Abstract:
1. An injector for injecting a flat fan of liquid comprising: a) an injector body defining a pair of air channels, each air channel fluidly connected to a respective air inlet, wherein the air channels join one another at a common throat defined in the injector body and are separated by a land defined in the injector body extending from the air inlets to a point proximate the throat; b) a liquid inlet defined in the land proximate the throat, wherein the air channels and liquid inlet are in proximity to draw liquid out of the liquid inlet into the throat with air flowing through the air channels; and c) a diffuser in fluid communication with the throat, wherein the diffuser has a width that diverges over a length from the throat to an outlet of the injector body, wherein the diffuser includes an impingement surface defined in the injector body opposed to the liquid inlet, and wherein the liquid inlet is configured to inject liquid against the impingement surface to form a fan of liquid spray diverging outward through the diffuser.
