Abstract
An embodiment provides a nozzle, including: a conical-shaped portion having a first end and a second end substantially opposite the first end, wherein the first end has a smaller diameter than the second end; the first end having an attachment to hold the nozzle in a flow of fluid from an inlet, wherein the nozzle is positioned with the first end facing an inflow of a fluid and the second end facing a chamber; and the conical-shaped portion configured to direct the inflow of the fluid along an inner surface of the chamber, wherein the inflow of the fluid travels around the outer diameter of the conical-shaped portion. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Claims19
A nozzle, comprising:
- a conical-shaped portion having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the first end has a smaller diameter than the second end;
- the first end having an attachment to hold the nozzle in a flow of fluid from an inlet, wherein the nozzle is positioned with the first end facing an inflow of a fluid and the second end facing a chamber;
- and
- the conical-shaped portion configured to direct the inflow of the fluid along an inner surface of the chamber, wherein the inflow of the fluid travels around the outer diameter of the conical-shaped portion, wherein the outer diameter of the conical-shaped portion is shaped complementary to the inner surface of the chamber.
A colorimeter measurement chamber, comprising:
- an inlet;
- a chamber;
- and
- a nozzle;
- wherein the nozzle comprises a conical-shaped portion having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the first end has a smaller diameter than the second end, the first end having an attachment to hold the nozzle in a flow of fluid from the inlet, wherein the nozzle is positioned with the first end facing an inflow of a fluid and the second end facing the chamber;
- and the conical-shaped portion configured to direct the inflow of the fluid along an inner surface of the chamber, wherein the inflow of the fluid travels around the outer diameter of the conical-shaped portion, wherein the outer diameter of the conical-shaped portion is shaped complementary to the inner surface of the chamber.
A method for directing a flow of fluid in a colorimeter, comprising:
- placing a nozzle in an inlet of a chamber of the colorimeter, wherein the nozzle comprises a conical-shaped portion having a first end and a second end substantially opposite the first end, wherein the first end has a smaller diameter than the second end, the first end having an attachment to hold the nozzle in a flow of fluid from an inlet, wherein the nozzle is positioned with the first end facing an inflow of a fluid and the second end facing a chamber;
- and the conical-shaped portion configured to direct the inflow of the fluid along an inner surface of the chamber, wherein the inflow of the fluid travels around the outer diameter of the conical-shaped portion.
