Abstract
A flowhood assemblycomprises an injectorwhich is fixable to a mountin a number of alternative mounted positions defined by rotation of the injector about an injection axis Xrelative to the mount. The injectorincludes one or more coolant portswhich are connected in use to a supply of liquid coolant C. The mountis fixable to a flowhoodin an upright, design orientation and in alternative connected positions defined by rotation of the flowhoodrelative to the mountabout a connection axis X. In a normal use position of the assembly the connection axis Xof the flowhood is arranged at a predefined angle, optionally 0°, relative to a nominal horizontal plane P. The injectoris not fixable to the mountother than in the alternative mounted positions. In use in the normal use position, and in each of the alternative mounted positions of the injector, the injection axis Xof the injector is oriented downwardly away from the injector relative to the horizontal plane P, and at least one of the coolant portsis arranged above the horizontal plane Pwhich passes through the injection axis Xat an outlet endof the nozzle.
