Abstract:
Systems and methods that provide or restore a coating to a component are provided. The systems and methods utilized an atomizing spray device. A gas and a slurry that comprises fluid and ceramic particles are supplied to the atomizing spray device. The slurry and gas are discharged from the spray device to form two-phase droplets. The fluid within the droplets evaporates to prevent the fluid from becoming part of the coating as the droplets traverse through the air and prior to impacting the surface of the component.
Abstract:
Removable nozzle tips, spray head assemblies including the nozzle tips and liquid spray guns that include the nozzle tips are described herein. The removable nozzle tips provide and define both the liquid nozzle openings and the center air outlets for the center air of the liquid spray guns and the spray head assemblies. The nozzle tips are removably attached over a liquid nozzle port formed in the spray head assembly and/or on the spray gun platform or body using any suitable attachment mechanism. The removable nozzle tips can be removed from the liquid spray gun or the spray head assembly without disturbing the remainder of the spray gun or the spray head assembly.
Abstract:
This sprayer gives the possibility of projecting a liquid coating product along a spraying axis, and comprises a first passage of a product sheet, which is centered on the spraying axis, and a second passage for ejecting an air sheet which co-axially surrounds the first passage. The sprayer further comprises a third passage for ejecting another air sheet which is co-axially positioned inside the first passage, a nozzle centered on the spraying axis, and a core, co-axially positioned inside the nozzle so that the first passage is defined between the core and the nozzle. The sprayer further comprises a vibrator which is capable of vibrating at least the nozzle or the core.
Abstract:
A spray device includes a nozzle that forms a channel for supplying liquid to at least one opening for spraying the liquid outside the device, and, close to the opening, a first and a second electrode arranged in such a way as to inject electric charges into the liquid. The edge of the opening includes, on one side of the channel, at least one projecting end of the first electrode that projects into the channel and is to be brought into contact with the liquid, and on the other side of the channel, an electrically insulating nozzle body in which the second electrode is embedded adjacently to the first electrode, in such a way that the intensity of the electrostatic field in the or each projecting end is maximized.
Abstract:
A spray gun including: a nozzle provided with a fixed-side restricting section; a needle valve inserted inside the nozzle and provided with a valve portion such that an aperture is formed radially therebetween; an elastic seal member that comes in contact and is elastically deformed in an axial direction between the nozzle and the needle valve; and a straight joint formed by a female joint provided on a nozzle hole of the nozzle and a male joint provided on the valve portion. The straight joint is arranged such that the male joint fits inside the female joint before the elastic seal member comes in contact between the nozzle and the needle valve as well as after the aperture becomes the smallest, and the jointed state is retained until the elastic seal member comes in contact and is elastically deformed therebetween.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to a spray device for spraying two or more components. The two or more components are maintained separated in the spray device and are mixed post atomization. This invention is also directed to a gravity fed spray gun and a dual feeding device for spraying two or more components.
Abstract:
A method of assembling an injection device for use in a reactor injector feed assembly includes coupling a plurality of substantially concentric conduits to a modular tip. The method also includes coupling a first conduit of the reactor injector feed assembly to a modular tip and coupling a second conduit of the reactor injector feed assembly to the modular tip. The modular tip includes a first substantially annular nozzle and a second substantially annular nozzle defined therein. The first conduit and the first substantially annular nozzle are centered about an injection device centerline.
Abstract:
In accordance with certain embodiments, a system includes a spray device having a liquid pathway leading to a liquid exit, an air pathway leading to an air exit directed toward a spray region downstream of the liquid exit, and an assembly disposed in the liquid pathway adjacent the liquid exit. The assembly includes a threadless pintle generally fit into a sleeve in a concentric manner without threads. The assembly also includes a generally annular passage between the threadless pintle and the sleeve and a passage coupled with the generally annular passage. The generally annular passage also has a cross-sectional area that alternatingly increases and decreases in a lengthwise direction along the liquid pathway.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for atomizing a liquid, thereby forming a hollow cone of liquid, comprising a housing into which a first liquid product can be supplied, said housing comprising an outflow end and an insert piece with a guide end that interacts with the outflow end, thereby forming an annular outflow gap, wherein the housing is accommodated in the bottom of a hollow casing; and wherein apertures are present in the bottom, while a second medium can be supplied into the hollow casing, flow out of the apertures and interact with the hollow cone.The invention also relates to a spray drier, with a device according to the invention, to a device for conditioning a liquid product using the invention, and a method for conditioning a liquid product, using a device according to the invention.
Abstract:
A method of forming droplets comprises flowing a liquid through a channel; spreading the liquid into a thin film in the channel; and impinging the thin film with a flowing gas to atomize the liquid into droplets. The droplets may then be dried to produce dried particles, such as particles comprising a pharmaceutical active agent. The droplets formed by the disclosed process have improved size and/or size distribution characteristics.
