vortexdüsen

VortexDüsen, also known as vortex nozzles or swirl nozzles, are devices designed to create a swirling or vortex flow in a fluid. This is typically achieved by introducing the fluid tangentially into a cylindrical chamber or by using specially shaped internal vanes. The resulting centrifugal force pushes the fluid outwards, causing it to rotate.

The primary purpose of a vortexdüsen is to enhance mixing, atomization, or dispersion. In combustion systems, for example, they are used to create a turbulent vortex that improves the mixing of fuel and air, leading to more efficient and complete combustion. This swirling action can also promote flame stability.

In spray applications, vortexdüsen can be employed to atomize liquids into fine droplets. The intense swirling motion breaks down the liquid stream into smaller particles, increasing the surface area and facilitating faster evaporation or better distribution. This is relevant in areas like agricultural spraying or industrial coating processes.

The design of a vortexdüsen can vary significantly depending on the intended application. Factors such as the inlet geometry, the presence and angle of vanes, and the outlet orifice diameter all influence the characteristics of the generated vortex, including its strength and stability. The principle is widely applied in various engineering fields where controlled fluid rotation is beneficial.
