Title: Nozzle for distribution of a fluid
Inventor: STRAND TOBIAS
IPC: F28D20/00
Filed: 2013-11-01
Abstract: In some fluid storage applications, it is considered necessary to keep water having layers with different temperatures unmixed when fluid (eg. water) is supplied to the storage, ie. to keep any existing stratification intact. It can therefore be important to create as low turbulence as possible in the energy storage when providing or admitting fluid to the storage. An embodiment of a nozzle (100) for distribution of a fluid having a speed is disclosed herein. Some embodiments of such a nozzle may serve to provide a nozzle which reduces the occurrence of turbulence mixing within, e.g., a thermal energy storage, hence reducing overall thermal exergy losses. In one embodiment, the nozzle (100) defines a plurality of flow passages (150, 160, 170), at least one of the plurality of flow passages (150, 160, 170) is a central flow passage (160) and at least a first and a second of the plurality of flow passages (150, 160, 170) are outer flow passages (150, 170). The outlets (152, 172) of the outer flow passages (150, 170) are arranged on either side of the outlet (162) of the central flow passage (160). The second outer flow passage (170) has an inlet area (235) which is smaller than an outlet area (a3). A central axis of the inlets (210, 220, 230) is substantially perpendicular to a central plane of the outlets (152, 162, 172). The flow passages are configured to direct the flow radially such that fluid flows out from the outlets of the nozzle substantially perpendicular to the central axis of the inlets.
