Abstract
Liquid atomization systems and methods including nozzle apparatuses having one or more liquid orifice and one or more fluid orifices associated with each liquid orifice for forming atomized liquid flows. In one application, one or more atomized liquid flows are formed adjacent a moving article and vacillated predominately non-parallel to the direction of the moving article, before depositing the vacillating atomized fluid flows onto the moving article.
Claims9
A liquid atomization method comprising:
- forming an atomized liquid flow adjacent a moving article by drawing a liquid with continuous fluid flows directed along substantially opposite sides of the liquid;
- vacillating the atomized liquid flow predominately non-parallel to a direction of the moving article;
- depositing the vacillating atomized liquid flow on the moving article.
A liquid atomization method comprising:
- forming an atomized liquid flow by drawing a liquid flow with two continuous fluid flows directed along substantially opposite sides of the liquid flow;
- vacillating the atomized liquid flow predominately between the two fluid flows on substantially opposite sides thereof.
