Boiler nozzle

Claim 2

A mixing nozzle assembly for use in dispensing a combustible fuel into a combination zone comprising means for mixing said fuel within said assembly, said mixing means comprising: (a) dual conduit means forming means to asperate a fuel in one of said dual conduits with aspirating fluid in another of said conduits, (b) a first mixing zone in which said asperated fuel is mixed, (c) nozzle means which discharge said fuel into said boiler, (d) a dispersing means partially placed in the flow path of fluid being discharged into said boiler, and forming means to further disperse said fluid; (e) and wherein said nozzle comprises means to disperse said fuel, in a series of streams, the inner portion of each said stream of which impact said dispersing means at a uniform angle.

Claim 3

A mixing nozzle assembly for use in dispensing a combustible fuel into a combustion zone comprising means for mixing said fuel within said assembly, said mixing means comprising: (a) dual conduit means forming means to asperate a fuel in one of said dual conduits with aspirating fluid in another of said conduits, (b) a first mixing zone in which said asperated fuel is mixed, (c) nozzle means which discharge said fuel into said boiler, (d) a dispersing means partially placed in the flow path of fluid being discharged into said boiler, and forming means to further disperse said fluid. (e) a second mixing zone between said mixing zone and said nozzle; and (f) wherein said nozzle comprises means to disperse said fuel, in a series of streams, the inner portion of each said stream of which impact said dispersing means at a uniform angle.

Claim 4

A mixing nozzle assembly for use in dispensing a combustible fuel into a combustion zone comprising means for mixing said fuel within said assembly, said mixing means comprising: (a) dual conduit means forming means to asperate a fuel in one of said dual conduits with aspirating fluid in another of said conduits, (b) a first mixing zone in which said asperated fuel is mixed, (c) nozzle means which discharge said fuel into said boiler, (d) a dispersing means partially placed in the flow path of fluid being discharged into said boiler, and forming means to further disperse said fluid. (e) a second mixing zone between said mixing zone and said nozzle; and (f) wherein said nozzle comprises means to disperse said fuel, in a series of streams, the inner portion of each said stream of which impact said dispersing means at a uniform angle.

Claim 5

A process for feeding a polyphase fuel mixture into a boiler through an outlet of a nozzle assembly in a dispersed form which facilitates combustion of said mixture, said process comprising the steps of: (a) feeding a polyphase fuel mixture into said nozzle assembly, (b) utilizing a plurality of conduits and two mixing zones as a mixing means within said nozzle assembly to assure a thoroughly mixed fuel is supplied to the nozzle outlet, and (c) discharging said fuel in a plurality of streams in a swirl pattern against an outer edge of a dispersing member mounted in front of, and proximate to, said nozzle assembly outlet.

Claim 6

A process for feeding a polyphase fuel mixture into a boiler through an outlet of a nozzle assembly in a dispersed form which facilitates combustion of said mixture, said process comprising the steps of: (a) feeding a polyphase fuel mixture into said nozzle assembly, (b) utilizing a plurality of conduits and two mixing zones as a mixing means within said nozzle assembly to assure a thoroughly mixed fuel is supplied to the nozzle outlet, and (c) discharging said fuel in a plurality of streams in a swirl pattern against an outer edge of a dispersing member mounted in front of, and proximate to, said nozzle assembly outlet.

Claim 7

A process as defined in claim 3 wherein said fuel is discharged against said dispersing member in a series of streams mounted around said dispersing member and directed at a swirling angle onto said edge.

Claim 8

A process as defined in claim 4 wherein a portion of each said stream nearest the axis of said nozzle assembly impacts said dispersing member.

Claim 9

A process as defined in claims 3, 4 or 5 wherein said fuel flow rate is from about 5 to about 50 gallons per hour and said nozzle conduits are about one-half of a centimeter in diameter.

Claim 10

A mixing nozzle assembly for use in dispensing a combustible fuel into a combustion zone, said mixing nozzle comprising: (a) dual conduit means forming means to aspirate a fuel from one of said dual conduits by aspirating fluid in another of said conduit means; (b) a first mixing zone positioned at the exit of said dual conduit means; (c) a second mixing zone forming means to mix said fuel subsequent to being passed through a swirl-imparting passage between said first and second mixing zones; (d) nozzle means which discharge said fuel mix into said combustion zone and which also comprise swirl-imparting conduits therein; and (e) a dispersing means partially placed in the flow path of a fluid being discharged into a combustion zone, and forming means to further disperse said fluid.

Claim 11

A mixing nozzle assembly for use in dispensing a combustible fuel into a combustion zone, said mixing nozzle comprising: (a) dual conduit means forming means to aspirate a fuel from one of said dual conduits by aspirating fluid in another of said conduit means; (b) a first mixing zone positioned at the exit of said dual conduit means; (c) a second mixing zone forming means to mix said fuel subsequent to being passed through a swirl-imparting passage between said first and second mixing zones; (d) nozzle means which discharge said fuel mix into said combustion zone and which also comprise swirl-imparting conduits therein; and (e) a dispersing means partially placed in the flow path of a fluid being discharged into a combustion zone, and forming means to further disperse said fluid.
