Systems, components, and methods for low pressure delivery of plural component systems such as polyurethane foams from unpressurized supply sources
Various examples are provided related to low pressure delivery, e.g., less than 250 psi at the point of application, of plural component system from unpressurized parts A and B material supplies. In one example, a system includes a polyurethane spray foam (“SPF”) raw material supply including parts A and B and a fluid handling system that can deliver the SPF raw material at low pressure to a metal spray gun in metered amounts through separate material fluid paths/conduits via a heated hose length and a whip hose. The fluid handling system can also deliver air at low pressure to the spray gun through separate air stream paths so that the air is communicated to the part A and B material conduits forward of the part A and B material input locations, where they are supplied separately to a mixing nozzle that is engaged at an end of the spray gun.
VAPORIZER DEVICE
A vaporizer device may include a vaporizer body configured to couple with at least one vaporizer cartridge including a first reservoir and a second reservoir. The vaporizer device may include a first aerosol generation mechanism configured to generate a first part of an aerosol by at least vaporizing a first aerosol component present in a first vaporizable material in the first reservoir. The vaporizer device may also include a second aerosol generation mechanism configured to generate a second part of the aerosol by vaporizing a first aerosol component present in a second vaporizable material at a second temperature. The first part of the aerosol and the second part of the aerosol may be delivered, via a mouthpiece, to a user of the vaporizer device.
DIFFUSER AND METHOD OF DIFFUSING
The diffuser can have a body having a gas passage comprising a gas inlet connectable to a gas source for generating a stream of gas along the gas passage, and an outlet for exhausting the stream of gas in the form of a jet outside the body, a liquid chamber having a liquid inlet connectable to a liquid source, at least one liquid delivery conduit connecting the liquid chamber to the gas passage, the liquid delivery aperture having a cross-sectional width of less than 1 mm, preferably less than 0.5 mm, more preferably less than 0.1 mm, and even more preferably being a capillary conduit, the liquid delivery conduit extending transversally to the orientation of the stream of gas in the gas passage.
HYDROGEN RECIRCULATION EJECTOR FOR FUEL CELLS
Disclosed is a hydrogen recirculation ejector for fuel cells including a recirculation line configured to recirculate residual hydrogen gas discharged from a fuel cell stack configured to generate electricity using air and hydrogen gas supplied thereto to an inlet of the fuel cell stack and an ejector including a nozzle installed on the recirculation line, the nozzle being configured to supply new hydrogen gas, a venturi tube configured to mix the hydrogen supplied from the nozzle and the recirculated hydrogen with each other, and a diffuser configured to supply the mixed hydrogen gas to the fuel cell stack, wherein the nozzle includes a hydrogen introduction portion, a ring-shaped inner wall, a ring-shaped outer wall, a ring-shaped front end wall, and a ring-shaped rear end wall, and wherein the thickness of the inner wall and/or the outer wall is gradually increased with increasing distance from the hydrogen introduction portion.
APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR DISPENSING AND FOAMING OF A PRODUCT
A portable apparatus for dispensing and foaming of a product, including: a product container which contains a product that is to be foamed by and dispensed from the apparatus; a gas container, at least containing a gas, for example a single gas or a gas mixture, wherein the gas substantially does not contain any greenhouse gases such as N20; a dispersion device, having a product entrance that is connectable to the product container for receiving product, the dispersion device further being connectable to the gas container for supplying the gas to the product during product discharge; a processing device downstream of the dispersion device for performing a mixing treatment and/or pressure reduction on the product provided with the gas; and a product dispensing head, being part of a top section of the apparatus and being arranged downstream of the processing device.
ATOMIZING ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN AN AEROSOL-GENERATING SYSTEM
An atomizing assembly includes a tubing section having an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end of the tubing section is connectable to a liquid storage portion, and the outlet end of the tubing section is in fluid communication with an atomizing nozzle. The tubing section is configured to deliver a flow of liquid aerosol-forming substrate through the atomizing nozzle. The atomizing nozzle includes an air channel configured to establish an air flow through the nozzle. The air flow is mixed with the flow of liquid aerosol-forming substrate.
Nozzle, valve, and manifold assembly for precision application of crop protectant
A treatment system for spraying treatment fluid onto plants in a field is described. The treatment system includes a highly configurable treatment mechanism including an array of nozzles and valve assemblies coupled into manifolds, and manifold assemblies. The manifolds of the manifold assemblies can be oriented in an open state or a nested state, the open state with no overlap between nozzles of adjacent manifolds and the nested state with overlap between nozzles of adjacent manifolds. The manifolds can have multiple configurations, examples of which include a tube manifold and an offset manifold. The nozzles of the system can have multiple configurations, examples of which include a tri-spray nozzle, a bar nozzle, a fan nozzle, and a deflected fan nozzle. The system can be controlled by a system controller which detects plant material and instructs a nozzle or combination of nozzles to spray treatment fluid.
Compressed air foam mixing device
A compressed air foam (CAF) mixing device is suitable for use in a CAF system that includes a pressurized source of a water soap mixture and a pressurized air source. The CAF mixing device includes an inlet portion, a venturi portion and a deceleration portion. The venturi portion communicates with the inlet portion and includes a constricted zone which presents a smaller cross sectional area than the inlet portion. The venturi portion opens into the deceleration portion that has a substantially larger cross sectional area than the venturi portion. At least one pressurized air conduit communicates with the pressurized air source and is arranged to be adjacent to the deceleration portion. At least one aperture communicates between the pressurized air conduit and the deceleration portion and introduces high pressure air into the deceleration portion in order to produce a water soap foam (CAF) suitable for firefighting.
Apparatus and method for providing an improved spray pattern with a squeeze bottle
A spray nozzle assembly includes a rotating spray nozzle and a cap for attachment to a squeeze bottle. The spray nozzle includes at least one exit orifice and at least three sidewall portions. The cap includes an indicator on an upper surface.
METHOD FOR ADJUSTING PRESSURE OF MIXTURE OF GAS AND PASTE MATERIAL DISCHARGED FROM DISPENSER
A dispenser for discharging a mixture of gas and paste material includes: a nozzle part (2) provided in a tip end part of a body (11) and having a tip end opening; a flow path (4) for the mixture extending from an introduction part (5) for the mixture to the tip end opening through a hollow space of the nozzle part; a needle part (3) movable in the flow path of the nozzle part to open and close the flow path; a driving part (7, 8, and 9) that drives the needle part; and a stopper part (10, 14, and 16) that limits an operation range of the needle part. The nozzle part has a tapered section in which an inside diameter of the flow path of the nozzle part relative to an operation range of a tip end of the needle part decreases toward the tip end opening.
