ABSTRACT:
An energy absorber for a high pressure and velocity fluid jet emanating from a nozzle is disclosed. An energy absorbing ball is freely rotatably supported in an energy absorbing chamber between seat faces. The high pressure and velocity fluid enters the energy absorbing zones and strikes the ball, causing it to rotate. The energy of the fluid is thereby substantially reduced. Since the ball is constantly in motion, a new surface is continually being brought into contact with the high energy fluid stream. This insures uniform wear of the ball as well as a long life. The ball and seats are disposed in a first end of a fluid flow conduit whose second end is carried in an adjustable support block which is in fluid communication with a fluid return line. The support block allows the spacing between the nozzle and the energy absorber to be varied to accommodate varying thicknesses of materials being cut by the high pressure fluid stream.
