Patent attributes
The multi-orifice nozzle for droplet atomization includes a head having a plurality of liquid supply channels, a plurality of liquid supply channel entrance openings, and a plurality of liquid supply channel exit openings. A pressure cap is positioned proximate the head, the pressure cap defining a pressure chamber and a plurality of pressure chamber exit orifices defined in the pressure cap. An alignment spacer is defined on the head and interfaces with the pressure cap such that each of the plurality of pressure chamber exit orifices is aligned with a corresponding liquid supply channel exit opening of the plurality of liquid supply channel exit openings. The alignment spacer prevents relative rotation between the head and the pressure cap and space each of the plurality of pressure chamber exit orifices from the corresponding liquid supply channel exit opening of the plurality of liquid supply channel exit openings.
