Claims18
A nozzle assembly of an abatement system, the abatement system having a chamber with a gas flow inlet and a gas flow outlet, the nozzle assembly comprising:
- a tubing including a first portion disposed in said chamber and a second portion that extends exteriorly of said chamber;
- a liquid pathway within said first portion of said tubing, said liquid pathway in communication with a liquid source;
- a plurality of nozzles coupled to said first portion of said tubing and in flow communication with said liquid pathway;
- wherein liquid from said liquid source is provided to said nozzles through said liquid pathway and expelled by said nozzles into said chamber to remove at least one of heat and combustion byproducts from a gas flow moving from said gas flow inlet to said gas flow outlet;
- and
- wherein said first portion of said tubing is fixedly rotationally adjustable to a plurality of positions from exteriorly of said chamber by adjustment of said second portion that extends exteriorly of said chamber, whereby when said first portion of said tubing is rotationally adjusted said nozzles are correspondingly rotationally adjusted.
A nozzle assembly of an abatement system, the abatement system having a chamber with an inlet, an outlet, and at least one opening extending through said chamber and positioned between said inlet and said outlet, the nozzle assembly comprising:
- a sealing plate blocking said opening;
- a tubing extending through said sealing plate and into said chamber;
- a liquid pathway within said tubing;
- a plurality of nozzles coupled to said tubing in said chamber and in flow communication with said liquid pathway;
- wherein said tubing is fixedly rotationally adjustable to a plurality of positions from exteriorly of said chamber, whereby rotationally adjusting said tubing correspondingly rotationally adjusts said nozzles.
