Abstract:
1. A high-velocity water misting gun system comprising: A) a main shaft, B) at least two high-speed bearings supporting said main shaft, C) an exhaust air nozzle, D) a water misting nozzle adapted to discharge mist into the exhaust air nozzle, E) a very high-speed hydraulic turbine mounted on said main shaft and adapted to discharge water into the water misting nozzle, F) an air compressor wheel mounted on said main shaft for compressing air to be discharged through said exhaust air nozzle, G) a high pressure water supply for supplying water to drive the hydraulic turbine and provide lubrication to high-speed bearings supporting a rotating shaft and to be turned into mist and mixed with the compressed air discharged from said exhaust air nozzle, and H) a turbine bypass structure adapted to permit a portion of the water supply to bypass the turbine into the water misting nozzle.
