Abstract
A fluid atomizer is provided, and the fluid atomizer is used to atomize the fluid into a spray of droplets, and transform the fluid into spray dispersion in the form of intertwined inner conical film and outer conical film layer by atomizing the fluid. The fluid atomizer includes a plurality of inlet channels, at least one swirl chamber, at least one contracting channel, at least one flow passage channel, at least one internal outlet channel, at least one external outlet channel, and at least one channel holder.
Claims20
A fluid atomizer wherein the fluid atomizer is configured to atomize a fluid into a spray of droplets, and transform the fluid into a spray dispersion in a form of an intertwined inner conical film and outer conical film layer by atomizing the fluid, and the fluid atomizer comprises the following;
- a plurality of inlet channels, wherein the plurality of inlet channels ensure the fluid to be converted into a spray form to enter into a swirl chamber at a tangential or predetermined angle,
- wherein the swirl chamber creates a swirl and directs the swirling fluid to a contracting channel,
- wherein the contracting channel is located in a lower part of the swirl chamber and a diameter of the contracting channel is smaller than a diameter of the swirl chamber, and the contracting channel increases a rotation speed and flow rate of the fluid coming from the swirl chamber,
- at least one flow passage channel, wherein the at least one flow passage channel is located in the contracting channel, enables the fluid coming from the swirl chamber and the contracting channel to be divided and transferred to at least one internal outlet channel and at least one external outlet channel,
- wherein the at least one internal outlet channel extends downwards starting from an inner section of the contracting channel, passes a part of the fluid coming from the flow passage channel by being divided to an external environment by passing through the swirl chamber or through the contracting channel and to the external environment and simultaneously enables the fluid to be transferred to the external environment by absorbing an air coming from the external environment in a form of a spray in the form of the inner conical film layer,
- wherein the at least one external outlet channel extends downwards starting from the inner section of the contracting channel, has a diameter different from a diameter of the at least one internal outlet channel, transfers a part of the fluid coming from the flow passage channel to the external environment by passing through the swirl chamber or through the contracting channel and simultaneously provides a discharge of the fluid to be transferred to the external environment by absorbing the air coming from the external environment in a form of a spray in the form of the outer conical film layer,
- at least one channel holder, wherein the at least one channel holder is located vertically along a central axis of the swirl chamber and extends continuously from an uppermost surface of the swirl chamber downward through the contracting channel, ensures that the flow passage channel and the internal outlet channel are kept on the center axis of the swirl chamber and the contracting channel;
- wherein the plurality of inlet channels is connected to the swirl chamber, the swirl chamber comprises inlet openings, the inlet openings are located in a part where the inlet channels meet with the swirl chamber, wherein the flow passage channel is formed between the channel holder and the at least one internal outlet channel and the at least one external outlet channel within the contracting channel;
- wherein the inlet openings are configured to be connected to the swirl chamber, provides the fluid entering through the plurality of inlet channels to enter the swirl chamber at a tangential or predetermined angle;
- wherein the swirl chamber is in a cylindrical geometric form, has the plurality of inlet channels at a first end of a cylindrical surface and the contracting channel at a second end of the cylindrical surface, to the swirl chamber the fluid entering the plurality of inlet channels with a high pressure enters therein by passing through the inlet openings;
- wherein the swirl chamber has the channel holder on the central axis of the swirl chamber on the contracting channel;
- wherein the swirl chamber enables the fluid entering the inlet openings with a high pressure to create a swirling around the channel holder due to the inlet openings being at a tangential or predetermined angle;
- wherein the contracting channel is in a conical geometric form, increases the speed of the fluid making a swirling movement in the swirl chamber during a passage of the swirl chamber to the contracting channel;
- wherein the contracting channel increases the rotation speed of the fluid passing through the swirl chamber around the central axis of the swirl chamber, provides a decrease in the pressure of the fluid passing through the swirl chamber with a high pressure in a swirling flow characteristic.
