Patent ID: 8088186

Claim:
Equipment for the atomisation of a liquid stream by means of a dispersing gaseous stream and for mixing the atomised product with a further gaseous stream, comprising: a feeding zone (A) equipped with means which are used for feeding the liquid stream, the gaseous dispersing stream and the further gaseous stream; one or more two-stage atomisation zones (N) of the liquid stream by means of the gaseous dispersing stream; a distribution zone (D) of the further gaseous stream; the first stage of the atomisation zone (N1) comprising a tubular core ( 2 ), through which the liquid stream passes, equipped with a series of nozzles ( 5 ), situated at the same height relative to each other, and an outer jacket ( 4 ) coaxial to said core, through which the gaseous dispersing stream passes, wherein said nozzles ( 5 ) allow the gaseous dispersing stream to enter the tubular core, perpendicularly to the axis of said tubular core ( 2 ), effecting a first atomisation of the liquid stream, the second stage of the atomisation zone (N2) comprising one or more nozzles ( 6 ) positioned at the end of the tubular core ( 2 ), parallel to the axis of said tubular core, to increase the atomisation degree, the distribution zone (D) comprising a further jacket ( 8 ), through which the further gaseous stream passes, external and coaxial to the jacket ( 4 ) of the first atomisation stage, and a series of nozzles ( 9 ) situated at the bottom of said further jacket, wherein the nozzles ( 9 ) are all positioned at the same height relative to each other and parallel or inclined with an alpha angle lower than 40° with respect to the axis of the tubular core.
