Device, system, and method for atomizer nozzle assembly with adjustable impingement

An adjustable atomizer nozzle assembly, comprising:

• a) an assembly body;
• b) a liquid heater mounted inside the assembly body;
• and
• c) a first nozzle component, including:
• a first compressed air tube;
• a first liquid tube;
• and
• a first atomizer nozzle, which further comprises a first nozzle outlet;
• wherein the first nozzle component is connected to the assembly body;
• wherein the first atomizer nozzle is configured to mix air in the first compressed air tube with a liquid in the first liquid tube, such that the air and liquid is emitted by the nozzle outlet in the form of a first aerosol stream in a direction of a first elongated axis;
• wherein the liquid heater is configured to heat the fluid, before the fluid flows to the first atomizer nozzle.

An adjustable atomizer nozzle system, comprising:

• a) an adjustable atomizer nozzle assembly, comprising:
• a first atomizer nozzle;
• and
• a second atomizer nozzle;
• wherein the first and second atomizer nozzles are rotationally connected, such that the first and second atomizer nozzles are configured to rotate in a horizontal plane;
• such that the first atomizer nozzle is configured to emit a first aerosol stream in the direction of a first elongated axis;
• such that the second atomizer nozzle is configured to emit a second aerosol stream in the direction of a second elongated axis;
• wherein the first and second aerosol streams intersect at an impingement angle between the first elongated axis and the second elongated axis;
• wherein the impingement angle is configured to be adjustable by a configuration of a first rotational position of the first horizontal rotational connection and a configuration of a second rotational position of the second horizontal rotational connection;
• whereby the first and second aerosol streams intersect and combine to form a combined aerosol stream, and whereby adjustment of the impingement angle adjusts the average droplet size and distribution of the combined aerosol stream;
• b) a mast assembly, such that the adjustable atomizer nozzle assembly is removably mounted on an upper end of the mast assembly;
• c) a self-coiling line assembly, further comprising:
• a compressed air line;
• a pressurized liquid line;
• and
• a power line;
• wherein the line assembly is connected to the nozzle assembly, such that the compressed air line is connected to the first and second atomizer nozzles, and the pressurized liquid line is connected to the first and second atomizer nozzles;
• d) a pressure tank, further comprising a pressurized liquid;
• e) a compressor, which is connected to:
• the pressure tank, such that the compressor pressurized the liquid;
• and
• the compressed air line, such that the compressed air line provides compressed air to the nozzle assembly;
• and
• f) a power supply, which is connected to the compressor and the power line.
