Abstract
A radial nozzle assembly for use in a pressure vessel to enable fluid flow through the vessel wall is provided. The radial nozzle assembly has a nozzle and a cup-shaped flange extending from one end of the nozzle. The nozzle has a bore disposed therethrough along its length to permit fluid flow through the wall of the pressure vessel. The flange is defined by a generally cup or dome-shaped wall having an open end. The nozzle assembly is secured to the wall of the vessel such that the nozzle is disposed in a radial orientation to the flange and possibly in a horizontal orientation.
Claims14
A nozzle assembly for use in a pressure vessel defined by a wall having an inner surface of which defines an interior area and an aperture that extends through the wall of the pressure vessel;
- the nozzle assembly comprising:
- a nozzle having an inner and outer end with a bore disposed therein along its length to provide for fluid flow therethrough;
- and
- a flange extending from the inner end of the nozzle, the flange being defined by a wall having a cup-shape with an open end which defines an interior area, wherein the open end of the flange is attachable to the pressure vessel in fluid communication with the aperture of the wall of the pressure vessel;
- and
- wherein the nozzle extends radially from the wall of the flange.
