## 1. Summary

This report summarizes the droplet sizing as a function of pressure and time of

Nozzles 1 and 2

.



## 2. Hardware

Two nozzles, a manifold, and canister were provided to ERC for testing. The

nozzles are labeled as shown in Figure 1 . The nozzle details and test conditions are

also summarized for each nozzle in Figure 1

. Figure 2 shows the location of the nozzle pressure tap. Several pressure tap

locations were suggested by ERC, Seal Seat allowed ERC to make the final location

determination.

The hardware received at ERC is shown in Attachment 1 – Hardware Received

at ERC

. The canister was filled per guidance from Seal Seat. See Attachment 2 –

Recharge Instructions.pdf Received from Seal Seat 26 Jul 2011 for more details.

Seal Seat also provided the premixed 50/50 solution of potassium acetate in

water.Energy Research Consultants N1, N2 Summary Report Seal Seat PO number 7291871

## 4. Pressure Measurements

Ti me resolved pressure measurements were obtained with an Omega pressure

transducer (PX212). A standard Bourdon tube pressure gauge ( 0 – 400 psig range)

was also connected as a backup.

A sample plot of pressure decay versus time is shown in Figure 4 . Note that

ERC observed the gas discharge point of discontinuity slightly sooner than the Seal

Seat log. This was discussed with Seal Seat and, in a separate discussion, their

customer, and both concluded that this difference was within tolerance and not a

significant concern.

## 5. Spray Visualization

Spray visualization was done with digital photography (Nikon D90). Stills are

summarized in Figure 5 . Two exposures were used, a very short exposure used to

freeze the drops, and a longer exposure used to show the overall spray size and angle.

Note that some non-uniformities in the background are present in the long exposure

images which can be seen behind the spray itself. These non-uniformities are not

associated with the spray in anyway. The spray itself was symmetric and free of

defects or streaks. The non-uniformities are associated with the black background.

## 6. Size Measurements

6.1. Instrumentation

Droplet size measurements were made with Phase Doppler Interferometry (PDI).

A two component PDI system with frequency domain processing (TSI FSA3500) was

utilized. This instrument can resolve droplet size as a function of time. A screen shot of

the PDI measurement screen is shown in Figure 6

.



## 6.2. Measurement Locations

Radial profiles consisting of five evenly spaced points were obtained at three

axial stations: 12, 18, and 36 inches downstream of the nozzle exit. One of the five

points was obtained on the opposite side of the radius to assess symmetry. A sketch of

the measurement locations is shown in Figure 7

. The precise locations for Nozzle 2 at the 12 inch axial station differed slightly

from those for Nozzle 1. Originally, a horizontal laser sheet was used to determine the

spray edge. Subsequent PDI measurements on Nozzle 1 at 12 inches indicated the

spray was more dilute than originally anticipated based on the laser sheet results, with

less spray at the edge. Hence for Nozzle 2 the spray was not probed quite as far

radially as Nozzle 1.



## 6.3. Collection Procedure

Droplet size data collection began when the canister was manually triggered.

For Nozzle 1, data collection ended when the nozzle pressure dropped below 80 psig,

per the purchase order from Seal Seat.

Per discussion with Seal Seat after the completion of Nozzle 1 data collection,

the procedure was adjusted and, for Nozzle 2, data collection ended when there were

no more detectable droplets exiting from the nozzle. The canister pressures dropped to

below 80 psig, but not necessarily 0 psig, since no drops were present prior to reaching

complete canister discharge.



## 6.4. Other Available Measurements

Note that PDI simultaneously measures droplet size and velocity. Additional data

are also available such as mean and fluctuating axial and radial velocity components,

volume flux (liquid volume per area passed through per time) and number density

(droplet count per sample volume). Only size data are presented here per the customer

request. The additional data are archived at ERC should they be desired in the future.Energy Research Consultants N1, N2 Summary Report Seal Seat PO number 7291871

## 6.5. Size Results

The measurements are summarized in Table 1

. The size data are plotted in Figure 8 through Figure 40 . The presentation format

of the data was approved by Seal Seat and their customer. Mean droplet sizes versus

radial position, histograms of droplet count versus droplet size, and time series’ of

droplet size versus run time are included. Note that the plots shown in Figure 9 and

Figure 10 are small so that all 15 sample locations can be presented in one table to

facilitate comparison. Larger histogram and time series plots are shown in Figure 11

through Figure 40

. Also note that the maximum of the vertical histogram axis showing

counts purposely changes from run to run, in order to bring out the details of each case.

The time series plots are explained a bit further here. The time series of

individual droplet sizes versus run time is shown in red in Figure 10 through Figure 40

. A running average of 500 samples was computed and is shown in green. The goal of

the running average is to smooth out short term variations and highlight an overall long

term trend. The average was computed as follows: For any individual red sample in

the series, the average of the next 500 samples was computed and that average is

plotted at the time for the first red sample used in the computation of that particular

average. For the next red sample in the series, the average of the next 500 samples is

computed and plotted at the time of the first red sample used in the calculation of the

new average. Once there are less than 500 red samples left in the series, the running

average is no longer computed, hence the reason the green running average ends

before the red series does. The running average started at the beginning of the red

series, as opposed to ending at the end of the series, in order to focus on the larger

pressures and presumably smaller droplets at the beginning, consistent with Seal Seat’s

expectation of customer interest. For locations probed at the edge of the spray were

there were less drops, if there were less than 500 samples, a running average was not

computed.

Smaller droplet sizes are observed at the centerline of the spray and larger

droplets are observed at the edge of the spray. More droplets are observed at the

center of the spray as opposed to the edge. These observations are typical for the

spray produced by this type of atomizer.

Relatively small drops were observed in nozzle 2 testing as the canister was

discharged below 80 psig. Below 80 psig, both liquid and nitrogen gas are exiting from

the nozzle. Twin fluid atomization (liquid and gas) produces smaller drops than liquid

only atomization.

It is observed that, in general, the spray size does not change significantly as

time increases and pressure decreases. Generally, it is expected that atomization will

degrade as pressure drop is reduced. As a result, a short study was conducted with

Nozzle 1 to explain this. Data were obtained at constant pressures for about 5 minutes

near the centerline, and about 1 minute near the edge. The results are shown in Figure

41 and indicate that significant degradation in atomization (that is, increasing droplet

sizes) is not observed until discharge pressures fall below 100 psig. Since the bulk of

the Nozzle 1 operation is above 100 psig (recall Nozzle 1 testing terminated at 80 psig

per vendor instructions), not much change in the time averaged sizes occurs for thisEnergy Research Consultants N1, N2 Summary Report Seal Seat PO number 7291871

### nozzle. ERC experience suggests that the average droplet sizes would increase more

sharply as pressure was reduced. The fact that the nozzle is still producing relatively

small droplets at a pressure as low as 100 psig is a positive attribute of this nozzle.
