  • the outer injection channel opens into an outer injection point and the inner injection channel opens into the ring mixing chamber at an inner injection point.
  • the inner injection point is enclosed by the annular mixing chamber which extends coaxially around the nozzle axis. Viewed radially to the nozzle axis, the outer injection site is on the radially outer side of the ring mixing chamber and the inner injection site is on the radially inner side of the ring mixing chamber.

  • the outer injection site and the inner injection site are preferably arranged offset to one another in the direction of extension of the annular mixing chamber.
  • the direction of extension of the annular mixing chamber is to be understood as the course of the median plane through the annular mixing chamber starting at the end section of the liquid channel up to the outer end of the annular mixing chamber in front of the at least one outlet opening.
  • the direction of extension of the annular mixing chamber therefore does not relate to its course in the circumferential direction around the nozzle axis, but at right angles thereto along the central plane.

  • the gas streams entering from the different directions at the two injection points can also have a shear effect on the flow layer, which is particularly the case when the outer and inner injection points are offset in the direction of extension of the annular mixing chamber, but are arranged close to one another.
  • a spatially close arrangement of the two injection points is understood to mean that the compressed gas flowing in from one of the two injection points at least partially directly onto the other Injection site or a wall section immediately adjacent to the other injection site.
  • the inner injection site specifies a main outflow direction that intersects the median plane of the ring mixing chamber at a first angle.
  • the outer injection site can specify a main outflow direction that intersects the median plane of the annular mixing chamber at a second angle.

  • the gas line system is designed such that the gas volume flow that flows into the ring mixing chamber via the outer injection channel is greater than the gas volume flow that flows into the ring mixing chamber via the inner injection channel.
  • the gas volume flow flowing into the ring mixing chamber via the outer injection channel can be more than 50% and preferably up to 80% of the total gas volume flow which flows into the ring mixing chamber via the two injection channels. This division allows good atomization with a further reduced compressed gas consumption.

  • At least one outlet opening is present downstream of the annular mixing chamber.
  • the spray jet which contains the liquid atomized by gas, emerges from the at least one outlet opening.
  • the outlet openings preferably each have a rotationally symmetrical shape and can for example be cylindrical and / or widening and / or designed as a Laval nozzle.

  • the swirl generating means can be formed, for example, in that an inflow orifice for supplying the liquid into the liquid channel opposite the nozzle axis is radially offset and aligned obliquely. As a result, the liquid flowing into the liquid channel will already flow helically along the liquid channel with a swirl.
  • the swirl generating means can have a swirl generator which is arranged in the liquid channel and in particular upstream of the end section of the liquid channel.
  • the swirl generator is flowed through by the liquid and gives a swirl to the liquid flow. This can be done by inclined and / or helical guide surfaces and / or guide channels and / or by a rotor of the swirl generator, e.g. an impeller.
  • all known swirl generating agents can be used alone or in combination.
  • the swirl generator is arranged in a swirl generation section of the liquid channel which adjoins the end section of the liquid channel.

  • the flow cross section available for the liquid in the swirl generation section can be essentially constant in the flow direction.
  • the gas line system has a central channel which extends along the nozzle axis in the central part.
  • the central channel opens into the liquid channel in the central part.

  • compressed gas L first strikes the flow layer FH at the inner injection point 35 and influences its flow direction by giving the liquid flow in the flow layer FH an additional transverse component away from the nozzle axis A to the radially outer side of the ring mixing chamber 26.
  • Compressed gas L is supplied somewhat downstream at the outer injection point 30. Because the liquid flow has already been stimulated upstream at the inner injection point 35, very fine atomization of the liquid can be achieved by the inflow of the compressed gas L from the outer side of the annular mixing chamber.
  • the pressurized gas L flowing into the ring mixing chamber from different sides creates a shearing effect, so to speak.
  • one or more curvatures extend the annular mixing chamber 26 towards the nozzle axis A and / or away from the nozzle axis A. a further atomization and uniform distribution of the liquid particles in the liquid-gas mixture can be achieved, which is then released through the outlet openings 40 in the form of spray jets S.
  • the annular mixing chamber 26 curves downstream of the two injection points first towards the nozzle axis A and then again away from the nozzle axis A.
  • annular mixing chamber 26 instead of a curved course of the annular mixing chamber 26 between the injection points 30, 35 and the outlet openings 40, a hollow-cylindrical design of the annular mixing chamber can also be provided in this section in a modification of the exemplary embodiment illustrated here.
  • the invention relates to an atomizing nozzle 10 with a liquid channel 19, to which an annular mixing chamber 26 is fluidly connected downstream.
  • a liquid F is fed to the liquid channel 19 via a liquid connection 12.
  • the atomizer nozzle 10 also has a gas connection 13 which is connected to a gas line system 28.
  • Compressed gas L is conducted via this to an outer injection channel 29 and an inner injection channel 34.
  • the two injection channels 29, 34 each open into the annular mixing chamber 26 at one injection point 30, 35.
  • the outer injection point 30 is present on the radially outer mixing chamber wall with respect to a nozzle axis A, about which the ring mixing chamber 26 extends coaxially, and the inner injection point 35 on the radially inner mixing chamber wall.
  • the inflowing liquid can be finely atomized with a low pressure gas consumption in the ring mixing chamber 26 and downstream of the ring mixing chamber 26 via at least one outlet opening 40 each as a spray jet S are delivered.
