Fluid spray injectors
A fluid spray nozzle tip can include a feed hole body that defines at least one feed hole and a spray outlet, the at least one feed hole being in direct fluid communication with the spray outlet without also being in fluid communication with an upstream spin chamber. The at least one feed hole can be a plurality of feed holes, wherein the tip further includes a pintle sealing surface body extending from the feed hole body and configured to allow a pintle to seal against a sealing surface thereof.
1. A fluid spray nozzle tip, comprising:
a feed hole body that defines at least one feed hole and a spray outlet, the at least one feed hole being in direct fluid communication with the spray outlet without an upstream spin chamber, wherein the at least one feed hole is a plurality of feed holes, wherein the tip further includes a pintle sealing surface body extending from the feed hole body and configured to allow a pintle to seal against a sealing surface thereof.
2. The nozzle tip of claim 1 , wherein the spray outlet has a constant cross sectional area over a full longitudinal dimension of the spray outlet.
3. The nozzle tip of claim 2 , wherein the spray outlet is cylindrical.
4. The nozzle tip of claim 1 , wherein the spray outlet is defined through pintle sealing surface body and partly into the feed hole body.
5. The nozzle tip of claim 1 , wherein the feed holes are defined at a non-normal angle relative to a centerline axis of the nozzle tip where the at least one feed hole intersects with the spray outlet.
6. The nozzle tip of claim 1 , wherein the feed holes are at normal angle relative to a centerline axis to meet the spray outlet.
7. The nozzle tip of claim 1 , wherein the feed holes are straight.
8. The nozzle tip of claim 1 , wherein the feed holes are offset from centerline of the spray outlet to cause swirling in spray outlet.
9. The nozzle tip of claim 8 , wherein each feed hole intersects at least one other feed hole in addition to intersecting with the spray outlet.
10. The nozzle tip of claim 8 , wherein the each feed hole defines a feed hole axis and the spray outlet defines a spray outlet axis, wherein the feed hole axis is skewed relative to the spray outlet axis.
11. The nozzle tip of claim 1 , wherein the pintle sealing surface body defines a flange having a larger dimension from the centerline than the feed hole body.
12. The nozzle tip of claim 11 , wherein the spray outlet effuses from the pintle sealing surface body.
13. The nozzle tip of claim 1 , wherein the feed holes are recessed inwardly from the sealing surface such that the sealing surface extends at least partially over the feed holes.
14. The nozzle tip of claim 13 , wherein the feed holes have a non-linear shape.
15. The nozzle tip of claim 14 , wherein the non-linear shape is tentacle shaped.
16. The nozzle tip of claim 1 , wherein the feed hole body is integral with the pintle sealing surface body.
17. The nozzle tip of claim 16 , wherein the feed hole body is shaped to be surrounded by a pintle to allow the pintle to seal against the pintle sealing surface to prevent flow to the feed holes.
18. The nozzle tip of claim 16 , wherein the sealing surface body includes a cavity configured to receive a pintle to allow the pintle to interact with the pintle sealing surface to prevent flow to the feed holes.
19. A fluid spray nozzle, comprising:
a housing defining a flow cavity;
a nozzle tip disposed at an end of the housing, comprising:
a feed hole body that defines a plurality of feed holes; and
a pintle sealing surface body extending from the feed hole body and configured to allow a pintle to seal against a sealing surface thereof, and
wherein at least one of the feed hole body and the pintle sealing surface body define a spray outlet in direct fluid communication with the plurality of feed holes without an upstream spin chamber; and
a pintle disposed within the flow cavity and configured to axially actuate therein between an open position where the feed holes are in fluid communication with the flow cavity, and a closed position where the pintle interacts with the pintle sealing surface to seal the feed holes from the flow cavity.
20. A fluid spray nozzle tip, comprising:
a feed hole body that defines at least one feed hole and a spray outlet, the at least one feed hole being in direct fluid communication with the spray outlet without an upstream spin chamber, wherein the at least one feed hole is defined at a non-normal angle relative to a centerline axis of the nozzle tip where the at least one feed hole intersects with the spray outlet.
