ABSTRACT:
A nozzle for atomizing a liquid with a gas, such as an oil/steam or air/water mixture, injects the mixture through a plurality of orifices circumferentially spaced about the longitudinal axis of the nozzle, wherein each orifice defines an axis directed toward a respective portion of a linear target for creating a flat fan spray of substantially uniform fluid distribution. A mixing vane is mounted upstream of the orifices within the nozzle for creating a swirling or vortical flow within a mixing chamber to thoroughly mix the fluids prior to passage through the orifices. The mixing vane is in the form of a pair of transversely-extending, approximately sinusoidal vanes for creating the vortical flow and defining a central aperture for creating an axial flow within the vortical flow. The two-phase mixture is supplied to the mixing vane in a common inlet conduit.
