Abstract
Abstract This invention provides an improved apparatus for discharging a horizontally flowing fluid stream in a substantially vertical direction by means of a horizontally positioned, elongated conduit quench nozzle wherein two channels are provided for fluid flow therethrough, the two channels having fluid turning vanes that split the fluid flow into a plurality of streams as the fluid exists vertically from the quench nozzle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
A method of introducing a fluid under pressure into a lower pressure medium so that said fluid is discharged vertically into said medium, which comprises: a. transporting said fluid from a higher pressure source to said lower pressure medium through an enclosed conduit, said fluid flowing in a substantially horizontal direction within said lower pressure medium; b. dividing said fluid into at least two essentially equal streams within said conduit so that the so formed first and second streams flow within separate channels of said conduit from the point of separation of said streams to a point of discharge from said conduit; c. dividing at least one of said first and second fluid streams into a plurality of streams while changing the direction of flow of said divided stream 180* to said stream''s original direction of flow; and d. dividing each of said first and second fluid streams into a plurality of streams while diverting their direction of flow from the horizontal to a vertical direction, said streams being then discharged through an aperture into said low-pressure medium as a plurality of vertically directed smaller streams.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
186 words
A method of introducing a fluid under pressure into a lower pressure medium so that said fluid is discharged vertically into said medium, which comprises: a. transporting said fluid from a higher pressure source to said lower pressure medium through an enclosed conduit, said fluid flowing in a substantially horizontal direction within said lower pressure medium; b. dividing said fluid into at least two essentially equal streams within said conduit so that the so formed first and second streams flow within separate channels of said conduit from the point of separation of said streams to a point of discharge from said conduit; c. dividing at least one of said first and second fluid streams into a plurality of streams while changing the direction of flow of said divided stream 180* to said stream''s original direction of flow; and d. dividing each of said first and second fluid streams into a plurality of streams while diverting their direction of flow from the horizontal to a vertical direction, said streams being then discharged through an aperture into said low-pressure medium as a plurality of vertically directed smaller streams.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
278 words
A nozzle for discharging a horizontally flowing fluid in a substantially Vertical direction which comprises: a. a horizontally positioned, elongated conduit having a closed end and an open end, said conduit being divided into at least two channels of substantially equal cross-sectional area extending from the open end of said conduit to a point just short of the closed end of said conduit; b. said channels being separated from each other by a horizontal baffle extending from one inside wall of said conduit to the opposite inside wall thereof and said baffle extending from the open end of said conduit to a point short of the closed end of said conduit; c. said conduit having a vertically directed aperture therein at a point removed from said closed end; d. at least one channel being in fluid communication with the aperture by means of a plurality of channels formed by a plurality of turning vanes positioned between the end of said baffle and the closed end of said conduit, each of said turning vanes forming a trough extending laterally across said conduit in diminishing size from the trough located nearest the closed end of said conduit; and e. further providing a vertical transverse baffle attached to said horizontal baffle normal to the axis of said conduit and positioned adjacent and substantially at the midpoint of said aperture so as to divert fluid flowing in either direction toward said aperture outwardly through said aperture, and adjacent said vertical transverse baffle on both sides thereof a plurality of turning vanes each forming an arc commencing at a point just before reaching the periphery of said aperture and terminating at the aperture.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
278 words
