The present disclosure discloses a method for finely processing a nonmetallic material, including: crushing a nonmetallic mineral to obtain a nonmetallic block, drying at ambient temperature, coarsely grinding the dried nonmetallic block to obtain coarsely ground particles, subjecting the coarsely ground particles to a second grinding, and then ball milling in a ball mill, drying and sieving to obtain a powder with various particle sizes; classifying and marking the powder to determine the grade and corresponding use of the powder; modifying the nonmetallic mineral powder in a modification device, grinding by a drum ultra-fine vibration mill to obtain a modified powder; calcining the modified powder, then cooling at ambient temperature, mixing with a strong alkali solution to react in a water bath; adding an excessive hydrochloric acid solution, and filtering, washing and drying the resulting filter cake to obtain a product.

A low flow compact spray head design for cleaning applications, especially for camera lens wash includes a miniature spray nozzle head which is about 5 mm in diameter or less for a single direction spray nozzle and about 8 mm in diameter of less for a nozzle with multiple sprays. The washer fluid is fed from the bottom of nozzle along a flow axis and is separated into two flows via two power nozzles or inlets which turn the flows 90° to become opposing jets impinging upon each other inside an interaction region. Uniform stream lines are generated by the two direct facing jets and converge at the nozzle throat to become a uniform spray fan, which is on a plane perpendicular to the axis of cylindrical nozzle head. This fluidic circuit design enables a miniature size low flowrate nozzle to operate well consistently with low flow rate (e.g., a flow rate of about 150 mL/min to about 300 mL/min at 25 psi, or even a flow rate of about 250 mL/min at 25 psi or above, at a viscosity of about 25 CP) at cold temperate (−4° F. or lower) with 50 percent ethanol. This nozzle design is capable of generating two or more different oriented spray fans (e.g., fans spraying in opposing directions) from one single nozzle.

An air nozzle includes a main body having a compressed air passageway to allow a compressed air to flow therethrough and a compensation air passageway in communication with the compressed air passageway. An external air is sucked into the compressed air passageway through the compensation air passageway and ejected together with the compressed air when the compressed air flows through the compressed air passageway.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a showerhead having a head portion; a handle extending from the head portion, the handle having an inlet disposed at an end of the handle opposite the head portion and a first channel extending through the handle; a faceplate disposed at a first side of the head portion; a plurality of nozzles extending through the faceplate; at least one first nozzle disposed in the head portion separate from the faceplate; a second nozzle adjacent to the at least one first nozzle; and a flow director having a second channel fluidly coupled to the first channel and moveable between a first position, a second position, and a third position to selectively direct a flow of water through a corresponding one of the plurality of nozzles, the at least one first nozzle, or the second nozzle.

An elongated pool return for achieving high flow rates at low velocities is herein disclosed. The pool return generally includes an elongated main body and a slot box. In use, the pool return is mounted within a side wall of a pool such that a distal end of the slot box is exposed from the side wall, and fluid is permitted to flow into and through the main body, through the elongated slit, and through the slot opening, and into an opening of the pool. Because the pool return is elongated, large amounts of water can be displaced at low velocities.

An atomizing spray device includes a housing having plural inlets and one or more outlets fluidly coupled with each other by an interior chamber. The inlets include a first inlet shaped to receive a first fluid and a second inlet shaped to receive a slurry of ceramic particles and a second fluid. The interior chamber in the housing is shaped to mix the first fluid received via the first inlet with the slurry received via the second inlet inside the housing to form a mixture in a location between the inlets and the one or more outlets. The interior chamber in the housing also is shaped to direct the mixture formed inside the housing as droplets outside of the housing via the one or more outlets such that, based on a discharged amount of the first fluid in the droplets, the first fluid promotes evaporation of the second fluid as the droplets traverse from the housing toward a surface of a component.

A sprinkler apparatus, a flow rate control valve assembly, and a sprinkler irrigation system for providing an even distribution of water across an asymmetrically shaped water receiving area. The sprinkler apparatus comprises a pop-up sprinkler head with a base housing for confiningly receiving a pressurized water flow that actuates a nozzle housing slidingly and rotationally cooperating with the base housing to pop-up into an operating position for discharge of water through at least one pair of nozzle assemblies. The pair of nozzle assemblies comprise an upper nozzle assembly and a lower nozzle assembly near the top end of the nozzle housing. The upper nozzle assembly controllably projects the pressurized water flow for a precisely set distance, while the lower nozzle assembly comprises a vertical slit-shaped aperture through which water is discharged in a curtain effect. Together, the pair of nozzle assemblies achieve a substantially uniform elliptical linear spray pattern with a bias to outermost end. A flow rate control valve assembly is further described and comprises a flow control valve assembly that can be fluidly coupled to a pop-up sprinkler head to controllably supply the pressurized water flow, the flow control valve assembly comprising a water inlet fluidly coupled to a water supply and a water outlet fluidly coupled to the pop-up sprinkler head, the water outlet cooperatively engaging with a rotary disc valve having a tapered passage wherein sliding rotation of the rotary disc valve incrementally adjusts the valve between an opened position and a closed position to control the pressurized water flow through the water outlet.
