ABSTRACT:
An atomizer for internally mixing two fluids (usually liquids) by way of momentum supplied by a compressible third fluid (usually air or steam) and for discharging a jet of a finely atomized mixture of the three fluids. The energy from these high velocity jets also causes additional mixing of the three fluids external to the nozzle head as well as intimate mixing with the surroundings. The atomizer includes: a nozzle head defining a space for receiving a mixture containing the three fluids; a nozzle hole through the nozzle head for discharging the jet; and first, second and third fluid supply conduits connected to the nozzle head for supplying the first, second and third fluids to the nozzle head. The first fluid supply conduit has an aperture through the conduit wall so that the first and second fluids combine before being further mixed and dispersed by the third fluid. The second fluid supply conduit is positioned concentrically about the first fluid supply conduit and the third fluid supply conduit is positioned concentrically about the second fluid supply conduit.
