Low drift, high efficiency spraying system
A spray tip including a spray tip body and flow control element is provided. The flow control element includes a pre-orifice through which fluid can enter a primary fluid passage of the spray tip body. First and second discharge orifices are provided in a dome-shaped end wall of the spray tip body with each of the first and second discharge orifices being arranged on a respective one of opposing first and second sides of an apex of the dome-shaped end wall. Each of the first and second discharge orifices having an elongated slot-like configuration that maintains a substantially constant width as the respective discharge orifice extends from a first end to a second end and each and each extending a substantially equal distance to either side of the apex of the dome-shaped end wall.
CLAMP EQUIPPED NOZZLE AND QUICK CONNECTORS
A clamp equipped nozzle for enabling spooling of a hose includes a body defining a lumen having a central axis and configured to enable fluid to flow therethrough. A fluid outlet is in fluid communication with the body and is disposed at a first end of the body. The fluid outlet is configured to enable fluid to flow out of the clamp equipped nozzle defining a flow pattern. A coupler is configured to couple the body to an end of the hose and is disposed at a second end of the body. A clamp is configured to retain a section of the hose and is disposed along a longitudinal portion of the body. The clamp includes walls in a cylindrical configuration, the walls defining a longitudinal length that is approximately parallel the body.
Spray nozzle arrangement
An arrangement for spraying a fluid to a piece of material, such as a web or strip, has a chamber through which the material runs, and an applicator (15) which is configured to spray the fluid on the material. The applicator includes at least a first and a second valve (16, 16a, 16b, 16c) arranged within the chamber, each valve having a longitudinal axis, and each valve comprising a spray nozzle (17, 17a, 17b, 17c). Each spray nozzle has an elongated opening extending along an axis. The longitudinal axis of the valve and the axis of the corresponding nozzle span a plane and the at least said first valve and said second valve are arranged spaced on a common axis (CA) running through a center point of each valve. The plane is inclined in relation to the common axis.
Drain pipe treatment systems and related methods
A system for applying a chemical agent within a pipe includes a skid assembly, moveable longitudinally within the pipe. The skid assembly has a bottom positionable on a bottom, internal portion of the pipe. A delivery nozzle is carried by the skid assembly and is coupleable to a chemical agent supply. A dispensing tip delivers a controlled stream of chemical agent within the pipe toward an internal surface of the pipe. The tip is held at or above a surface of fluid carried by the pipe while at least a portion of the skid assembly is positioned below the fluid surface. The dispensing tip is limited from delivering the chemical agent downwardly toward the bottom of the skid assembly such that the dispensing tip delivers the controlled stream of chemical agent upwardly away from the bottom surface of the pipe and upwardly away from the fluid surface.
NOZZLE ASSEMBLY WITH TARGETED SPRAY DISTRIBUTION
A grate assembly includes a grate and a nozzle. The grate includes a nozzle aperture. The nozzle is received by the nozzle aperture. The nozzle includes a base and a baffle coupled to the base. The base and the baffle define a plurality of flow paths. The nozzle also includes a deflector ring removably positioned between the baffle and the base. The deflector ring includes a body that defines a spray outlet, wherein the body allows fluid flow through one or more flow paths aligned with the spray outlet and prevents fluid flow through the remaining flow.
Integrated multi image sensor and lens washing nozzle assembly and method for simultaneously cleaning a plurality of image sensors
A unitary or one-piece integral image sensor and washing nozzle assembly or module 100, 300, 400 is configured to enclose, protect, and aim multiple image sensors and effectively clean multiple lenses (e.g., 102, 104) simultaneously while using only one nozzle head (e.g., 120, 320 or 420) with at least one optimized spray pattern (e.g., 122). The module includes a housing with a cover or bezel (e.g., 106) that supports and orients the lenses and the nozzle head aims spray at the lenses along a spray axis, with the relative heights and spacings of the nozzle's outlet orifice (e.g., 174) and the surfaces of the lenses (e.g., 102, 104) selected so that a particular spray either glances across and washes a nearest lens (e.g., 102) or impacts and washes over a farthest lens (e.g., 104).

Continuous production of exfoliated 2D layered materials by compressive flow
Described herein are methods for continuous production of an exfoliated two-dimensional (2D) material comprising passing a 2D material mixture through a convergent-divergent nozzle, the 2D material mixture comprising a 2D layered material and a compressible fluid. The method of the present disclosure employs physical compression and expansion of a flow of high-pressure gases, leaving the 2D layered material largely defect free to produce an exfoliated 2D layered in a simple, continuous, and environmentally friendly manner.
CONCRETE SURFACE TREATMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
A system and method treating a horizontal surface of uncured concrete. The surface treatment system comprises a boom mounted to a vehicle body and an implement mounted to a mounting plated disposed at the working end of the boom. The implement comprises a texturing brush configured to engage a horizontal surface of the uncured concrete to apply a texture pattern thereto. The implement also comprises a first and second spray bars. The first spray bar is configured to apply a first chemical to the bristles of the texturing brush when in an engaged position. The second spray bar is configured to concurrently apply a second chemical to the textured surface of uncured concrete while the texturing brush is applying the texture pattern to the horizontal surface of the uncured concrete.
