MUMBAI, India, Nov. 21 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541095300 A) filed by Balasubramanian S, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, on Oct. 3, for 'a fluid distributing device with integrated fluid atomizer with means for reduction of pressure losses thereby achieving enhanced performance characteristics.'
Inventor(s) include Balasubramanian S; and Gomathy S.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an integrated fluid atomizer designed to efficiently convert liquid into fine droplets and disperse the fluid into a full-cone spray pattern. The device comprises multiple converging channels fluidly connected tangentially to the base of a conical swirl chamber, which is integrated internally within a pipeline or a container. At the vertex of this conical swirl chamber is an orifice positioned coaxially, whose outlet is situated externally to the pipeline or container. Fluid entering the converging channels undergoes acceleration and a subsequent increase in tangential velocity upon encountering a reduced cross-sectional area, resulting in a high- pressure, high-velocity flow at the swirl chamber's base. The fluid is then subjected to strong centrifugal forces, inducing it to form a rapidly swirling thin film along the inner walls of the conical chamber. This swirling film is forced toward the orifice, where shear forces and collisions at the orifice entrance cause atomization, generating fine droplets in a controlled and consistent pattern. The innovative integrated design eliminates the need for external adapters or fittings traditionally used in spray nozzles, effectively reducing pressure losses typically caused by such external attachments. By embedding the atomizer directly within the pipeline or container, this invention significantly enhances pressure utilization and atomization effectiveness, leading to improved performance in applications such as air conditioning systems, dust suppression, humidification, evaporative cooling and uniform water distribution in micro irrigation systems. Consequently, the invention reduces energy consumption, enhances operational efficiency, and achieves superior fluid atomization quality compared to conventional systems."
