Abstract

A fluid spray nozzle for spraying fluid, satisfying a formula (r−r0)≦L tan 35°, wherein r0 is a radius of a section having a minimum area of the nozzle when cut perpendicular to a spray direction of the fluid; and r is a radius of cross-sections of an upstream side and a downstream side of the spray direction from the section having a minimum area with a distance of L.

Claims (9)

1. A fluid spray nozzle for spraying fluid, satisfying the following formula:

( r−r 0)< L ×tan 35°

wherein r0 is a radius of a section having a minimum area of the nozzle when cut perpendicular to a spray direction of the fluid; and r is a radius of cross-sections of an upstream side and a downstream side of the spray direction from the section having a minimum a with a distance of L.

2. The fluid spray nozzle of claim 1 , wherein the fluid is a gas.

3. A pulverizer, comprising plural gas spray nozzles configured to crash the gas each other with a material to be pulverized, wherein each of the plural gas spray nozzles is the fluid spray nozzle according to claim 1 .

4. The pulverizer of claim 3 , further comprising a classifier configured to classify the pulverized material.

5. The fluid spray nozzle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radius of the section having the minimum area is in a range of 1.5 to 10 mm.

6. The fluid spray nozzle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fluid spray nozzle includes an air feeding opening into which compressed air is fed, and a distance between the section having the minimum area and the air feeding opening is in a range of 10 to 100 mm.

7. The fluid spray nozzle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fluid spray nozzle includes an air feeding opening into which compressed air is fed, the compressed air having an original pressure in a range of 0.2 to 1.0 MPa.
