Multi-spray device
Abstract
Abstract A METHOD OF DISPERSING A LIQUID IN A MULTIPLICITY OF FINE MIST SPACED PATTERNS IS DISCLOSED. THE DEVICE CONSISTS OF AN INCLINED TROUGH HAVING A SERIES OF SUBTANTIALLY INCLINED BULBOUS PROTRUSIONS OVER WHICH LIQUID IS DIRECTED. AN ORIFICE IS LOCATED AT THE APEX OF EACH PROTRUSION THROUGH WHICH FLUID UNDER PRESSURE PASSES. A BLAST OF GASEOUS FLUID, FOR EXAMPLE AIR, IS DIRECTED THROUGH THE APERTURES THEREBY ATOMIZING THE FILM OF LIQUID PASSING OVER THE HOLES. BY INCLINING THE TROUGH, LIQUID NOT DISPRESED BU THE UPPERMOST BULBOUS PROTRUSION IS COLLECTED AND DIRECTED BY MEANS OF CONTOURED CHANNELS TO THE NEXT DOME UNDER GRAVITY FOR SUBSEQUENT ATOMIZATION THEREBY. THE UNUSED LIQUID IS THEN COLLECTED AND CIRCULATED BACK TO THE LIQUID SUPPLY TANK AND THENCE INTO A WEIR AT THE TOP OF THE TROUGH, THUS COMPLETING THE CYCLE. THE DEVICE THEREOF PROVIDES A MULTIPLE SPRAY ATOMIZING UNIT FROM ONE SOURCE OF LIQUID SUPPLY.
