Abstract
The invention is characterized by consisting of a body (1) with a central cavity (2) having an open inlet-port (3), and one or multiple cylindrical shaped cavities (4i), which are connected to the central cavity via one or 5 more openings (5i) with cross section areas less that the cylindrical cavity (4i), and where there is one centrally located opening (6i) in the cylindrical cavity end surfaces opposite the openings (5i) into the central cavity (2).
Claims5
A nozzle for fire protection with water droplets having droplet sizes diameters less than 1 mm, the nozzle comprising:
- a body with a central cavity having an open inlet port and one or multiple cylindrical cavities,
- a plurality of separating elements, each positioned at an interface between the central cavity and a corresponding one of the one or multiple cylindrical cavities;
- wherein one or more elongate openings each extend between the central cavity and a corresponding one of the one or multiple cylindrical cavities, wherein each of the one or more elongate openings open directly to the central cavity, and wherein each elongate opening of the one or more elongate openings are completely defined inside a corresponding one of the separating elements;
- wherein said one or multiple cylindrical cavities each have a first end and a cylindrical cavity end surface opposite the openings, and
- wherein each of the one or more elongate openings include cross section areas less than that of the corresponding one of the one or multiple cylindrical cavities, wherein each of the one or more elongate openings open into said first end, and wherein there is one centrally located opening in each cylindrical cavity end surface opposite the one or more elongate openings into the central cavity;
- wherein the one or more elongate openings have internal surface angles which extend in a direction not parallel with and not perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the corresponding cylindrical cavity thereby causing water to contact a surface of the corresponding cylindrical cavity so as to cause the water to spin around in the corresponding cylindrical cavity.
A low pressure water nozzle for fire protection with water droplets having droplet size diameters less than 1 mm, the nozzle comprising:
- a body with a central cavity and an inlet port open to the central cavity, wherein the inlet port is configured to be connected to a water source having a water pressure between 1 bar and 20 bars;
- a plurality of cylindrical cavities, wherein each cylindrical cavity includes a first end and a cylindrical cavity end surface opposite the first end, and wherein each cylindrical cavity defines a longitudinal axis therethrough;
- a plurality of separating elements, each arranged between the central cavity and a corresponding one of the plurality of cylindrical cavities,
- wherein each separating element completely defines an elongated opening extending internally therethrough, wherein each elongated opening has a first end directly open to the central cavity and a second end open to the corresponding cylindrical cavity, and wherein the each elongated opening has an internal surface angle that is oblique to the longitudinal axis of the corresponding cylindrical cavity.
