  • the invention relatesto a device for atomizing liquid or paste-like substances.
  • Such atomizing devices are used for many purposes. In most cases, the atomizer is required toproduce as finely divided and uniform a mist as possible.
  • crystalline fatty powders that is to say in the conversion of melted fat or fat mixtures into a fatty powder. What is required is a crystalline fatty powder that is as fine and uniform as possible and is always free-running.
  • a fatty powder of this nature can be mixed with any powdery substance to form a homogeneous blend. It is therefore particularly suitable for adding to milk substitutes, flours ready for baking and other such materials.
  • aqueous liquids containing solids are atomized at high temperatures, the water being evaporated (atomization drying).
  • the quality of the resultant product then depends largely on the atomising process, which determines in particular the degree of fineness and the uniformity of the product.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide atomizing devices which are simple in design but which will supply material that is more finely divided when atomized that is to say they will provide a finer powder, than other existing atornizers. It is also sought to ensure that the atomizing device, while occupying little space, shall have a high output, and that the atomized material shall emerge like a light beam, in the form of a group of parallel rays or jets, so that the atomized material is confined to a relatively small space. It is also intended to provide infinitely variable control of the particle fineness, from the finest dust to small pellets.
  • This the invention achieves by virtue of the fact that there is fitted. at the centre or apex of a concave or pe flect r. ana ns v sefratiwhis the particles emerge at high velocity along the generator line of the curved surface of a cone so as to assume It is particularly advantageous that as the finely atomised particles leave the device, that is to say the reflector, they are confined to a substantially cylindrical beam. The amount of space occupied by the stream of particles is thus reduced to a minimum. Accordingly,
  • the particles should emerge from the initial atomizer at the apex of the reflector at a high velocity and also that they should not impinge on the reflector at a shallow angle to ensure that the particles do not, slide along the reflector, but become further subdivided as they bounce off it.
  • n qr ly ntustthsatq a aat ga 99 be qnxertesiin a cylinder, but also the particles must, first and forem sa sat m aedf lhrqu p ct w th he flector.
  • the liquid in the atomised substance forms a complete film around any solid particles present in the substance.
  • This film or coating is advantageous in such cases where for example, a fatty liquid coating acts as a protection against changes caused by oxidation of the solid particles.
  • the primary atomizer should be a nozzle containing a number of holes or passages lying within the curved surface of a cone and leading into a common feed passage. From each such hole or passage, the substance to be atomized emerges substantially in the form of a jet, all the jets collectively forming the requisite atomization cone.” 7 mm
  • the said body which projects into the reflector and can rotate coaxially with the latter, the said body containing a number of eccentric passages running from end to end of the body and extending substantially parallel to the axis of the reflector or in alignment with the second third of the atomizin reflector.
  • One end of the rotary nozzle body extends into a space for feeding the liquid under pressure, while the other end or other part projects into the reflector.
  • the liquid leaves the nozzle passages with an axial velocity component which is largely determined by the pressure. Superimposed on this component is a radial component of velocity which is largely determined by the speed of the cylindrical body, so that finally the desired atomization cone is produced. If the passages mentioned are in alignment with the second third of the atomising reflector, there is the further advantage that the streams of particles leaving the passages even when rotation is stopped will still strike the reflector and be fgrthgr atomizedlyit.
  • T ansle f divergence f the a qm z n 9 1?. a be regulated by a combined variation of the pressure and speed of rotation.
  • the speed can be varied up to a level of about 25,000 revolutions per minute and the pressure in the feed space can be varied up to a level of 30 atmospheres or so. Since the angle of divergence of the atomization cone can be regulated, so, too, can EIEZQQEIHEQEQEQEQEQEQEQHP f atomization cone strikes the reflector. This in turn means that the effective peripheral speed of the reflector at the moment of impact, can be varied to alter the desired degree of atomization, of tl esubstance.
  • the reflector is mounted without freedom to rotate on the periphery of the cylindrical nozzle body projecting into it, so that the reflector and the nozzle rotate at the same speed and in the same direction.
  • arrangements can also be made in which the reflector and the nozzle to rotate at different speeds or even in opposite senses.
  • F tor qtimawtansein he miZ iQn o to stance are the form of the individual holes or passages in the cylindrical body and the ratio between the total cross-sectional areas of the feed and of the atomising holes or passages.
  • each passage starting from its downstream end, should first be conically narrowed and then conically opened out again towards its upstream end. Passages so shaped reduce flow resistance at entry and, by jet interruption, promote the primary atomizing action at the exit.
  • the fi a f9 .0 .s r 0f the omized ma eria ca also be affected by the cross-sectional shape of the holes or passages, which may be round or oval, or even retilinear, e.g. oblong-rectangular, square, triangular or slot-shaped.
  • the passages run axially through to the rear end of the cylindrical nozzle body, which extends into a pressure cylinder into which the liquid is fed under pressure.
  • the reflector can advantageously have a plug and socket connection with the cylindrical nozzle body, which is held fast against rotation.
  • reflectors of different designs and more particularly having different angles of divergence can be readily mounted on the same feed cylinder or. vice versa, different feed cylinders differing more particularly in the design of the passages they define, can be mounted on one and the same reflector.
  • a screwed connection or the like may be provided.
  • a reflector be welded in each instance to a hollow cylinder such as can be plugged or screwed to the cylindrical nozzle body and secured against turning, the respective passages therein being interchangeable for various exit cross-sections. This enables a wide range of variatio is to be derived from a single atomizing device.
  • the intake ends of the feed passages in the cylinder be arranged to terminate in a common annular space, with which the feed connection communicates.
  • This annular space may be provided in the hollow body or stator surrounding the cylinder.
  • the annular space may be provided in the form of an annular groove, for example in the periphery of the cylinder itself.
  • Another proposal in this connection is the provision of a stator having a through-bore, so that the two parts of a rotor, one comprising the passages and the other the reflector can be coupled to the driving shaft, by being plugged into opposite sides of the bore.
  • one or more concentric circular grooves are provided in the two ring-shaped end faces of the stator, so that ring-like protruberances on the facing ends of the rotor parts can be inserted into the grooves to form a labyringth seal.
  • Means of relieving axial pressure should preferably also be provided.
  • Feeding the liquid by the method here proposed, through the hollow motor shaft makes it possible to dispense with one of the two seals otherwise required, in addition to which the rearward end of the shaft can be very satisfactorily sealed in the special antechamber.
  • a sliding ring seal or a rotation coupling is proposed.
  • the shaft passes through the antechamber it is provided with a ring of hard metal, which cooperates with a sliding carbon ring mounted on the shaft, or vice versa.
  • These two sliding rings, of hard metal and carbon are forced together by spring pressure to produce the sealing action. Sealing from the inside outwards is to be preferred, because contamination of the product can never arise if a leak should develop through wear.
