Abstract
The invention relates to a method for splitting an electrically conductive liquid, in particular a melt jet, comprising the steps providing the electrically conductive liquid which moves in a first direction (12) in the form of a liquid jet (10); and generating high-frequency travelling electromagnetic fields surrounding the liquid jet (10) which travel in the first direction (12) and accelerate the liquid jet (10) in the first direction (12), thereby atomizing the liquid jet (10).
Claims17
A method for splitting an electrically conductive liquid, comprising:
- providing the electrically conductive liquid moving in a first direction in the form of a liquid jet;
- and
- generating high-frequency travelling electromagnetic fields surrounding the liquid jet that travel in the first directions to accelerate the liquid jet in the first direction thereby atomizing the liquid jet.
A device for splitting an electrically conductive liquid, comprising:
- a liquid source for providing a liquid jet of the electrically conductive liquid moving in a first direction, and
- a coil assembly with at least one pole pair that is arranged downstream of the liquid source and coaxially with the liquid jet;
- wherein the coil assembly is adapted to generate high-frequency travelling electromagnetic fields surrounding the liquid jet and travelling in the first direction to accelerate the liquid jet in the first direction by means of the high-frequency travelling electromagnetic fields and thereby atomize the liquid jet.
