Abstract:
A method to sustain substantially constant and maximum kinetic energy to the contact zone of a reversed jet system per unit mass of sprayed fluid where the sprayed fluid's flow will be throttled as needed for process control reasons and where said maximum kinetic energy is substantially equal to the potential energy of fluid supplied to said spray, said method comprises combining a throttle valve and a spray nozzle into a single-structured nozzle valve as a means to maintain a constant sprayed fluid velocity as a means to maintain a constant kinetic energy in said sprayed fluid per unit mass flow of said sprayed fluid, said method further comprising radially distributing said fluid in an enclosing axially-aligned valve body, jointly forming a variable-area annular spray outlet with an axially-mounted orifice plate outlet and a seal-movable axially-mounted valve plug, and stroking said valve plug.
