9 Claims.
This invention relates to a nozzle and, more particularly, to a nozzle construction for usages requiring that the discharged fluids be released with a swirling motion.
Such diffuser nozzles, although having many applications, are particularly useful for injecting liquid fuel into the burning compartments of furnaces, engines, and the like. Normally such nozzles are designed to provide a swirling discharge under certain predetermined conditions of fluid flow into the nozzle. In general, however, the effectiveness of the nozzle is limited to the narrow range of flow conditions for which it has been designed and it has been diicult to design a nozzle which will properly discharge the fiuid when the nozzle is required to operate over a wide flow range.
Accordingly, it is a general object of the present invention to provide a nozzle which will impart a swirling motion to fluids forced through the nozzle and which will discharge the fluids with a swirling motion throughout a wide fiow range.
A more specific object is to provide a nozzle which will induce a swirling motion to fiuid and discharge the fluid with a swirling motion and which will permit wide variations in fiow rate without the need for excessive pressures.
A further object is to provide a nozzle having means for varying the effective size of the nozzle orice responsive to fluid pressure and designed to maintain a swirling discharge of fluid during wide variations in flow rate and without the need for excessive pressures.
Other objects will be in part obvious and in part pointed out more in detail hereinafter.
The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereafter set forth and the scope of the application of which Will be indicated in the appended claims.
In the drawing:
Fig. l is a side elevational view of the nozzle of this invention coupled to a fluid conduit;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical cross-sectional view of the nozzle of Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the nozzle of Fig. 2 taken on a transverse vplane and viewed in the direction of the arrows 3-3 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view similar to Fig. 2 but showing a modified nozzle construction.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the nozzle elements are housed within a casing l of generally cup-shaped configuration which closes the open end of a fluid conduit I2. The conduit I2 receives fluid through a side duct I3 which is connected to a suitable reservoir or supply system (not shown) of fiuid under pressure. The conduit I2 is closed at its other end by a cap I4 which is removably secured thereto in any conventional manner. The form of the conduit I2 is exemplary only, and if desired, it may take a variety of forms and may house auxiliary controls such as valves and the like for operation in connection with the inlet I3.
A core I6 having a plurality of longitudinal fluid passages Il is disposed within the'conduit I2 and projects therethrough to receive the cupshaped nozzle casing Ill in threaded relation. A boss or shoulder lli-a on the core I6 adjacent the conduit I2 receives a seal I8 therearound against which the large diameter' opening of the nozzle casing I0 abuts.
The casing Id has a discharge opening 20 in its end Wall which diverges outwardly so that swirling motion to discharged fiuid will not be interrupted. The fluid is initially swirled after passing through the core ducts Il by means of a swirl plate or disk 22 transversely disposed as a wall in the casing Ill against an internal shoulder iii-a therein and forced thereagainst by a nut i@ having an enlarged bore IS-a to provide an annular passage around the end of the core Iii and which is externally threaded for securement within the casing IB. The plate 22 has a plurality of diagonally directed passages 2d (shown eight) for creating the swirling motion as the fluid passes from the core ducts I'I to the other side of the plate 22.
A diaphragm Z of saucer-like configuration, which may be formed of flexible sheet metal or other inherently resilient material, is secured at its peripheral portion between the plate 22 and shoulder lil-a. The diaphragm 26 and plate 22 cooperate to define a chamber C therebetween for receiving swirling fluid from the passages 24 in the plate 22.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the diaphragm 26 has a central opening in which is received a generally cylindrical orifice member 28 having an axial bore forming a through outlet opening so in register with the nozzle casing opening 29. The orifice member 28 is supported entirely by the diaphragm 25 and secured thereto as by swedging or the like so that it will shift With the diaphragm 26. The interior of the orifice member 28 is formed with a counterbore 29 and an outwardly diverging entranceway v3l 28 is in normal position, the fluid passing througli the nozzle is swirled under the inducement of this diagonal openings 24 in the swirl plate 28 and is further swirled into the orifice "n'i'eiiib'r ".23

During periods when the flow rate is relatively high, the diaphragm is displaced toward the rect'ly from th chamber Cto the orifice opening 42 in the diaphragm 40 without going through Athe grooves 52. At greater ow rates, the additional swirl inducement provided by grooves 52 is not required in order to produce the desired swirling di the fluid released through orice 42 and, the material increase in effective orifice openftnriz'zie nakes a possible to obtain the desird r'greater ilow rate without excessive increase in pressure.
