Definitions
- This invention relates to a nozzle for a hose or pipe installed in an off-shore environment, and more particularly to a nozzle for use in providing a water curtain in an offshore environment.
- water curtains are routinely employed to protect operations from damage cause by the heat from a flare.
- the provision of a water curtain permits operations behind a water curtain to continue and personnel may continue to utilise work areas which are separated from a flare by a water curtain.
- Water curtains are also used to protect buildings and equipment from other sources of heat, in particular where it is not required or where it is not practicable to extinguish the source of heat. For example, water may be most effectively used to protect buildings and equipment from bush fires, until said fires have passed. Alternatively, it may be required to disperse water over a wide area in order to soak that area and prevent combustion within that area.
- Water curtains are typically formed by passing pressurised water through a deflecting nozzle. Nozzles commonly in use comprise a body with a through channel, opening onto a deflector positioned at or close to the outlet of the channel.
- the large quantities of water required are drawn from locally available natural water sources, such as sea water, or water from rivers, lakes or aquifers.
- water sources typically contain debris such as silt, mud, rocks and the like and it is a known problem in the use of deflecting nozzles for the nozzles to become blocked by such debris.
- Nozzles of the prior art for example nozzle type D42 produced by Spraying Systems Co. (Carol Stream, Illinois, USA), are required to be disassembled in order to clear blockages. This requires that the water supply must be discontinued, which can result in costly or potentially dangerous suspension of operations.
- aspects of the present invention are directed to means for preventing blockages from occurring in nozzles, and some aspects of the present invention are directed towards the removal of blockages.
- a nozzle for a hose or pipe comprising a body, a fluid channel extending through the body, deflecting means arranged at or near the downstream end of the channel for deflecting a flow of fluid leaving the nozzle and means for adjusting the position of the deflecting means relative to the end of the channel, said adjusting means being responsive to fluid pressure.
- the adjusting means is responsive to fluid pressure in excess of a pre- determined threshold fluid pressure.
- the adjusting means is a resilient member.
- the resilient member is a spring.
- a resilient member is selected having a pre-load which exceeds the force on the deflecting means applied by normal operating fluid pressure in the unblocked, partially blocked or fully blocked nozzle. Operation of the adjusting means requires a user to increase fluid pressure above a threshold pressure determined by the force on the deflecting means required to overcome the pre-load of the resilient member.
- An adjusting means comprising a resilient member having such a pre-load will therefore not trigger in response to small variations in fluid pressure, thus ensuring consistent operation of the nozzle.
- the adjusting means is demountable and thereby replaceable.
- a demountable adjusting means may be replaced by alternative adjusting means chosen to be responsive to a pre-determined threshold pressure of fluid in the nozzle, selected according to the required operating conditions of the nozzle. Adjusting means may thus be installed on a given nozzle to suit changing operating conditions, without the requirement to install an alternative complete nozzle.
- the deflecting means is a deflector.
- the deflector is conical.
- the adjusting means is fixed between the deflector and an end cap mounted in the end of the fluid channel. Access to adjust or replace the adjusting means is thus effected by removal of the end cap.
- the length of the resilient member is changed in response to fluid pressure applied by fluid flowing through the channel and impinging on the deflecting means.
- the outlet between the end of the body and the deflecting means becomes blocked by debris in the fluid
- an operator can increase the fluid pressure through the hose or pipe (and thus in the nozzle) so that the fluid pressure overcomes the pre-loading of the resilient member.
- the position of the deflecting means then changes, thereby allowing the debris to pass through the outlet.
- the operator can decrease the fluid pressure through the hose or pipe to normal, causing the adjusting means and the deflector to return to their normal positions.
- the nozzle is formed of a light weight material.
- the light weight material is a marine grade aluminium.
- the body is preferably tubular and most preferably, the body has a generally circular cross section.
- the deflector is secured to a mounting member, and the mounting member is positioned centrally within the channel and connected to the body by one or more buttresses.
- the mounting member is generally circular, such that at least a portion of the channel is annular.
- the mounting member is hollow (for example, tubular) to minimise the mass of the nozzle.
- the upstream end of the mounting member is provided with a conical tip, which may be a sharp conical tip.
- the upstream edge of the or each buttress is also provided with a sharp profile.
- the deflector is secured to a spindle, and the spindle is secured to the body.
- the spindle is adapted to be secured, for example threadably secured, to a mounting member.
- the spindle is hollow. Most preferably, the spindle is generally tubular.
- the adjusting means is a spring fixed between the deflector and an end cap mounted on the end of the spindle.
- the size of the outlet between the end of the body and the deflecting means may be adjusted.
- the deflector is mounted on a spindle, and may be slideably mounted on the spindle, and the spindle is attached to the body.
- the spindle and/or the deflector is demountable and thereby replaceable.
- the size of the outlet between the end of the body and the deflecting means is adjustable by adjusting the position of the deflector on the spindle, for example by placing one or more spacers on the spindle between the deflector and the body.
- a nozzle for a hose or pipe comprising a body, a fluid channel extending through the body, deflecting means arranged at or near the downstream end of the channel for deflecting a flow of fluid leaving the nozzle, and debris fragmenting means positioned within the channel upstream of the deflecting means for breaking up debris within fluid passing through the nozzle, in use.
- the body is preferably tubular and most preferably, the body has a generally circular cross section.
- the deflecting means is a deflector.
- the deflector is secured to a mounting member, and the mounting member is positioned within the channel (and preferably centrally within the channel) and connected to the body by one or more buttresses.
- the upstream end of the mounting member is convex.
- the upstream end of the mounting member is a conical tip and may be a sharp conical tip.
- the upstream edge of the or each buttress is also provided with a sharp profile.
- the provision of one or more buttresses with sharp upstream edges and/or a mounting member with a convex upstream end such as a conical tip both smoothes fluid flow in the nozzle past the mounting member, and acts to break up clumps of debris within the fluid, thereby functioning as debris fragmenting means.
- the size of the outlet between the end of the body and the deflector is adjustable.
- the size of the outlet between the end of the body and the deflector is adjustable by adjusting the position of the deflector.
