Abstract
A spray nozzle including a body having a fluid inlet at one end thereof and an exit orifice at the other end thereof. The fluid inlet communicates with the exit orifice through a fluid flow path extending through the body. The exit orifice is adapted to atomize the fluid as the fluid leaves the body. The spray nozzle also includes a separate portion for atomizing the fluid independent of the exit orifice. The separate portion communicates with the fluid flow path upstream of the exit orifice. The separate portion produces a flat spray of the fluid as the fluid leaves the body. With these features, the spray nozzle is well suited as a fuel injector for a gas turbine.
