Abstract:
A fire suppression system includes a gaseous extinguishing agent and a liquid extinguishing agent. At least one emitter is in fluid communication with the liquid and gas. The emitter is used to establish a gas stream, atomize and entrain the liquid into the gas stream and discharge the resulting liquid-gas stream onto the fire. The emitter has a deflector surface with a closed end cavity.
Abstract:
The invention relates to multi-hole or cluster nozzle having several outlet openings for fluid to be atomized.In accordance with the invention, the central longitudinal axes of at least two of the outlet openings are aligned askew relative to one another, where a distance between the central longitudinal axes of these outlet openings and the main longitudinal axis of the nozzle is initially reduced when seen in the outflow direction, without intersecting the central longitudinal axis, and increases again after passing through a minimum distance.Use for example in nozzles for evaporative cooling or for flue gas cleaning.
Abstract:
An emitter for atomizing and discharging a liquid entrained in a gas stream is disclosed. The emitter has a nozzle with an outlet facing a deflector surface having a closed end cavity. The nozzle discharges a gas jet against the deflector surface. The emitter has a duct with an exit orifice adjacent to the nozzle outlet. Liquid is discharged from the orifice and is entrained in the gas jet where it is atomized.

Abstract:
An electric arc spraying system includes a spraying gun for thermally spraying an inner surface of an object such as a cylinder block by blasting compressed gas substantially perpendicularly to the supplying direction of target wires. The spraying gun is rotated by a spraying gun rotation mechanism. The target wires are loaded in and supplied from wire supplying sources. A wire feeder rotation mechanism is provided for rotating the wire supplying sources synchronously with the spraying gun in rotation. Wire feeders are provided at the spraying gun or adjacent to the wire supplying sources for feeding the target wires. Wire support cables are configured to guide the target wires from the wire supplying sources to the spraying gun.

Abstract:
A spray generator has a gas duct (1, 6, 10, 14, 16, 21) from which issues a stream of gas in various configurations according to the shape of the delivery end. Liquid is directed by nozzles (3, 11) or other means (13, 18, 22) transversely into the gas stream, although it may have a directional component going with that stream and/or a component to generate swirl. The relative speeds and amounts of gas and liquid cause the liquid to break up into droplets (9, 24) which form discrete clusters (5, 8) in a compact spray pattern. Secondary gas streams (17, 23) can be applied further to shape the spray pattern.

Abstract:
A side injection plural component spray gun having one or more injector assemblies mounted for injecting a catalyst into a main component at the most forward position of the spray gun. In one embodiment, the injecting assembly has an injection jet connected to the air path for injecting a catalyst into the air stream just before it exits a port for shaping the main component into a fan shaped pattern. The injection jet is constructed to minimize adverse effects on the air stream for shaping the spray pattern. In a second embodiment, dual injection assemblies inject catalyst for delivery through both shaping air ports on either side of the fan shaped pattern of the main component or allows injection of a third component. These embodiments minimize the build-up of catalyst on the walls and passageways of the spray gun minimizing the need for maintenance of the gun and preventing clogging and corrosion of passageways. The trigger for delivering the main component's air and catalyst is arranged to turn the catalyst on after the air, but before the resin, and off after the resin, but before the air to purge any small amounts of catalyst that might remain in the passageway. This eliminates the need for maintenance of the gun, the corrosion of internal parts, and the possible risk of unexpectedly getting catalysts on people or property, and use of undesirable solvents.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the removal of particulate matter and acidic gases such as sulfur dioxide from a carrier gas in which the carrier gas is driven through an elongate mixing tube by a steam ejector and mechanically atomized water is introduced into the outer region of the jet of steam emerging from the nozzle of the steam ejector. The mechanically atomized water is further atomized by the shearing action of the steam jet to form high velocity droplets which are intimately and turbulently mixed with the carrier gas so that the particulate matter in the carrier gas becomes entrained with the water droplets. The flow of the turbulent mixture of steam, carrier gas and water droplets through the mixing tube is regulated to provide a retention time in the mixing tube so that the water droplets containing the particulate matter grow to a size sufficient to permit separation of the drops by centrifugal means. If it is desired to remove sulfur dioxide or other acidic gases from the carrier gas in addition to the particulate matter, an alakaline reagent is introduced into the water prior to the mechanical atomization of the water whereby the further atomized high-velocity water droplets will contain the alkaline reagent. The flow of the turbulent mixture in the mixing tube is regulated to provide sufficient time for the alkaline reagent to react with the acidic gases and form aqueous droplets of sulfur reaction products, for the aqueous droplets to entrain the particulate matter from the carrier gas, and for the aqueous droplets to grow to a size sufficient to permit separation of the droplets by centrifugal means.
