Ultrasonic Atomisers
An ultrasonic atomiser nozzle is an air driven acoustic oscillator
for atomising liquids by passing them through a field of high frequency
sound waves. The resulting droplets are very fine. |
Liquid atomisation occurs through
a two step process:
A. Liquid is ejected through a number
of small orifices into the spray nozzle outlet orifice, where a
central high velocity air stream produces the first liquid breakup
through a shearing action,
B. The air stream carrying the droplets
then impacts onto a resonator placed in front of the spray nozzle
outlet orifice, generating a field of high frequency sound waves.
Flying through the sound wave field, the droplets are vigorously
shattered into very fine droplets. Air bypassing the resonator
carries the atomised droplets downstream as a soft, low velocity
spray or "fog".
Advantages:-
1. infinite turndown ratio;
2. can't dribble as even the finest drop is atomised;
3. self cleaning as sound waves keep the tip clean;
4. extremely large orifice, so won't clog;
5. are able to produce a consistent level of droplet size over a wide flow
range.
Applications;
Excellent for burning of fuel oil, tar, etc.; for evaporative cooling or conditioning
of hot gases; for dust suppression; for humidification; etc. |

Conventional Air Atomiser Spray Nozzle
The conventional air atomising assemblies are available in a wide
range of Body Types and Spray Set Ups |
|
The atomiser body serves the purpose of conveniently connecting
the set-up to the feed lines for air and water, and it may include
several optional devices like shut-off needles or orifice cleaning
needles or air operated cylinders for remote operation.The standard
range of manual or automatic bodies, is shown in the photo.

Spray Nozzle Set-Up
The spray set-up is the actual atomiser- that is the
device where the liquid flow and the airflow come into contact
with each other and originate the mist spray. A spray set-up is composed of two parts, an air nozzle and a liquid
nozzle. When assembled, the air nozzle fits precisely onto the
liquid nozzle and the combination of the two provides the required
geometry to originate the spray.
The spray produced can be round, wide angle round, or flat; the
air/liquid mixing can be internal or external, and the liquid feed
can be by siphon or pressure. |

Wall Mounting Nipples
There are various special accessories
such as Wall Mounting Nipples. These specially designed nipples
make it possible to efficiently operate a standard atomiser directly
through the wall of tanks, or air ducts, without the need of
any other additional part or assembly fittings. Two different models,
for thin or thick walls, are available.

Pressure Tanks Pressure tanks provide liquid under pressure, and make it possible
to deliver liquid to an air atomising without requiring a pump.or
enables the operation of one or more air atomisers in areas where
a liquid supply is not available. By filling the tank with both
air and liquid, it is possible to operate an atomiser as a mobile
unit, totally independent from any supply line. The cart shown
beside, complete with adjustable valve assembly, filter system
and time programming, is typically used for disinfection in those
hospital areas where bacteria and germs must be safely eliminated.
The tanks are made out of AISI 304 stainless steel, with both
base and upper handles lined with rubber for easy handling and
protection from impacts.
