Spray nozzle manifold
First Claim
1. A spray nozzle manifold comprising a first co-axial passage for supply of an atomisation gas, a second co-axial passage present in said first passage for supply of a liquid, more than one laterally spay nozzle for atomisation and spraying liquid in a direction away from the longitudinal axis of the manifold attached to the first passage, said laterally spaced nozzles run along one side of the first passage and a number of laterally spaced openings are present in the wall of the first passage at its opposite end, said nozzles having an inlet for liquid fluidly connected to said second passage, an inlet for atomisation gas fluidly connected to the first passage, a mixing chamber wherein atomisation gas and liquid mix and an outlet for a mixture of atomisation gas and liquid, wherein the nozzle has an opening for discharge of atomisation gas which said opening is in fluid communication with the first passage at a position upstream of the mixing chamber and wherein a shield is fixed to the first passage surrounding the nozzle.

5. An arrangement of spray nozzle manifolds, said spray nozzle manifolds comprise a first co-axial passage for supply of an atomisation gas, a second co-axial passage present in said first passage for supply of a liquid, more than one laterally spaced nozzle for atomisation and spraying liquid in a direction away from the longitudinal axis of the manifold attached to the first passage, said laterally spaced nozzles run along one side of the first passage and a number of laterally spaced openings are present in the wall of the first passage at its opposite end, said nozzles having an inlet for liquid fluidly connected to said second passage, an inlet for atomisation gas fluidly connected to the first passage, a mixing chamber wherein the nozzle has an opening for discharge of atomisation gas which said opening is in fluid communication with the first passage at a position upstream of the mixing chamber and wherein a shield is fixed to the first passage surrounding the nozzle,
wherein the majority of the nozzles are directed in substantially the same direction, wherein the manifolds are radially positioned in one horizontal circular plane and wherein conduits supplying atomisation gas and liquid to the manifold are present along its circumference and wherein the ends of the manifold at the center of the circle are spaced away from each other.
