation of uniform droplets within fluid flowing through apertures in the orifice ribbon. In another embodiment of the invention an elongate flexible orifice ribbon, having a plurality of spaced orifice zones, may be mounted upon an advancement mechanism to facilitate maintenance of a clean unobstructed set of apertures in communication with the conduit port. The atomizing apparatus is readily serviceable without special tools.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1975Date of Patent: August 17, 1976Assignee: Cotton IncorporatedInventors: Larry N. Pearce, C. Lyle Lacy, Arthur E. Neumann

Patent number: 3974966Abstract: A miniature flat spray nozzle is disclosed which delivers a fan-shaped mist of fuel to a gas turbine combustor from a narrow slot. The slot is formed by making a transverse cut in a fuel-carrying conduit at a location near its end. A specially formed part is inserted into the end of the conduit which, in addition to capping off the conduit, divides the space adjacent thereto into three small chambers. One chamber is immediately below the transverse slot. Four orifices in the bottom wall of this first chamber connect it with the other two chambers. Each of the lower chambers opens into the conduit at its upstream end. Fuel delivered down the conduit divides in two parts, passes through the orifices between the lower and upper chambers, undergoes turbulent mixing in the chamber adjacent the transverse slot, and issues forth from the slot as an atomized mist.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1975Date of Patent: August 17, 1976Assignee: Avco CorporationInventor: Sidney C.
