Abstract
A fluid atomizer with helical inlet channel which is used to atomize the fluid and convert the same into a spray of droplets, contains fluid inlet which are two independent chambers through which the flow passes and swirl chamber, transforms the fluid into spray dispersion by atomizing the same after the fluid is collected in the center after centrally coming fluid is dispersed by forming a swirl.
Claims25
A fluid atomizer with a helical inlet channel, wherein the fluid atomizer is configured to atomize a fluid and convert the fluid into a spray of droplets, the fluid atomizer comprises a fluid inlet and a swirl chamber, wherein the fluid inlet are two independent chambers, and a flow passes through the two independent chambers, the fluid atomizer transforms the fluid into a spray dispersion by atomizing the fluid after the fluid is collected in a center of the fluid inlet after a centrally coming fluid is dispersed by forming a swirl, wherein
- at least one fluid inlet allows the fluid to be transformed into a spray form, wherein the fluid comes from a main fluid line and is to be transferred to the helical inlet channels and the swirl chamber.
- a plurality of helical inlet channels are located on the at least one fluid inlet, the plurality of helical inlet channels extends from the at least one fluid inlet towards the swirl chamber helically, the plurality of helical inlet channels allows the fluid accumulated at the at least one fluid inlet to be atomized and transferred to the swirl chamber through the plurality of helical inlet channels, the plurality of helical inlet channels provides to receive the fluid from the center of the at least one fluid inlet and to access the swirl chamber at a tangential or predetermined angle with a swirl property,
- at least one swirl chamber is connected to the plurality of helical inlet channels and has a circular form, the at least one swirl chamber causes the fluid to enter from the at least one fluid inlet at a tangential or predetermined angle to create a swirl and directs the swirling fluid to a fluid outlet, the at least one swirl chamber can change a rotation speed and flow speed of the fluid coming from the plurality of helical inlet channels in a helical swirl flow characteristic by a geometric form of the at least one swirl chamber and plurality of helical inlet channels.
- at least one fluid outlet is located at a lower end of the at least one swirl chamber, the at least one fluid outlet can suck air in the at least one swirl chamber due to a characteristic of the flow inside and a pressure difference with an external environment, the at least one fluid outlet provides an outlet of the fluid in a form of conical fluid film or in a form of conical spray form by atomizing the droplets with the air, wherein the at least one fluid outlet sucks the air.
The fluid atomizer according to claim 1, wherein the helical inlet channel provides the fluid to exit from the fluid outlet by gathering the fluid coming from a single center on the same center axis in a separate area by transferring the fluid transferred from the center of the fluid inlet to the swirl chamber.
